If anyone is reading this, I finally played this during the 2024 Solar Eclipse!!! It was extremely legendary to play this special occasion, for once in a lifetime. Thank you, and Live Long & Prosper. 🖖😆😁🤩🌞🌛
when I heard this during the Picard Season 3 credits, I may have had a bit of an allergy attack. I love this theme. And it was incredibly appropriate, especially for the official farewell to such a fantastic cast and storyline with the TNG crew. Thanks for having the same feels, my dude.
@@geronimo6323If Picard S3E10 is the last show they ever make with the TNG crew, I will be happy with that. It was the perfect sendoff and I would not want thar memory to be spoiled by a bad followup. The Last Jedi is a perfect example of what NOT to do.
I hope we get to see our own "First Contact" in this century before 2063, finally paving the way for Human Stellar Exploration and beyond using a fully equipped hyper-drive warp core starship like Cochrane did! 😀
That's why I love the horn section (as a clarinetist) in most old movies like Star Trek, they almost always reach that perfect frequency and it just sounds so soothing, beautiful, and clear to listen to. I love it!
@@HerrEllsworth I want to read the comments of with Patrick Stewart said that brought him back to Picard before you talk about what it is. He clearly stated that he did not want to do the Picard of the 1990s.
You sometimes have to wait a few years before making a "best" judgement. It's safe to say now that "First Contact" is the best of all the TNG film series.
Yeah! I remember it too. I was 14yo at the time. When I come back home I wasn't able to remove the grin from my face. My granddad saw me and said "certainly that movie was awesome"
"I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!" One of the best lines in the film.
More importantly is that afterwards, due to the mentioning of Moby Dick to him, he realizes the right course of action and overcomes his need for personal vengeance.
First Contact is often regarded as one of the best Star Trek movies and I think, among many things, the music score is one of the reasons. It was something that I was humming long after the movie was over and the theme is one that I still hum to this day, 25 years later. It’s so majestic, serene, melancholic all in one lol.
The part that is the music played when the Vulcans land and make first contact with Zefren Cochrane gives me a lump in my throat every time I hear it. It is so majestic and moving as it signifies the beginning of a whole new world.
I always feel that the music has a sense of longing, of hope for a brighter future worth fighting for. At least that is what it makes me feel when I hear it.
Brought tears to my eyes when hearing this at the end of S3E1 of ST:PICARD. Saw this in cinema when it came out. 25 years ago. Damn, how time flies by...
The part of the Anthem that is about the First Contact between Humans and Vulcans is extremely moving and inspiring. I always get emotional when I hear it.
One of my favourite movies ever. Maybe because it is the only one that happens on a date I will probably see and that made me think as a child that Star Trek was actually possible. Maybe because this theme is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I ever heard. Jerry Goldsmith was a legend, and this is where his son Joel started following his steps, which would lead him to making the soundtrack of Stargate SG1, one of my favourites too. May both rest in peace.
I was 11 years old back in 1996 when I saw this great Star Trek Movie with my late wonderful dad who was a OG Trekker with Star Trek (1966-1969) and I'm a Trekker since 1987 (Star Trek : The Next Generation 1987-1994) . Watching and loving Star Trek since I was 2( Star Trek : The Next Generation , Star Trek, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine(1993-1999)
Chief O'Brien this is the Captain... I order you to scan and isolate all humanoids who dislike this beautiful piece of music and beam them to the brig! Picard out!
@@quuaaarrrk8056 Archer's Theme (the Enterprise ending theme) is incredibly good though. There was actually a full-length version of it made, and there's a video on youtube that has it matched up perfectly to the opening credits.
Today is April 4, 2020 Almost 43 years before Star Trek First Contact with those pointy eared bastards the Vulcans, well I say more like the Dark Elves in Thor. Live Long and prosper. 🖖
We just have to hope. But be careful in the next decades, otherwise you might die in WW3. I can’t wait for being old and meeting these pointy eared Vulcans, I will try making some logical small talk with them.
IMO, Jerry Goldsmith's music for Star Trek is the definitive music of the franchise. Just like John Williams' is for Harry Potter. IDC if anyone thinks Horner's or Rosenman's or Giacchino's music is better, to me Goldsmith is the sound of Star Trek.
Gotta love how the film ends on that beautiful note with Earth having made first contact with others, and Zefram Cochrane introducing the Vulcans to tequila and rock n' roll, but they remain emotionless as ever. It gives us that amusing and endearing sense of how they have a LOT to learn about each other, but we can smile, knowing that all that will come in good time, and eventually, we'll achieve world peace and the founding of the Federation to establish greater peace and unity in the galaxy, all thanks to Cochrane's warp flight and that of the Enterprise, having saved their own future to return home.
Space....the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new lives and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before!!
It holds up pretty well, its not as dated as alot of late 90s sci-fi, its still pretty cinematic (it's one of the few star trek films with great cinematography), and has special effects that still hold up,
This is the best End Credits I've heard from Star Trek movie, which gives me hope for a brighter and STELLAR future, where one day Mankind will finally deep explore the stars. Looking forward be a part of that Journey. Space: the Final Frontier. 😂
yea this is one of the best scifi scores ever made and that's saying a great deal. one wonders just how prophetic this film is. it's obvious t o all but the insane or stupid that the present Earth socioeconomic system world wide is terminally broken. all that remains is for the fat lady to sing. the question is will anything of humanity worth surviving survive?
SuperTomcat105 Someone needs to compose a version of the theme with all the middle portions from all the Star Trek films composed by Goldsmith sandwiched in the middle....
I will always relate this as the First Contact theme "The Sovereign-class theme". The graceful tone of the piece blends well with the smooth design of the ship.

