Soundtrack details, don't read the track listing

Thanks for the warning!

 

I honestly see one MAYBE two potential real spoilers there. One of which has been assumed for some time. The other which could have several different connotations.

Spoiler: Soundtrack

The first is “Where It All Began” which likely has to do with the Enterprise-D.

The next is “The Missing Part of Me” which could suggest a death, it could be about Riker talking to Troi about Thad’s death, it could be about Data, it could be about Beverly and Jean Luc (even though that’s not really been a thing this season) or it could be about Seven/Raffi. Or it could be something completely different.

 

I really hope we get to see O'Brien on Frontier Day.

 

Spoiler

Not really a spoiler, but one of the tracks is "Must Come to an End" which is the end of the 'All Good Things' proverb

 

Spoiler

Hopefully the stars is their version of TUC ending.

 

Spoiler: Soundtrack

betting it’s more “Names Mean Everything” but I’d be shocked if we didn’t get a sign off

 

OMG this actress of Sidney La Forge, man she's so so cute and adorable

 

Meh, that soundtrack listing doesn't have anything as glaringly obvious a spoiler like "Qui-Gon's Funeral" on the Phantom Menace soundtrack. And that was released two weeks before the movie.

Then again, so was the novelization.

 

Is it possible that Q returns somehow? Perhaps Picard and humanities trial never ended? Or did the trial really just fizzle out in season 2 when the Continuum collapsed back in on itself as represented on screen via Q’s perceived death?

TNG started with Q, ended as a series with Q, and now surely it must in some way conclude Picard’s story with Q? Even if it is just a cameo with Sombrero?

 

Going by the track listing I’m guessing we’ll finally hear

Spoiler

”Make it so” from Picard

which hasn’t happened at all so far in any of the seasons.

 

even worse, preceded by "Qui-Gon's Noble End"

 

We're only around 21-22 out of 45 with 60% of the episodes delivered. Cool to see there's a lot of new music still ahead of us.

 

I think Star Trek: Legacy is a given at this point. It feels like the groundswell for a Pike series after DSC S2, which it always felt they were setting up anyway.

SNW has been a big hit with fans and critics, so they'll take notice and act accordingly here.

 

SNW will have to carry it for a while.

 

SNW plus DSC, LDS, PRO, S31, SFA until LEG is ready.

 

I will not be holding my breath.

 

Well remember, in 2026, just 3 years from now, calling 1996 nostalgic in 2026 would be like calling 1966 nostalgic in 1996.

 

Memory Alpha abbreviates Short Treks as "ST" which, while consistent, is utterly stupid.

 

It is. Not quite "STD"-as-epithet stupid but pretty weak sauce.
