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”.

First Contact main theme > all
- Indy ( @Indy@startrek.website ) English1•21 days ago
Agreed. I’d say that Nemesis theme with Blue Skies is a close second. “A New Ending”

Enterprise theme song is GOAT
I haven’t been awake long and can’t think of a specific scene with background music

It’s been a looong road…

I love it too! There are dozens of us!

I don’t really care about music, but my fiancee loves the SNW theme so much that whenever I’m rewatching the show without her, she’ll hear it, and come watch it with me, so that one

Voyager!

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.

Lower Decks is the best one of all the post kelvin Treks, for sure, but that might be because it’s borrowing so heavily from TNG/TMP.

I think that’s part of it. I do think they deserve some credit, though, for the way the note drops down at the end of each repetition of the main motif, mirroring how the Cerritos doesn’t have the same confidence as the Enterprise.
Also, while I don’t necessarily like the newer cinematic themes as much, I do respect the use of the Inner Light flute in the Picard theme. Also, although still not a top tier theme, Strange New Worlds’s theme is at least memorable, though probably in part because of its borrowings from the TOS theme. The Prodigy theme feels like a blend of cinematic, TAS, and TNG-style themes.

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.

My top intro music shows: TNG, VOY, DS9, DIS, SNW, LD
Honorable mention: ENT
Top movie theme: First Contact - CCMan1701A ( @CCMan1701A@startrek.website ) English3•20 days ago
Does the intro of Galaxy Quest count?
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) English2•21 days ago
TOS of course, will never skip it
- SeikoAlpinist ( @SeikoAlpinist@slrpnk.net ) English1•11 days ago
The theme to Star Trek IV. Underrated.
Also like the Klingon theme.

Favorite song? The OG’s opening.
But favorite intro altogether is the enterprise one.
- Indy ( @Indy@startrek.website ) English1•21 days ago
Now I have the ahhh ahhh in my head again. I like the OG opening, but hate the choral part.
- honc ( @honc@lemmy.ca ) English1•20 days ago
TNG is also my favourite theme, but my favourite scene with music is the flute song Picard plays for his son’s birth in “The Inner Light” (especially the reprise at the end with the real flute from the probe).
