Given that their society worships the military and is obsessed with group conformity I'd say its full of military hymns and brass bands, with the occasional "folk" choir. That or its just dozens of techno remixes of Hell March from red alert one playing over videos of parades and those skimmer things.

Cardassian music would be very close to Phillip Glass' where the repetition of the form is the entire point. It would have to go well with hot rock basking, so it would not have a wide or crowded vocal range so that every nuance of a conversation taking place can be picked up. There would be deceit, so the instruments would be heavily synthesized and timbres changed to hide the identity of the original recording artist should they find themselves on the outs with the composer (The composer credit is always attributed to the government). So probably very close to the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack with all its dynamic highs and lows so the state can also use it to as a stage for their surprise accusations and denouncements that inevitably come at every public performance. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Aug 17, 2016 |

The only music allowed within Cardassia is the Cardassian national anthem.

There was also that crappy plink-plonk music that Riker recreated using the shield harmonics when he was trapped on a (I think) Romulan ship.

DS9 Profit and Loss: The soap opera episode. It was clear that the lead guest star was a hottie under all that makeup so looked her up and turns out she's Bing Crosby's daughter and was on Dallas. I'd not be surprised if the soap style was by design, maybe using a soap writer and casting Crosby for the role. Average episode overall though seeing Quark's vulnerable side was interesting.

Nah, that sort of stuff is too self-consciously trying to be badass and it just comes off as a little bit ridiculous. It's what Worf, Klingon weeaboo, would think klingons like. I reckon klingon music would be just dringking songs at the popular end of the scale, and really rigid, formulaic and traditional operas for the upper crust. Im ashamed to be making this post about loving star trek music. communism bitch fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Aug 17, 2016 |

Season 4 seems to be where DS9 really ramps it up! Little Green Men, The Sword of Kahless and Our Man Bashir back to back is an amazing 3 hit combo.

treiz01 posted:Season 4 seems to be where DS9 really ramps it up! Little Green Men, The Sword of Kahless and Our Man Bashir back to back is an amazing 3 hit combo. I don't know how I feel about the Sword of Kahless. It's like peak weeaboo klingon Dax but it also has drunk Kor chewing scenery and Worf realizing his culture would go insane over a piece of iron. But then I read this on sperg alpha. quote:Worf actor Michael Dorn proposed finding, after the Sword of Kahless is beamed into space at the end of the episode sharing its name, that the real Sword of Kahless was secretly being kept by Worf and that he had taken it back to his quarters. René Echevarria was critical of Dorn's suggestion, noting, "This Holy Grail is just too dangerous for the Klingons now; put it to destiny and maybe someday their people will be ready to do it honor." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 110)  I just saw that J.G. Hertzler who played Martok ended up writing DS9 novelizations. His biography has him being busy in a lot of things all over the place.

Andromeda had such a cool concept and the first season was rough but it at least carried the main idea of the show forward. Then they fired the writers and turned it into lovely hercules in space and threw out the overarching plot.

The things I can remember hurting that show from the very beginning were the incredibly low rent MIDI orchestra they had for the incidental music and the irritating xtreme 90s dude with frosted tips e: their bad guys were also genetically engineered ayn rand fanboys, which is amazing concept for the most hateable villains ever but of course they went nowhere with it

It also had such a non-existant budget that they couldn't have all the actors in one episode past the pilot, so they had to keep coming up with excuses as to why some characters weren't there. "Oh Harper's gone surfing! And purple chick's gone to look at plants."

The ship was supposed to be crewed mostly by robots which is why some huge 2km battleship had a crew of like 5. They'd always have a robot or two in the background working, but it was clear they only ever had 2 robot costumes so in almost every scene there were the same 2 robots as extras.

The bible for the show must have been amazing. The setting was rich and defined and the they did cool things like time-dilation between communications and some newtonian physics in space combat. Yet, it was not a good show.

It begs the question of why they needed such a huge crew capable of doing <3 minute battlestation drills if they could get by so efficiently on a handful of robots.

Between the dull purple circular corridors with brass railing and the stage-business of all the monitors wildly flailing 3D frames of the Andromeda around I'm not sure I can finish this episode based on the visuals alone. Star Trek may be sterile and unchallenging a lot of the time but at least the panels look like they serve a purpose and that people would choose to work on a starship. Seeing the little insect woman flip around in the chair like she's having a seizure for simply moving the ship made me think, "Oh gosh I hope she dies so we don't have to see her do this every time."

Andromeda was fine at the very start. Maybe the first season. I've seen it all the way through twice now and I'm still not sure what even happened exactly. I don't even want to speculate on it because that just starts Andromeda PTSD where I hear harper laughing or see Kevin Sorbo laboriously walking through scripted fight choreography.
