Unfortunately we don’t have polls in lemmy. Nonetheless I’d love to hear from you: What’s your favourite Star Trek theme and/or your favourite scene with special (background) music?

For example: My favourite theme is TNG and my favourite scene is Cochrane’s warp speed flight in First Contact with Steppenwolf’s “Magic Carpet Ride”.

I’m partial to ENT and TNG, the first because it was novel and the second because it was my childhood Trek.

My favorite theme is definitely Deep Space Nine!

Favorite scene is a little harder though. I’ll probably have to go with the montage scene in the last DS9 episode, which had a slow instrumental medley of The Way You Look Tonight and the DS9 incidental music.

I also think the scene in DS9: The Siege of AR-558 where Bashir is playing the recording of I’ll Be Seeing You is really good too. It works even better on a rewatch after you see how important the song becomes to Nog.

DS9, but I also have a fondness for LD.

I gotta agree with Magic Carpet Ride, but otherwise, I enjoy that weird campy music Fear plays in VOY: The Thaw.

Favorite song? The OG’s opening.

But favorite intro altogether is the enterprise one.

Now I have the ahhh ahhh in my head again. I like the OG opening, but hate the choral part.

Every 60s show seems to be scored as though the camera could pan out any time and reveal whatever setting you thought you were in was in fact a black-tie ballroom party with a big band ensemble.
