    When I started my current job, my boss and one of the older guys there asked me “star trek or star wars” after I mentioned liking sci fi (they preferred the different franchises respectively and were looking for a tiebreaker for their banter or something I guess). Got a laugh out of them by replying with “stargate”.

      “Star Track or Space Wars… Oh no you misunderstand… The Doc won science fiction in 1954 with Lensman, it was so good that they stopped making Sci-Fi. But I’m sure your things are just fine, I guess.” Looks like you missed that opportunity, better luck next time.
