Hard to say. I don't know how much perceived quality makes a difference. If I were to play themes from say Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Superman: The Movie, etc., most people would instantly recognize the music and even acknowledge that it is a great theme. How many of those people own any of those soundtracks in their collection, or even listen to film music on a music streaming service? Very few. There is a reason many film score releases are limited to 3,000 copies or fewer.
Agreed. The most the average person would probably have done is buy one of those "Greatest Movie Themes" LPs that used to be so common. All rerecordings, many have much different arrangements and some are quite "interesting." Enoch Light did a bunch. Those are, at least, very enjoyable if not accurate.
What was J.J. Abrams’ mantra making the new Star Wars films? “Make it delightful.” Say what you will about the movies, but J.J. knows how to make things delightful.
Interested to know more about that meeting with Aunt Dinny. Was she nice?
Yes, she was very friendly. The family kindly arranged for me to meet her for a few moments when she was running an errand not far from my house. I was sooooo starstruck to be meeting a celebrity—from Star Trek, no less—so I don't remember the content of the conversation very much! She has retired to the Vineyard and is known to be one cool lady, very involved in the community.

Interesting article. I’m in the minority here I know but I think Pulaski was more interesting than Crusher. I wish she had stayed around.
Also not sure I agree with your rankings on Where Silence Has Lease, The Royale or Time Squared. As time has passed I actually think Season 1 and 2 have gotten better.
I read somewhere that Rick Berman had commissioned both Hurley and Braga/Moore to write Generations scripts and that Hurley’s dealt with Kirk on the holodeck before Picard actually met him.

Ooof, we'll have to disagree on that one. As an Irishman (i.e., actually Irish, not Irish-American), I can only say that the racist caricatures in this episode make it more personally offensive than even Code Of Honor. That's how unbelievably bad it is.
