Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

It took me too long to realize they weren't talking about the Borg theme in the film.

Borg? Sounds Swedish.

Could be "worse." Remember when the Welsh Guard Band played the imperial march for a Saudi King?

Who else started playing the music in their head after reading the title?

The FC theme is one of my favorite pieces of Star Trek music.

Truly one of the best from a collection of already great movie themes.

I have a long-running, unreleased fan-fiction project set in the Star Trek universe. In which, the First Contact theme song is an in-universe piece of music called "Humanity's Theme" that is played in celebration of Federation Day.

Sweden seems to be thinking along the same lines.

Good job, whomever decided on this piece is definitely a man or a woman of culture. First Contact is one my favourite sci-fi movies of all time too!
