My Weekly Spock –Play it again, Spock

I always loved when we’d see a glimpse of Spock with his lyre.  It would be nice to see him with it in the next movie.  (But wait, that would mean a moment of quiet meditation and you can’t have that in a blockbuster action picture!)  Anyway, here’s Spock at his best musical self…

Sweetest scene ever!

A scene sadly cut from the original series. From Elaan of Troyus.

This always made me cringe…

The Platonians were sadists, but it was nice of them to think of Spock’s musical side…

#34 — “Amok Time”

At last, I create one of my favorite episodes in movie poster form! Some of you may wonder why I didn’t post Amok Time first in my posters for Season II; the reason is I create my posters in the order of episode production, not the order they were first aired.  I believe this gives the viewer a better idea of how the series developed over its three seasons.  This (and Journey to Babel) were the apex of the second season; after these the writing was a bit uneven and we all know what happened in Season III…  Note the Vulcan wind chime motif I used here.  Enjoy. 🙂

Wideo Wednesday 5/22/13 Some Darn Fine Trek Music

I got to listening to some of the Trek soundtracks and these are among my favorites. Soaring, majestic,  sad, introspective, romantic,  nerve-wracking, triumphant. In other words, everything a great score should be! I’m so happy to see that the Abrams reboots have carried on this tradition of excellent music.

Picnic– From The Cage  (I can hear Pike saying “Tango! You old devil!”)

Technically this is Ruth’s Theme from Shore Leave, but to me it’s always Leila saying goodbye in This Side of Paradise

A splendid tribute to every episode by Lawrence Whitehurst , with a great orchestration of the Original Theme by Alexander Courage:

“Enterprising Young Men” (2009 Theme) (I love this, it is so exhilarating)

Ilia’s Theme “There’s a star beyond time” (ST:TMP) (Truly sublime)

Closing theme from Star Trek (2009) (and everything old is new again)
