#Notevember Day 30: How does the main theme capture the series ethos? ENT's "Faith of the Heart"
While the ENT theme can be divisive, I do like how its lyrics capture humanity's continued exploration of deep space & the wonders of discovery

DECEMBER is #Time2Trek, exploring time in #StarTrek!
So watch out for a chroniton particle flux of .003 or the remnants of the Temporal Cold War—it’s time to talk about time. (Because, of course, we have the time.)

So I recently watched 3 “bad” TNG eps with friends: Aquiel, Violations and Imaginary Friend.
I like the first 2; always have. I mean the costumes in both! 💚 Imaginary Friend was the only one I didn’t really enjoy but still it had great Guinan stuff.
They did not agree. What are your thoughts? 🖖🏽🤔

I just finished a rewatch of The Wrath of Khan. There are reasons it still echoes throughout the franchise as peak #StarTrek.
1. Universal character conflict: Kirk’s fear of aging, of becoming useless
2. Montalban’s searing, primal performance
3. Kirk’s renewal despite facing death
4. James Horner
