TV-Commentary - Star Trek Enterprise
How bad is the incidental music?
For everyone who's seen Classic Star Trek and the new Enterprise series, everyone raise their hands who remembers the classic incidental music from "The Gamesters of Triaskellon" when Kirk was fighting three drill thralls at once. Hands raised? Now lower your hands if you can mentally recall a single theme of incidental music from Enterprise (not counting the awful title theme).

If you're honest, you didn't lower your hand. Enterprise has virtually non-memorable incidental music, a trend that started with the Next Generation. Incidental music is important to help build tension, but perhaps because Enterprise almost never builds tension, with dull, bland, plodding episodes, it sort of makes sense that the incidental music would be equally bland. Can you imagine watching "Gamesters" with some incidental music from Enterprise?

There should be a Jericho thread here. True, that CBS series got cancelled but so what. To be honest I am glad its gone. Was great Season 1 but It just got silly with the political nonsense of making Kansas look like I-rack.

the starting theme for eterprise is not awfull is a good song


       CaliforniaDrysdale posts on 11/14/2006 4:47:54 AM

amen to that...i haven't even seen enterprise, but as you said, this trend goes back to the next generation. star trek had great music, as did numerous shows of the 60s.


       The commentator Rand : Licensed Eccentric posts on 11/4/2006 9:58:41 PM

Porthos, I'd still kind of like to see unknown actors take over the roles. I also wonder if they'll use the orginal sets or build new ones. I mean the bridge is a sci-fi classic, I'd hate to see them change it too much. Take Care.


       The commentator Porthos, Proud American posts on 11/4/2006 6:16:24 AM

Gary Sinese always reminded me of Bones, and Kyle Machlachlan or Charlie Sheen with brown hair would be a good Kirk


       The commentator Rand : Licensed Eccentric posts on 11/4/2006 2:44:54 AM

You know, I'm southern, and slightly eccentric. How about a slightly younger, slightly heavier, silver haired McCoy? How this? "He's dead, Jim." "That green blooded sob, it's his revenge for all those arguments he lost." Maybe they can even cgi my face to make me less ugly. Take Care.

love your ideas on finding new cast members.would be great to see what the studio comes up with huh?


       The commentator Rand : Licensed Eccentric posts on 11/2/2006 10:54:57 PM

I've been thinking about who should replace the original Trek cast in a new series and have an idea. Since Kirk is supposed to be from Iowa, the producers should select and unknown actor from Iowa. Also, they should go south to find the new McCoy, to Scotland for the new Scottie. And get a real Russian as Chekov, a real African for Uhura and so on. As for Spock, the closest thing we actually have to another planet is California, but I believe we can find a few strange characters out there. Take Care.


       The socially inept redwarrior posts on 11/1/2006 1:49:45 AM

what does the music have to do with the show???????????just put one back on . thats all i ask!


       The commentator Porthos, Proud American posts on 10/31/2006 11:06:19 PM

Affleck as Kirk would be the only thing worse than the Starbuck of GINO.


       The commentator Rand : Licensed Eccentric posts on 10/31/2006 10:17:15 PM

If they give the role of Capt. Kirk to Ben Affleck I will NEVER watch another Trek movie or series.


       The very well respected commentator toddk posts on 10/27/2006 3:51:03 PM

Paramount still wants to follow the evil leporachan into the past- He says there is gold and diamonds there!! you do believe me dont you mom?


       The commentator Porthos, Proud American posts on 10/27/2006 4:44:44 AM

Enterprises theme song was gayer than a dozen clones of Jim J Bullock. It was swimming in it's own gay. Even made it's own gay-ravy.


       The socially inept redwarrior posts on 10/27/2006 3:50:17 AM

i happen to like the opening song to Enterprise. each Star-Trek had their own version so give it a rest champ okay?????? i wish they hadnt canceled it myself.they need some new kind of star-trek show on.


       The commentator Val Tyler posts on 10/25/2006 10:41:45 AM

I know someone who is a brilliant guitarist, songwriter etc. who has dedication to music and is absolutely brilliant at creating atmosphere, he used to play with Dave Murray from iron maiden in the kitchen, now years later and after attempting a thousand other things in life wants only to create music. can you help here? Let thereal talent of rock speak and sing to you. Val T.


       posts on 7/12/2006 9:53:10 PM

the best soundtrack to any sci-fi series ever is the original and only battlestar galactica by stu phillips. airwolf had a pretty catchy soundtrack also. take care.


       posts on 7/11/2006 4:11:04 PM

Man, I can't even remember Space: 1999! I watched it, but I was too little to remember the theme music.


       posts on 7/11/2006 12:17:03 PM

some of the best incidental music ive heard (apart from star trek tos)is from space 1999 series 2.


       posts on 7/11/2006 2:30:27 AM

well to tell you honestly, all of the incidental music in the original series was not silly and was always meant to be there. However on the next generation's the best of both worlds part one when riker says fire to be the only scene I can recall the music being memorable. Thanks


       posts on 7/10/2006 9:57:46 PM

Sorry to keep nagging on BSG but it's totally bugging me lately. What can I say? I need more of a life! To make a case in point for rand: check out the intro music for the classic BSG. It's fantastic. Then listen to the new garbage for the new BSG. Oh, and ENTERPRISE FAN, love your lyrics!
