I swallow in a dry throat and tell you it involves a mostly arid world and the trade in an age- and conscousness-enhancing drug.

if you mean the prokofiev stuff, i tried it and had a blast. scary how accurate it was in places. thanks!

for a real hoot, try herb albert and the tijuana brass’s ‘theme to casino royale’ over the same scene… although that score works over about anything.

final warning for your language and attitude. if you cant be civil here, i am sure there is another website out there more suited for your tastes

Copland? That Sylvester Stallone Copland scored by Howard Shore?

Sorry, but that’s bullshit, and you know it.

Yeah. The TNG crew generally were TV actors and characters through and through. Thing is, there’s nothing wrong with that as long as they stay on TV. It’s wrong for people to think of cinema as a ’superior’ medium to TV. It’s just different. The original Star Trek characters could make the crossover. The TNG ones couldn’t. It’s not the actors’ fault. it’s just that TNG works better as a TV show.

TNG should have been like other ‘proper’ ensemble shows and had a more fluid cast. It could easily have run 14 years had they done that. After five years, Picard and Worf could have left for DS9 and after seven, the Enterprise-D could have been destroyed. Face it, Riker had become a proper captain by the end of The Best of Both Worlds. After that, it was pointless having him around as a first officer! Had they kept TNG running, we could have seen the Dominion War from both the Enterprise-E’s and DS9’s point of view!

For a laugh, though, try running the ice battle music from Alexander Nevsky against the battle in the Mutara Nebula scene in TWOK! Cut for cut, beat for beat, it fits rather well! :)

i suppose i was too busy cringing through FC to notice. not a bad film, but nemesis was already in there, incubating, waiting to happen. i never found a crew less interesting or more contrived than film era TNG. but that’s off topic…

I’d agree that the later Goldsmith pieces did get somewhat less interesting .. Nemesis was perhaps his worst works. But Certainly ST:TMP, and ST:V are amazing works.

I wish they had Joel Goldsmith do Star Trek .. he certainly earned the right to do it.

would have been also wonderful to have John williams do it .. then it REALLY would have been ‘old school’. Instead of the ‘crash, bang, whallop .. oh it’s the sad moment .. whallop, bang’ .. that Giacchino gave us.

Who is this hack you refer to and the writer whose legacy is being destroyed?