It will either be terrifying or a very interesting sight. In Star trek most alien species are humanoid, in our universe who knows what they will look like. Sentient machines or a large intelligent spider
It already happened. Trouble is the implications for our "way of life" is Earth shattering and that's why it is kept under wraps. Only bits and pieces are leaked to prepare the general public slowly.
Perfect way to make it original at the same time tie it in with the theme/series we all know and love. Now picture Jean-Luc turning to the camera and winking at the very end.
"Space. The Final Frontier, these are the voyage's of the starship Enterprise. It's continuing mission to explore strange new world's. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before." This every time I hear it and the theme song it brings tears to my eyes with hope that maybe one day humanity will mature enough to let go of corporate and economical interests and push back into Exploration and Science to better ourselves as a race and show just what we can do when we are civilized
When I hear the main theme, I envision one of our current space shuttles or probes entering the vastness of space and Voyager I and Voyager II really are on star treks of their own, although not at warp speed, because they have left our solar system. They are in interstellar space now. The first space shuttle was named Enterprise because of Star Trek fans petitioning to name it Enterprise. Enterprise has such a long tradition in ship names so it's only appropriate that real spaceships bear the great name Enterprise in addition to science fiction spaceships.
john tracy Funny thing is, the space shuttle Enterprise is the only shuttle that never went into space, because it was just a test version. The Star Trek people should have thought that one over twice.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.” -William Shakespeare What a season, and what a finale to our beloved crew. Here's to Picard, and those who sailed with him.
This has to be the most awe inspiring , spine tingling, emotional piece of music created, definitely the best of all the Star Trek tunes, and is the theme my personal favourite Star Trek film.
Imagine a possible crossover movie ending like this. The young crew of Enterprise-A say their goodbyes to the TNG crew on board Enterprise-E, Spock and then Ambassador Jean Luc-Picard have one last private conversation, as Kirk watches from afar. Spock asks the former captain what he knew of his older Prime counterpart, who had passed away in their own timeline. Picard said that he was one of the greatest men, or Vulcan that he had ever known, and that the young Spock has a great legacy to live up to. Picard also reveals that Spock Prime had mind melded with him, sharing his thoughts and memories with his fellow Starfleet officer. When asked what he saw, Picard simply extended his hand and asked the young Vulcan to see for himself. Hesitantly, Spock puts his hand to Picard's head, and is flooded with visions and memories of his predecessor's life. From his childhood on Vulcan, to his graduation from Starfleet Academy, and of course, his adventures on board the Enterprise. Eventually culminating to his sacrifice to save the Enterprise from destruction at the hands of Khan. As an older Kirk watches his closest friend die from radiation exposure, he reveals his true feelings to the captain, saying "I have been, and always shall be, your friend. Live long, and prosper." before passing on. Spock recoils at the sight of this, but at the same time, remembers the shockingly similar circumstances that befell him and Kirk years before, only they were reversed. He now realizes what Spock Prime meant by "At great cost." As well as the bond between himself and Kirk, how they were always meant to be. More than just friends, but brothers. Picard puts a hand on Spock's shoulder, telling him to cherish each and every moment with Kirk as if they would be his last. For the day would come that one of them would have to make the ultimate sacrifice. They walk out into the hall, with Kirk standing eagerly, smiles abroad. Kirk asks his comrade what Picard showed him, only for him to reply, "Just what information was required, Captain." As they walk to the transporter room. As both men stand on the pad, they turn to Picard, who thanks them for ensuring a future for humanity. Kirk reassures him that it is Picard's crew who should have the credit, as it was they who traveled back to the past to stop the Borg. Picard chuckles, saying that it wasn't the first time. Kirk then nods to Spock telling him that he will stay behind for a minute to have a word with Picard, saying that they will meet again on the bridge of their own ship. "I understand, Captain." Spock agrees. He flips open his communicator and says, "Mr. Scott, do you read?" "Aye, Commander Spock, I hear ya. Shall I fire