Just watched the Undiscovered Country and enjoyed it. The conspiracy angle was interesting, although the second half of the film ended up in a race against time to shoot the baddies type ending.
Still a good one though, and David Warner was in it, which is always a sign that something is worth watching.
Snazzy.I had a busy weekend, and as I'm the proud owner of the limited edition 15-disc TOS soundtrack collection, it's time to relax with this excerpt. Totally useless points will be awarded to the first person to place the scene and episode.
Wasn't that in the episode where Kirk uses the Enterprise to ferry a troupe of actors around the place because he thinks one of them was Kodos the executioner. That music was playing in the background of a party he was at when he runs into the daughter of KodosI had a busy weekend, and as I'm the proud owner of the limited edition 15-disc TOS soundtrack collection, it's time to relax with this excerpt.

Here you go then.Which was me, even though I cheated, but you never said we couldn't cheat.
I demand satisfaction!
Yes. Roddenberry’s lyrics added nothing to the value of the music and were created for no reason other than to usurp half the composer’s performance royalties.Is it true Gene Roddenberry wrote never used lyrics to the instrumental ST theme to make sure he would get royalties every time it was played?

And those are the lyrics in the Project: Pimento recording above, so technically not "never used".Yes. Roddenberry’s lyrics added nothing to the value of the music and were created for no reason other than to usurp half the composer’s performance royalties.

As a kid, if I was out of the room and I heard that music, I'd always run in to have a look.The best Star Trek music is if course the fight music originally used in Amok Time.

I called it 'conflict music' and it was usually a signal that Kirk (or Spock) was fighting.
I regret nothing...
One reason I enjoy this board is the cultural clash. James Cromwell's character is completely comprehensible to an American - we've all met him, we may even have had him as a teacher in college. And he has great taste in music.Just seen Star Trek: First Contact, which I really enjoyed. Felt that the Borg Queen was an interesting baddie, although not at all the type I'd expect to be in charge of the Borg (which was probably the point).
James Cromwell's character was obviously supposed to be quirky, eccentric and amusing, but I just found him annoying.
I felt that there was one part that could have been done better though: when the alien lad pulls back his hood to reveal Vulcan ears, it's obviously supposed to be a big reveal, but by that point we've already seen Vulcanish robes, and a Vulcanny face, hairline and eyebrows. Better to have kept them in shadow till they get their ears out, in my opinion. I think that would have been more logical.
