    James Horner - The Voyage Home

    EDIT: Took down the first draft video, so it's just the final edit now. I’m not sure where this would be better posted, so I’m just gonna put it here until someone can direct me toward a better section or thread. I was watching ALIENS with an isolated track that had James Horner’s original...

    Roddenberry and the Biblical Allusions in TOS.

    Something that has always stuck out to me with TOS compared to the rest of Trek is how heavy handed biblical allusions were right from the very beginning, with Pike and Vina being compared to Adam and Eve. How the show seems to take real joy in pointing out how Spock looks like Satan. The...

    Punctuation Music

    One thing that stuck out to me rewatching TOS is hearing an overabundance of “punctuation” music. For example, in “Space Seed” there’s the punctuations playing when Khan views the surgical knife, grabs it, and then grabs McCoy. I figure this was something of a staple in TV scoring at the time...

    The Undiscovered Country - Theatrical Cut Blu-ray vs Director's Cut iTunes

    I recently bought THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY on iTunes, which includes an HD copy of the Director's Cut. One difference in the transfer for the DC is that it used Nick Meyer's preferred taller aspect ratio 2:00 instead of the 2:35. Not surprising. The other difference is quite a freaking relief...

    Title Sequence Updated for Season 2

    http://trekcore.com/blog/2019/01/star-trek-discovery-season-2-title-sequence-debuts/?fbclid=IwAR2UYOonU5eMEs96z3QS8K8NCir9DeBVZP5qaVIXDKiQyhd_QBHX3VLWR-U Only omission I notice is the Klingon weaponry replaced by more Trek iconography like the IDIC and the TOS captain's chair. Assuming more...

    The four-year wait for INTO DARKNESS

    This is something I really wanna delve into: Why was INTO DARKNESS delayed for four years? Has there ever been any more reasons on why Paramount felt it was necessary to wait for four years? It's hard for me to believe that this is all because everyone wanted to wait for J.J. Abrams to finish...

    Star Trek's Troubling 50th Anniversary

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/william-bradley/star-treks-troubling-50th-anniversary_b_6493002.html I think this is a pretty level headed take on where the Trek franchise is at this point. If you want to understand why there's a lot of worried Trek fans out the when it comes to the upcoming...

    Why did production on GENERATIONS start so soon after TNG?

    This is the one thing that really puzzled me about the making of this flick. I think many would agree had this film been given more time to breathe after the show ended we might have have had a more refined version of this flick. It also seems like a mistake that Moore and Braga were working on...

    The most fun experience you had with nuTrek.

    I have a feeling many will point to the films themselves as something they had the most fun with, but I had a very different experience so I'll just lay that out first. It was seeing the first trailer with actual footage. I was in theaters for QUANTUM OF SOLACE and as usual I show up on time...
