I think the melody of the music in the last scene, in the bar, was an original composition. Watching the credits was inconclusive because there was nothing there about that music specifically (though surely, if it was an existing song, there'd've had to be a credit?). However I did not have to work very hard at all in my head to get the last few bars to scan to the last few lines of Roddenberry's lyrics to Courage's theme. ymmv

Since I first started watching Star Trek in 1971, one of the reasons cited for its attraction was that it presented in a turbulent time a vision of a future of hope, full of bright colors and wonder, and of humor. "I will not kill, today." "Infinite diversity in infinite combinations." "But we did fly." "The release of emotion is what keeps us healthy." "In every revolution there's one man with a vision." "Live long and prosper." "Second ... close that door."

Today's episode's cold open captures that, for the characters and for the viewers, and by all the stars and truths do we need that right now.

Happy Star Trek: Picard eve. Remember to leave cookies and milk out for the Emissary.

In case these are the only entries here that you read all week, I should mention I've imported this journal to Dreamwidth and intend to delete it soon because of the T&Cs mess; details in recent entries tagged lj. I'm not certain whether I'll keep doing these over there.