the ole gal up?" "That is affirmative lieutenant, one to beam up, energize." Spock and Picard deliver a Vulcan salute as he is beamed back aboard Enterprise-A. Kirk tells Picard that going back in time to change the past was cheating, mirroring the very words he spoke to Spock Prime. Picard laughs, reminding him that he himself is no stranger to breaking the rules. Kirk asks him where he goes from there, Picard tells him that during his career as captain of the Enterprise, he learned the all important truth, the sky's the limit. He tells Kirk to live life to the fullest, no matter what comes his way, and to know that deep down, his crew is his true family. Pondering the future ahead, Kirk is interrupted by Scotty, "Oy, Jim! Ye gonna stay there fer a pint or are we leaving without a captain ye daft bastard?!" Smiling, Kirk delivers a Vulcan salute of his own to his future successor, proclaiming, "Live long, and prosper." Picard returns his salute. Kirk responds to his communicator, "Beam me up, Scotty." As he is enveloped in transporter energy, and fades away, leaving Picard, smiling. Continued in part 2...
One of my favorite scores of all the Star Trek movies, memorable, emotional, poignant and thrilling. It is Jerry Goldsmith at his very best for sure. Sometimes I will just let it play in its entirety because I love it so much! I loved Star Trek: First Contact and have probably viewed it over 30 times as it really was the next gen crew in there prime and at there very best!
I can't wait to introduce all this to my daughters at 4-5. I honestly think there is nothing more inspiring to an introvert than Star Trek and what it represents. Think about it; a quiet, shy, contemplative child's dreams nurtured by unbelievable ideas out side the box, ideas that have no place in society, but are very real and very possible. It becomes the drive that is relatively out of place in such a monotonous chaotic world. Fascinating....big ideas and higher sensibilities of a fictional future can shock a little brain or help it with its own confusions amongst the standard noise of the status quo. I still watch star trek to feel intense comfort to this day. Those crews honestly feel like family to me. When Picard says "Oh yes, I know you" I choke up everytime. I hope I get to say that to my daughters one day when they feel alone or not understood. I hope they feel wonder and awareness as Daddy does everyday and make the world I dreamt of real or at least push us closer to it.
They wouldn't want me as a Federation Captain.....Well, not until MUCH later on....'Cause this is me: Captain of a Sovereign [favourite class of ship]: *Doing everything by the books, then spots a Cube* Right, notify those people at Starfleet, FIRE!! FIRE EVERYTHING!! ???: Even the Me: YES! EVEN THE KITCHEN SINK! =p
If anyone is reading this, I finally played this during the 2024 Solar Eclipse!!! It was extremely legendary to play this special occasion, for once in a lifetime. Thank you, and Live Long & Prosper. 🖖😆😁🤩🌞🌛
It makes me happy that the ending of Picard Season 3 uses this theme
when I heard this during the Picard Season 3 credits, I may have had a bit of an allergy attack. I love this theme. And it was incredibly appropriate, especially for the official farewell to such a fantastic cast and storyline with the TNG crew. Thanks for having the same feels, my dude.
Picard Season 3 was the best season !
I believe that will now be a farewell to the TNG crew forever. I guess we'll never see her again.
@tsaimaster1 right with you there. It was the whole range of emotions. They really nailed it
Agreed! Someone cares at last.
@@geronimo6323If Picard S3E10 is the last show they ever make with the TNG crew, I will be happy with that. It was the perfect sendoff and I would not want thar memory to be spoiled by a bad followup. The Last Jedi is a perfect example of what NOT to do.
This song feels like an anthem for humanity. Like it's rooting us on.
I once read a review of the movie and the reviewer called it a "hymn."
An apt description. 👌
It is cause Star Trek his our true history
and what have we done since then? Among other things, made a contrived show about old man Picard; how unfulfilling.
Yeah we humans rule xD
I'm a grown man... and this music makes me cry.
Hope for the future thats why
Same here
No shame, brother.
I thought it was just me, and I don't even know why...
Especially when it gets to the First Contact theme. So hopeful.
1:38 For the finest theme in Star Trek movie history
I am not crying, there is something in my eye. They don't make movies like these anymore.
Man that French Horn just hits the right frequency. I feel so nostalgic of the 90's Star Trek.
I hope we get to see our own "First Contact" in this century before 2063, finally paving the way for Human Stellar Exploration and beyond using a fully equipped hyper-drive warp core starship like Cochrane did!

