To commemorate Star Trek Day, I thought we could share our entry points to the franchise. I expect we'll find the full range of experiences.

Germany, 1992: During a lesson, my music teacher played the theme from “Raumschiff Enterprise” - that's what TOS is called here - to test his new sound system. 🎼

I wanted to have this track, searched in music and video stores, and the only thing I found was a VHS tape of Star Trek 6. And guess what: this particular music theme was not used in the movie, but the plot and effects captivated me. 🖖

Around the same time, the second season of TNG had its first run in Germany 📺. This series had a similar piece of music 🎶, so I stayed tuned - and lucky me, a few months later there was a rerun of seasons 1 and 2 almost every weekday, followed by the remaining seasons every weekday from summer 1993 until summer 1994. And during that time I also found the Soundtrack with the TOS theme. ✌️
