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”.

TOS of course, will never skip it
Anything but Enterprise.
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.
Voyager!
Does the intro of Galaxy Quest count?
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.
It isn’t a main theme, but my favourite cue is Ilia’s Theme. So sweeping and majestic.
I like the opening credits theme to Star Trek IV. In fact that whole movie had a great soundtrack, including the fake punk rock song titled “I Hate You.”
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).
Enterprise theme song is GOAT
I haven’t been awake long and can’t think of a specific scene with background music
I love it too! There are dozens of us!
It’s been a looong road…
… getting from there to here…
First Contact main theme > all
Agreed. I’d say that Nemesis theme with Blue Skies is a close second. “A New Ending”
It’s quite a lovely piece. Which is completely incongruous with the tone of the film.
Wrath of Khan. It is objectively superior. All others kneel before the superior intellect!
Spock’s theme is perfect. Epilogue is insane.
My top intro music shows: TNG, VOY, DS9, DIS, SNW, LD
Honorable mention: ENT
Top movie theme: First ContactI 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
I’m partial to ENT and TNG, the first because it was novel and the second because it was my childhood Trek.
