Nerdy Star Trek Question Again :D

So...which is your favourite theme from the series's? Such as Voyager, DS9 or the TOS

And which is your favourite from the movies? Such as Wrath of Khan, or First Contact?

Fav theme: 1) TOS; 2) Voyager (I was prepared not to like it, but it quickly grew on me. It could have been Jeri Ryan, too.)

Fav movie: 1) First Contact; 2) Wrath of Khan (Shatner and Montalban tripping over their egos was great).

My contention has always been that these movies are as good as the villains in them and I agree with much of the sentiment here that Star Trek got a lot more interesting when the Borg were created.

Gene Roddenberry was a legitimate visionary in many ways, but I never agreed with his rather sappy, overly optimistic view of the future. It just doesn't comport with human nature. There is a line that Khan speaks in the 2nd TOS movie that always makes me smile. One of his henchmen says, "They're (the Enterprise) lowering their shields." And Khan responds with a smirk, "Oh, yes, we are one big happy Federation."

I believe Roddenberry had the point of view as the many captains did "We're explorers" etc. whilst Starfleet Command was cooking up plans to kill the Klingons. It makes sense, from a certain point of view ;)

@Fangirlsarah1996: There is a really good documentary on Netflix if you have access to it that chronicles the creation of TNG. By the second season the writers were at wit's end with Roddenberry's vision saying, "How can you have an interesting story if you are writing about a society where there is no conflict and everything is perfect?"

Agreed, the same happened with Batman VS Superman, the only version that makes sense is the DIRECTORS cut, the way it was supposed to be made.

He's a good director...he just likes image more than substance, BUT, BvS was a damn good movie in the Dcut

VOYAGER AND FIRST CONTACT COS I LOVE THE BORG.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
Picard is the best lol I think the only problem was they were in a big ass ship that nothing could scratch, not like Voyager where it was a shitty science ship, or Enterprise (Which I'm watching now for the first time) where they are literally the worst ship out there...I mean...the ships good an' all...but it's nothing to the Vulcans...the Vulcans lol

Voyager is beautiful!!! :O

Yeah it feels like every episode of Enterprise is about their stupid warp core failing. I was literally discussing this with the lab technician at my work place the other day xD
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
Warp core or Archer tries getting chummy with the locals or "Bridge Crew member" gets kidnapped xD

It's still good though.
I like the one with the strange stuff coming out of the ears...
Why? did he died?
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
No, it was just the last one they made :)
Like this?

TOS theme still thaws my frozen heart like a cool island song.

Movies also have to go First Contact. I just love the Borg as a sort of cautionary tale.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
A big booming, sort of stomping theme, the way they film the cube made them feel big, powerful and unstoppable. Too bad they didn't make a track with just that Borg segment, on the OST it starts with Trek, then goes to Borg, then the rest is back to Trek.
KingofPizza2 · 36-40, M
Pity indeed! I suppose with the right software you can slice it up but it's just not the same.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
It's so spine chilling though which sucks lol

The original theme had all that theremin, so it wins on pure ridiculousness. The films I was always partial to 6.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
6 was...Search for Spock...right? (I feel stupid xD )
Something · 41-45, M
Nope, 6 was The Undisovered Country. Kirk gets arrested for murdering the Klingon Chancellor.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
I remember now, that was a really cool film, really started to iron out the dark side of Trek.

Wrath of Khan had the best theme, easily. First Contact stood out as well.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
Both had cool themes with the best villains in Trek ;)
SW-User
I can get down with that assessment
SW-User
Well it obviously isn't gonna be Enterprise haha. DS9 I think.. Can't remember the films.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
You can still use the end credits theme, that was Enterprise's strongsuit :)
Next generation and First contact.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
Good choices :)
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
I like Troi!
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
She's not a theme sadly xD
SW-User
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
And from the movies? :D

TOS. And I always liked James Horner's Trek 3.
