    Apparently, Rick Berman had no clue about how effectively music can convey the mood, theme and tone of a given TV episode or a motion picture, and the music can get the audience excited, scared and thrilled about what they’re seeing on screen. Ron Jones’s score for “The Best of Both Worlds” set the mood, theme and tone of the story so beautifully. Real shame Rick Berman fired him for doing his job and doing it *too* well.

      Don't bash Berman. I'll take him over racist Rodenberry or "Xena"/"Basic Instinct"-loving Shatner any day. Yes maybe they weren't Ron Jones, but Jay Chattaway and Dennis McCarthy had character to their scores as we see in the last few seasons of "TNG," on "DS9" and on "Voyager."

      Ron Jones' Score for The Best of Both Worlds is the 3rd best score to anything in Star Trek history. It only ranks behind James Horner's Wrath of Khan, Cliff Eidelman's Undiscovered Country, and Jerry Goldsmith's First Contact.
      I bought the CD soundtrack for TBOBW at the only Trek convention I had ever attended when I was 12 years old. I still have it to this day more than 25 years later, and it's Jones's masterpiece.

      You can read Rick Berman's reasons here: www.startrek.com/article/rick-berman-answers-your-questions-part-1
      "Too flamboyant"; bunch of bullshit really. Probably different tastes, but for me, music that calls attention to itself often gives something a cinematic feel, like Star Wars or something. I guess that's not what old Rick wanted for TV.

    • @OpenMawProductions
      @OpenMawProductions 4 роки тому +10

      He literally told Ron Jones to stop being emotive with his music.
      Which is nonsensical. The whole point of music is to give scenes a stronger emotional bridge to the audience. All you have to do is compare everything RJ did for TNG before he left versus everything that came after. The music after his departure is downright dull most of the time. Some of those later episodes could really have used Ron Jones touch.

      @@Arroweast I can understand his perspective, however wrong it may be. The most memorable music from the show is, with very few exceptions, from Ron Jones. Did Berman seriously not learn a single thing from TOS and the first three Trek films? Memorable, well-composed music elevates the whole experience. Imagine watching the Enterprise leave drydock in TMP set to some TNG season 6-7 style elevator music. It would've been horrendous; the music is just as responsible for making a classic as the acting/art/editing/directing.

    Star Trek series always had great music, although for instance in DS9 they sometimes forgot to add mysterious elements in there. Space should be mysterious. In that respect, nothing rivals season 1 from TNG. Cast and crew may have been wobbly many times but the orchestra was phenomenal. Romulan theme alone was sheer brilliance. And by far the best sounding episode in all of Star Trek.....drum rolls....."11001001"
