What are your opinions regarding Star Trek that are, shall we say, unorthodox?

[CorporalCaptain]

TOS s2 original mix.
I dig TAS, though.
I like DS9, but the later orchestration is better.
LDS is alright.

With TNG, I could never get over it being a splice of two other themes.

 

[Finn]

Maybe this is unorthodox: I skip almost all opening themes in Star Trek.

Not sure "unorthodox" is the right word for this.

Unusual?

Probably lots of people skip the credits after having seen them so many times.

Depends on my mood and available time.

What BillJ said. I do skip those things, when they become repetitive especially when many of us here have been watching Trek for decades.

And whether they had the faith of the heart

The opening bells of TOS used to put me in a state of ecstatic rapture. At least until they ruined the sound mix with that awful dissonance.

That is not what I usually hear so that's why I said what I did

I do have to skip the Enterprise credits when watching with Amy. She can’t stand how they pronounce “strength” in the lyrics.

I guess not everyone can afford to hurl a vase into the TV on a daily basis, eh?

I don't see what's wrong with it.

Doesn’t really matter since I’m not watching it with you.

Watson mangles the word and my wife is deep into the English language. Got a master’s degree in it.

I'm not hearing the mangling, maybe I'm listening to the wrong version.

I also have passing familiarity with the English language.

He pronounces it without the ‘g’, at least in season four. I can hear it if I’m paying attention, but don’t much care.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

There's no "g". Yeah, it's a total misfire.

 

[Set Harth]

If it changes by season maybe i really did hear the wrong version.

 

[BillJ]

I don’t throw stones because we all have dumb things that get under our skin.

 

[Set Harth]

There's no "g".

Well, of course. Space is a zero-g environment!

Truly. Also, glass houses!
