What are your opinions regarding Star Trek that are, shall we say, unorthodox?
If it relies on specific set of circumstances, though (e.g. the Federation's known relationship with a particular power, which is different in different era), I suppose you could just change the species. Having the Federation be a third party observing/mediating between two other parties whose current relationship mirrors the Federation's earlier/later relationship with a fourth party wouldn't be quite the same story, though the Federation parallel could be compared to it.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. However, I also thought it sounded a little too much like Rosenman's score for Ralph Bakshi's "Lord of the Rings".
It's the score that sounds the most like a TOS score. If I had to compare it to a TOS composer it would probably be Duning.
It just doesn't sound anything like Goldsmith or Horner.
The so called "purists" have it backwards. It sounds like old school. It DOESN'T sound like the new kids!
Oh, and the music when the Enterprise leaves spacedock is the single best interpretation of the TOS theme ever.
I prefer the 09 soundtrack if I pick one at all
"Let's see what she's got!"
Maybe this is more just headcanon, but...
Every starship bridge viewscreen, from NX-01 to the Enteprise-G, has been a window with holographic displays on it (except MAYBE the Enterprise-E and only then in First Contact, where the bridge seems to have a blank wall up front). At the very least, the "window at the front of the bridge" tradition began with the TOS ship in "The Cage" (you can even see a square light on the front of the bridge dome as the camera zooms in through the ceiling, which I also feel is totally transparent and you can see the stars through from inside) and carries through the movies and into the early 24th century (on the refit Enterprise, I could show you where the bridge window is, as well as two other windows on the bridge dome, port and starboard, which I pretend are unseen offices for the Captain and Exec Officer on either side of the bridge). A case MIGHT be made that the 24th century bridge viewers were just big TV monitors, but that's just so incredibly boring. LOL

Unfortunately, the overuse of the "Enterprising Young Men" theme throughout the first two movies really wears out that particular tune. Beyond did a better job having some musical variety in it.
I was REALLY hoping they'd have a dark version of the theme in Into Darkness, especially after the awesome piano theme at the start.
I would have liked a mishmash of the 3 nacelle / ring design with the forward facing portion of the NX-01 Enterprise we know and love. It would have made sense that early Starfleet would follow Vulcan design inspiration.
Enterprising Young Men is my favorite. Never get tired of it.
Or quite the opposite depending on how prevalent the Vulcans-have-held-us-back philosophy was among the designers.

I thought I'd try and show some images that come from an rpg me and a few others create on a virtual world. Mostly it's interactive storytelling set a couple of decades after first contact when humanity is really first getting into the stars. For this post I'll try not to show characters and...

Maybe it would be interesting if the Vulcans forced Earth to make their first Warp 5 mission on a scaled down Vulcan ship with limited technology, rather than their own vessels.
Earth didn't like Vulcan enough to put a ring on it.
SNW producers be like, "Hey, I like that top one."

the starship equivalent of the Thunderscreech. But I kind of like the idea of early human startships being kludges where they just hadn't figured out what worked best. The closest we got in ENT were maybe the ECS ships.
I have something uglier. Poor Mossie
