I didn't like the movie (in case you didn't read my review of it) and if there was anything good about it I guess it was the theme, which later went on to be selected, almost note for note, as the theme for the new series. But I will always think of TNG when I hear this music, and for those who care, I prefer the slightly longer version, where they hold the note on the next-to-last bar, you know the one. But if nothing else, film aside, this was after all the music that heralded the return to the small screen of my childhood favourite TV show, and so it was a big thing and will always remain one of my favourites. One of the best things Jerry Goldsmith ever did.
