/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It so reminds me of Rod Stewart "Sailing", Which was used for a TV show in the late 70's. I hated that song more than 40 years ago and I still do, and I hate the theme song to Enterprise sounding like something from the 70's. It seemed to me everything about Enterprise was to make humanity seem backwards and primitive but in a future SciFi setting. Like when one of the first episodes, they are totally surprised that bacteria can contaminate a planet. Something that has been well known and considered already for several decades.
It reminds you of a Rod Stewart song because... it's a Rod Stewart song!
He did it originally. They couldn't afford the rights to his version for the show so they re-recorded it with a guy who sounds kind of like Rod Stewart.
I get Brian Adams vibes myself.
You might, but it was a Rod Stewart song. It was also originally in the movie Patch Adams before it was in Enterprise. I don't know why, but I think that's amusing.
Maybe it's because, apparently according to my searching, the songwriter also wrote songs for Bryan Adams?
I was wrong about one thing though: it wasn't on a Stewart album, it was just on the Patch Adams soundtrack album.
OK that would explain it, but AFAIK if you rerecord it, you still need to pay royalties.
They did pay royalties. They just paid less than they would have to pay if they used the original song.