Brian Edward bang on. I could watch it over and over
There´s no question about this!
Honestly, I'd even place First Contact on top of Wrath of Khan.
It's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
I would say that Star Trek 4 and First Contact are tied for best Star Trek film ever.
1:20 - 4:05 Ladies and gentleman. Please stand for the United Federation of Planet's Anthem.
Goosebumps every time.
Excellent choice
But I think this track will suit for the anthem of the Federation : 0:23 - 1:16
@@HarishKumar-nw3yl That's the anthem of Star Trek: The Next Generation and subsequent iteration/reboot based upon it 🖖🖖
Saw this film in the cinema back in 96 and i can still -remember- *feel* it.
I wish I could go back so much.
Yeah! I remember it too.
I was 14yo at the time.
When I come back home I wasn't able to remove the grin from my face.

+Arizona Paul You forgot Gladiators, also maybe Pearl Harbor.
You also forgot The Postman, whatever you think of the movie, the soundtrack is amazing.

First Contact + TNG theme ending means one thing "ST: Picard Season 3" is basically "Star Trek: TNG Season 8" 😉
I agree. Wasn't S3 of Picard just something Spectacular? I mean, they just Hit it Outta the Park with S3 :)
That horn solo
Amazingly Powerful!!
Did you mean that "Han Solo?" Because if so, you're in the wrong place....
Eh, not really. The Millennium Falcon is in this movie
this theme is just beautiful.
It is very majestic
I always like the part when the main theme creeps back in
Oh yea, its great in all the sound tracks. But it's really good in this one.
I wish it would stay just like John William's Star Wars March
Same.
Agreed
Goosebumps
The part of the Anthem that is about the First Contact between Humans and Vulcans is extremely moving and inspiring. I always get emotional when I hear it.
1:38 through 4:05 : shut up. i'm not crying. you're crying!
This is, in my opinion, without a doubt the best score and movie yet

Borg Queen dislikes this.
... and several Borg drones.
Resistance was futile.

Absolutely no question the most beautiful Start Trek piece of music ever.
IMO, Jerry Goldsmith's music for Star Trek is the definitive music of the franchise. Just like John Williams' is for Harry Potter. IDC if anyone thinks Horner's or Rosenman's or Giacchino's music is better, to me Goldsmith is the sound of Star Trek.
ChuckRazor Courage's original theme is the definitive musical motif of Star Trek, but this is a damn good piece regardless
psychopiano Only the fanfare continues on, and the rest are just plain 60's style music with a woman's soprano.
If this music was in TOS I would watch it 5 or more times again. I like Kirk and Spock... Beam me up Scotty :)
i agree totally!!
They all sound great in their own unique ways
"WE'RE NOT GOING TO LOSE THE ENTERPRISE! NOT TO THE BORG, NOT WHILE IM IN COMMAND!"
That would have rallied me!

