What are your guy's thoughts on the theme for Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973)?
I feel like:
- It almost sounds like the battle music for a Star Trek turn-based JRPG on the Nintendo DS.
- I feel like PRO's theme gives very similar vibes to this one while having a distinct identity.
- I almost feel like this theme is a weird in-between of the TOS theme and TNG-era theme (which makes perfect sense - I mean what else would be between the 60s and the 80s).

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.
I find it ever-so-slightly pompous with all the horns, but otherwise, a cool remix of the original theme.
(TNG theme, DS9 theme, VOY the, LD theme all gasp, offended.)
Well, if you're looking for absolute perfection in a ST theme, good luck. It's not like Mike Post or John Williams were writing these suckers.
That said, I thought Alexander Courage did a hell of a job on the original.
