May he rest in peace.
Would it have been good as well if Alexander Courage ever composed on an anime?
I always have imagined the lyrics and music in the opening and ending credits of many anime would be better than those in the American TV series.

Guess they'll have some pretty dramatic music at the wake.

The TOS score was a little over-the-top at times, but that was probably part of its charm.

TOS is one of my favorite television programs. R.I.P.

I'm sure he and Jerry Goldsmith are having a nice conversation (or argument, lol) about whose music is better.
RIP man, you brought forth a legendary tune.

I can't imagine how Trekkies are reacting from this.

I take it you haven't heard the Star Trek theme song.

Yes, that is correct.
If Crossbone-chan means "hear" as to be aware or to learn, then I already have heard/learned about the Star Trek theme song
If he means it as "the ability to perceive/receive sounds", then I haven't heard of the song because I couldn't and can't hear.

Just for the record, there are no words to the Star Trek theme, just sort of howling.