Moving music. You can feel the spirit and energy of how epic and vast the story is. How first contact changed humanity for the better.
This is quite simlly the most beautiful theme dreamt up by Gerry Goldsmith. It brings goosebumps every time I hear it.
I haven't seen all of the original Startrek movies but so far this is my absolute favorite, and not just for the awe inspiring music.

thanks....
Somehow the Federation manged to survive the Jem'hadar the Dominion and the Borg and this theme proves it.
I remember being obsessed with this soundtrack back in the day... It is, after all, the score of the last great Trek film.
The greatest Star Trek theme in the greatest Star Trek movie. How can you not love this movie and this soundtrack? You dont even have to be Trekkie
First Contact is my favority movie. Nemesis too
That's rare to see someone who likes Nemesis! I like that one too, just as any other ST Film (apart from the newer ones)
I will always relate this as the First Contact theme "The Sovereign-class theme". The graceful tone of the piece blends well with the smooth design of the ship.

They are in interstellar space now. The first space shuttle was named Enterprise because of Star Trek fans petitioning to name it Enterprise. Enterprise has such a long tradition in ship names so it's only appropriate that real spaceships bear the great name Enterprise in addition to science fiction spaceships.
You are absolutely right John! And I hope one day a ship would bear the name of "Roddenberry" :)
yea there should be a ship called Roddenberry lol
john tracy Funny thing is, the space shuttle Enterprise is the only shuttle that never went into space, because it was just a test version. The Star Trek people should have thought that one over twice.
@@cooper_s still an honor.
@@cooper_s It was the first of a frontier. That's everything Star Trek is about.
Man...that shot of the enterprise going to warp at the end and this music kicking in. Best Star Trek movie ever.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
-William Shakespeare
What a season, and what a finale to our beloved crew.
Here's to Picard, and those who sailed with him.
Always amazing to listen to ...
This has to be the most awe inspiring , spine tingling, emotional piece of music created, definitely the best of all the Star Trek tunes, and is the theme my personal favourite Star Trek film.
The best Star Trek film!
Happy First Contact Day 2023! Only 40 years to go! 🎉 🖖
I've heard so many different renditions of this ST Motion Picture theme over the decades, this is the best 😊❤️👍
Imagine a possible crossover movie ending like this. The young crew of Enterprise-A say their goodbyes to the TNG crew on board Enterprise-E, Spock and then Ambassador Jean Luc-Picard have one last private conversation, as Kirk watches from afar. Spock asks the former captain what he knew of his older Prime counterpart, who had passed away in their own timeline. Picard said that he was one of the greatest men, or Vulcan that he had ever known, and that the young Spock has a great legacy to live up to. Picard also reveals that Spock Prime had mind melded with him, sharing his thoughts and memories with his fellow Starfleet officer. When asked what he saw, Picard simply extended his hand and asked the young Vulcan to see for himself. Hesitantly, Spock puts his hand to Picard's head, and is flooded with visions and memories of his predecessor's life. From his childhood on Vulcan, to his graduation from Starfleet Academy, and of course, his adventures on board the Enterprise. Eventually culminating to his sacrifice to save the Enterprise from destruction at the hands of Khan. As an older Kirk watches his closest friend die from radiation exposure, he reveals his true feelings to the captain, saying "I have been, and always shall be, your friend. Live long, and prosper." before passing on. Spock recoils at the sight of this, but at the same time, remembers the shockingly similar circumstances that befell him and Kirk years before, only they were reversed. He now realizes what Spock Prime meant by "At great cost." As well as the bond between himself and Kirk, how they were always meant to be. More than just friends, but brothers. Picard puts a hand on Spock's shoulder, telling him to cherish each and every moment with Kirk as if they would be his last. For the day would come that one of them would have to make the ultimate sacrifice. They walk out into the hall, with Kirk standing eagerly, smiles abroad. Kirk asks his comrade what Picard showed him, only for him to reply, "Just what information was required, Captain." As they walk to the transporter room. As both men stand on the pad, they turn to Picard, who thanks them for ensuring a future for humanity. Kirk reassures