I swear to Bob that even as I type this, Giacchino's "Enterprising Young Men" is sailing through my head.
I also quite enjoy Giacchino's Trek music. However, I kinda hope he abandons his previous motifs in favor of something new. One of the greatest things about Trek movies of old is how many varied and timeless scores it has. The score for First Contact is nothing like the score from TMP, but they're both still great.

I recently picked up a 3-pack of Fast & Furious 4-6, and listened to Lin's commentaries for 4 and 5.
Something he says in both commentaries is that he actually likes sequels, but feels it's important they don't just "repeat what works". More specifically, he wants the characters and their relationships to develop.
The other interesting thing is he is very comfortable talking about both the action sequences, with their opportunities and challenges, and character stuff - giving each character their arc, and getting the most out of their dramatic (or comedic) scenes.
All reasons to be hopeful.

If anyone manages to pick up an issue, I'd be interested in some choice quotes.

With the exception of using the theme from TMP (which was, of course, used for the TNG theme song) and the reusage of the Klingon theme for Worf.
This isn't a drive-in, but cool just the same. Encountered this image by accident:
To talk about the character stuff in the Fast & Furious series feels like boasting about the plot in a porno film, or the articles in Playboy (yes, I heard Playboy doesn't don't do nudes anymore). It's always amusing.
Wait, what?
200 different worlds? Wasn't it just 150 by Picard's time in First Contact??
How is it 200 a 110 years prior??
The Federation seems to be focused upon finding allies and being a little more expansionist in facing Nero's threat.
You don't know what you're talking about.
So this may have been posted before but I stumbled across it on youtube. Was a pretty interesting watch. Star Trek: Secrets of the Universe - Documentary 2016

To echo eyeresist, you really don't know what you're talking about. Because regardless of what one thinks about the level of realism in the F&F films (and they're inherently ridiculous, but that's part of the fun), the latter four films especially, spearheaded by Justin Lin (except for the most recent one), have featured a large stable of recurring antagonists and antiheroes with overlapping plotlines, the latter in the form of Vin Diesel's/Dominic Toretto's ever expanding circle of "family" and friends, that's almost as deep and rich as any comic or scifi franchise continuity.
The series has grown from being primarily standalone films focused on streetracing and criminal activities, to becoming continuity-laden large ensemble heist movies along the lines of the Ocean's Eleven series, to now becoming revenge and special missions movies akin to Mission: Impossible and The Dirty Dozen... with cars. And in the process of those changes they've built up one of the most ethnically diverse casts of characters in film, and actually given them a great deal of character development and backstories over the course of the franchise. Former enemies have become allies then best friends and now even family, both literally and figuratively.
There's plenty you can knock the Fast & Furious franchise on if you were so inclined, but "character stuff" is one arena where it's largely agreed that the series excels by both critics and fans.
Because it's a different timeline with different priorities driven by attacks from time traveling future antagonists, a somewhat hotter Cold War with the Klingons, and the destruction of the second most influential world in the Federation followed by the near-destruction of the most influential world.Wait, what?

I watched F&F 7 for the sole purpose of seeing what it was all about and giving it a chance. I was curious with no preconceptions. My opinion was formed after watching it. I could not get past the "ridiculous" and it still looked like action porn with diversity and plot thrown in for the sake of it. I wasn't impressed.
Where is this, because they have beach movie showings here near where I live.
This isn't a drive-in, but cool just the same. Encountered this image by accident:
By the way, F&F 7 was directed by James Wan , not Justin Lin.
