Unfortunately we don’t have polls in lemmy. Nonetheless I’d love to hear from you: What’s your favourite Star Trek theme and/or your favourite scene with special (background) music?

For example: My favourite theme is TNG and my favourite scene is Cochrane’s warp speed flight in First Contact with Steppenwolf’s “Magic Carpet Ride”.

    Lower Decks is the best one of all the post kelvin Treks, for sure, but that might be because it’s borrowing so heavily from TNG/TMP.

      I think that’s part of it. I do think they deserve some credit, though, for the way the note drops down at the end of each repetition of the main motif, mirroring how the Cerritos doesn’t have the same confidence as the Enterprise.

      Also, while I don’t necessarily like the newer cinematic themes as much, I do respect the use of the Inner Light flute in the Picard theme. Also, although still not a top tier theme, Strange New Worlds’s theme is at least memorable, though probably in part because of its borrowings from the TOS theme. The Prodigy theme feels like a blend of cinematic, TAS, and TNG-style themes.
