    Dayton clearly didn’t a good 80% of what makes up Star Trek. I like some aspect of every series, including Discovery. That some people miss that somehow, that’s not my fault.

    Ope, here's a detail I didn't notice before.
    In the title sequence version, the character faces are in the logo.

    Clearly it's some kind of booster.
    Could be slipstream, could be transwarp, could be any number of things.
    The warp field looks like the delta, so I'll call it "delta-warp" until they specify otherwise.

    :unsure:

    WAB is the least Trek bash-y fan on the board and hating on Voyager and Enterprise has been a pastime for all of Wordforge's existence. Didn't a bunch of folks here get a whole rumor started about Jolene Blalock quitting the show just to piss off fans? :lol:

    I thought TNG sounded the most like an adventure show. DS9 was a little too formless. VOY definitely had a nice sense of majesty to it.

    All these years of hindsight, I see what they were going for with DS9.
    DS9 can't fly, it's just this city in space.
    How do you make a city majestic?
    So, it's kinda like the music you get in a documentary on the Statue Of Liberty, or the Empire State Building.
    Like "oohh, ahhh, look at the big thing that doesn't move" kind of music.
    Like a helicopter flyover of New York, or Chicago.
    It works.

    It’s only been recently since I’ve been in media central as previously I didn’t trust myself not to insult someone and get banned. So, forgive me for not knowing the history of media central.

    Still, I’ve put up with enough bitching about stupid stuff in life. Discuss tv shows, movies, games, whatever, even dislike. But, I’ll definitely bitch about someone bitching just to be bitching.

    If you think WAB is bad, just do yourself a favor and block FF now. He's basically the 20's version of infamous ENT basher @Stewey :lol:

    Oh, for sure DS9 needed something slow and majestic.

    You can't put the TNG theme over DS9. That music requires a starship zooming around at Warp 9. It would just be weird.

    But the Voyager theme combines majesty with a structure that builds toward an easily recognizable climax. The DS9 theme just sort of putters around in circles without going anywhere.

    Like an Andrew Lloyd Webber song.

    TNG basically just repurposed Jerry Goldsmith's fanfare from ST:TMP.

    Other than ENT, it's the only Trek show that didn't have an original theme.

    I am saying ENT had an original theme, Archer's Theme, even if that played at the end of episodes.

    Archer's theme is all over the pilot.
    Raoul wins.
    Forever.
    I see no other path for you now but to become a serious cocaine addict.

    "Often" doesn't mean always. "Typically" doesn't mean that it can't be played at other times. It is a song that literally is called "Archer's Theme." Now if you want to argue that it is a theme for Archer and is somehow not "strongly associated with" Enterprise, whatevs.

    Counterpoint: there are two brass motifs that are heard in nearly every episode of TOS, but there's still only one title theme.

    That poster forces one to ask, can holo-Janeway leave the ship with a mobile emitter, or external projectors, or is that symbolic artistic license for the poster?
