What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

It's the only one that makes me tingle when I hear it. Very sixties. If you do not like it, get on my lawn!

 

If I get on your lawn does the TOS theme play?

 

More electric violin.

 

Hmmm, I need to work on that.

 

Fandom in a nutshell.

 

Each Star Trek series stands as its own thing. Exists in its own pocket universe of continuity, if you will. Sure, it may reference other shows and/or feature characters from other series, but it's not connected into some grand unified CANON.

Makes it far more easier to let go of all the little continuity errors and all that jazz.

 

Whoo that alt TNG is amazingly generic. Yeesh.

And ENT Archer is slow/noble with the RAWKIN E-lectric geetar added over the top.

I want rousing, but not generic. TOS AND TMP/TNG!

 

1. TOS
2. VOY
3. TNG
4. DS9
5. ENT
6. PIC
7. DSC
8. TAS
9. LD

 

The Alt-TNG theme sounds like something I'd expect from a late-'70s sci-fi show, riding the Star Wars wave like the original Battlestar Galactica, not something that would've come out in the late-'80s. If someone had told me that would've been the Phase II theme, and I didn't know better, I would've believed it.

 

The Alt-The Voyage Home theme is even more interesting:

 

I like it... just not for the opening of TVH.

This music makes me think of Archetypal TOS. Coming off of it, you'd expect Kirk and Spock on the Enterprise doing their thing... and TVH opens with the exact opposite of that. Kirk and Spock are on Vulcan, the Enterprise is destroyed, and Spock isn't quite back to being himself yet. Then they head home on a Klingon Bird of Prey, before time-travelling back to 1986.

If they played this music at the end of TVH, right after Kirk says, "Let's see what she's got!" and the Enterprise-A warps out, then that would've been the place to put it.

 

I never knew that Ice Capades had a Trek themed show.

 

It's weirdly reminiscent of the end of Star Trek Beyond, which similarly covered the TOS theme.

 

I liked the ENT music theme for the two In A Mirror, Darkly episodes. Very rousing.

 

There are five lights.

 

Making Dr. Bashir genetically engineered might have been a bad decision. It kind of took away his awkwardness and goofiness and made you wonder how much of that was just trying to hide who he really was.

 

Alexander Siddig certainly agreed.

 

"Over-thinking" only happens if you're not having any fun while world building anymore.
To that it is irrelevant whether something is a minor or major part of the original work.

 

Dr. Bashir is my favorite DS9 character.