him that it is Picard's crew who should have the credit, as it was they who traveled back to the past to stop the Borg. Picard chuckles, saying that it wasn't the first time. Kirk then nods to Spock telling him that he will stay behind for a minute to have a word with Picard, saying that they will meet again on the bridge of their own ship. "I understand, Captain." Spock agrees. He flips open his communicator and says, "Mr. Scott, do you read?" "Aye, Commander Spock, I hear ya. Shall I fire the ole gal up?" "That is affirmative lieutenant, one to beam up, energize." Spock and Picard deliver a Vulcan salute as he is beamed back aboard Enterprise-A. Kirk tells Picard that going back in time to change the past was cheating, mirroring the very words he spoke to Spock Prime. Picard laughs, reminding him that he himself is no stranger to breaking the rules. Kirk asks him where he goes from there, Picard tells him that during his career as captain of the Enterprise, he learned the all important truth, the sky's the limit. He tells Kirk to live life to the fullest, no matter what comes his way, and to know that deep down, his crew is his true family. Pondering the future ahead, Kirk is interrupted by Scotty, "Oy, Jim! Ye gonna stay there fer a pint or are we leaving without a captain ye daft bastard?!" Smiling, Kirk delivers a Vulcan salute of his own to his future successor, proclaiming, "Live long, and prosper." Picard returns his salute. Kirk responds to his communicator, "Beam me up, Scotty." As he is enveloped in transporter energy, and fades away, leaving Picard, smiling. Continued in part 2...
The feels... Every goddamn time ;-;
1:20-3:57 It was sad to hear this on the Blu-Ray special feature of the closing day for Star Trek The Experience.😢😢😢😭😭😭🖖🏻
A Jonathan Frakes Film
One of my favorite scores of all the Star Trek movies, memorable, emotional, poignant and thrilling.
It is Jerry Goldsmith at his very best for sure. Sometimes I will just let it play in its entirety because I love it so much!
I loved Star Trek: First Contact and have probably viewed it over 30 times as it really was the next gen crew in there prime and at there very best!
It's almost as if Jerry Goldsmith said "let me show you what you should have been listening to for 7 years on TV..."
I wonder when Gene wanted him to compose TOS, he would have used this theme
I forgot how nice that sounded Jerry knew wat he was doing.
Live long and prosper
So say we all!!
Live long and prosper.
Edited the First Contact part of this theme for our wedding march down the aisle 26 years ago ❤❤
My country it's small but we have the big fan of STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION and the 8 series movie saga.
4:12 - Goosebumps, all of them!!
Fingers crossed a variation of this theme will be featured in the upcoming 'Picard' series - perhaps in its end credits.
one of the best sci-fis I've ever seen.
the soundtrack is one the best 100 thememusics of all time.
I can't wait to introduce all this to my daughters at 4-5. I honestly think there is nothing more inspiring to an introvert than Star Trek and what it represents. Think about it; a quiet, shy, contemplative child's dreams nurtured by unbelievable ideas out side the box, ideas that have no place in society, but are very real and very possible. It becomes the drive that is relatively out of place in such a monotonous chaotic world. Fascinating....big ideas and higher sensibilities of a fictional future can shock a little brain or help it with its own confusions amongst the standard noise of the status quo. I still watch star trek to feel intense comfort to this day. Those crews honestly feel like family to me. When Picard says "Oh yes, I know you" I choke up everytime. I hope I get to say that to my daughters one day when they feel alone or not understood. I hope they feel wonder and awareness as Daddy does everyday and make the world I dreamt of real or at least push us closer to it.
Sounds like your little ones will be greatly inspired by their dad.
😍Star trek music is something like this you can Feel from this music
You can never get too much of the Enterprise E 🧏🏾♂️🙎🏾♂️
They wouldn't want me as a Federation Captain.....Well, not until MUCH later on....'Cause this is me:

???: Even the
Me: YES! EVEN THE KITCHEN SINK!

VIDEOGAMEPIONEER Nice :)
If its stupid but it works it aint stupid and Starfleet have done a lot of stupid that worked.

"FIRE EVERYTHING AND IF IT'S NOT DEAD THEN STRAP EXPLOSIVES ONTO WHATEVER YOU CAN FIND AND LAUNCH THAT!!"
Thank you Jerry Goldsmith
When I hear this I see, in my mind's eye, tall masted ships cresting the horizon into a sunrise.
Easily my favorite of the Next Generation films and the music is amazing as always.
Still listening: Oct 12 2021. Crying
