If anything, Lower Decks has intentionally lifted some 7-note sequences from the TAS title theme.
The title theme for Lower Decks almost does a bait and switch riff of the TAS one.
Glad to have you. You should be warned though that this crew has already sucked in meme-lookers into watch the show and becoming fans.
As I was sucked in by the kid across the hall with a colour tv back in 1965, I can attest to the risk of wondering “What’s that pointy-eared guy doing with his hand on that monster?”
I couldn’t resist. Glad you appreciated it, and that new Neelix image is all the thanks I needed.
By the way, in the meantime, I have done some more research only to discover that there are in fact TWO Earth root vegetables that are already viable as hydroponic crops: red radishes and beets.
The idea that Leola root is a cross between radish and beet is now firmly fixed in my mind.
What about the option of the original black and white recording of ‘The Cage’ with the colour portions from ‘The Menagerie’ spliced in, as released to videotape in thr 80s?
That was the real Star Trek. Roddenberry even took it to cons in the 70s and 80s to let fans know what he really wanted to put on the air.
Cook in metric and use a scale!
