Every Star Trek theme is great. Except one. You know which one.
It appears that you lack faith of the heart, my dear doctor.
What I’m getting from there to here is that this thread is about to go down a long road…
Look, it’s just gonna take a bit to get from there to here.
The version of the TOS theme with lyrics?
Okay, two.
The Enterprise theme actually played over the end credits - was called “Archer’s Theme”
Of course. DS9 season 1-3.
I actually preferred the original theme. The increased tempo of the second theme bugs me.
For me the Prodigy and Lower Decks theme songs are among the best in the franchise because they’re versatile. You can have a slow, tender violin motif from the LD theme such as when Tendi was telling Mariner that the Beta shifters were her family at the end of season 2. A slightly different part gets a brassy remix as the swelling Crisis Point theme music for the Cerritos.
Not all Trek melodies do this. Voyager’s got a lovely melody that feels appropriate for a grand trip homeward, but they tried using it at some big plot moments and it just felt wrong. Disco and TNG have the opposite problem where their themes are CONSTANT INTENSITY, so you don’t often see them used in softer moments. (The latter is very weird to me considering we have heard softer variations of the theme, maybe I just can’t think of any such uses in the series offhand).
Honestly, I think everything about lower decks slaps. It’s felt much more like Star Trek than some of the newer shows that when it came out I was hooked instantly.
SNW theme goes hardest imo
