Both Jerry Goldsmith's and James Horner's themes were used. What's unusual about both scores was they had a nautical element to them. Most sci-fi ship launches are dramatic and brash. Here, Goldsmith and Horner went for the more majestic feeling of a great ship leaving port, Horner's especially with a ship's bell chiming.

@@TheRealist2022 It means they know the nuances of the ship systems. Like with Decker knowing that the phasers ran though the warp drive in TMP, so why he called for torpedo's to knock them out of the wormhole, because so many systems had been updated while Admiral Kirk was flying a desk during the Enterprises refit.

[@MsSissiePooh]

The entire scene is so cinematic, from the visual effects (love the rubber band effect), production design (my only nitpick is that the bridge is a bit *too* dark which makes it difficult to see the rest of the bridge crew) and the orchestral score has so many callbacks to the Star Trek TOS and TNG movie scores composed by James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith that it gives me goosebumps.

What a wonderful update of leaving space dock from "Wrath of Khan".

[@doctor49152]

In Star Trek 6 Kirk ordered the Enterprise out of space dock at 1/4 impulse power and was told that it's maneuvering thrusters ONLY in space dock. Full impulse is calculated at 10 kilometers per-second. So 1/4 it still pretty damn fast! 9000km/h!!

[@outside7]

I‘ve been looking for this comment 😊

[@juanr8110]

Maybe they should have said thursters instead of impulse. What do u think?

[@manicmidwife]

That being said, in the Search for Spock - both the stolen Enterprise AND the Excelsior exit the doors at one quarter impulse, and even THEN, the Enterprise does it in reverse!

[@LeftIsBest001]

Full impulse is 0.25 the speed of light, so a quarter of that is far more than 9000 km/h. It's in fact 18000 km/s.

Good Job Seven there is a first for everything. When a vessel leaves Spacedock the commands are 1. Call the Tower and request permission to leave. When permission is granted the next command is 2. Clear all Mooring! docking clamps are turned off, airlock boarding tunnels are retracted, and tractor beams are disabled and mooring lights are retracted. 3. Activate External Lights Thrusters to Station Keeping! The lights are turned on, stardrive is activated, and thrusters are engaged for station keeping. 4. Aft Thrusters Take Us Out! Engines to 1/4 Impulse! If all is good thrusters are engaged to push away from the dock and impulse engines are placed at 1/4 to leave Spacedock. Once the ship has passed Jupiter the final command is sent. 5. Warp 9 ENGAGE! Once that command is sent the ship leaves Sector 001 and goes to warp.

[@kuribayashi84]

I remember people complaining about the Bridge-Set in _Generations_ being lit too dimly. Which it was, compared to how it looked in TNG, that's true... but *this?* Also, "Neo-Constitution-Class"?

[@andrewvenor8035]

At the start of production of Generations test footage was shot of the Nest Generation sets using the TV series lighting scheme on 35 mm film. What the producers found was that when the footage was projected on a theater sized screen you could see the grain of the plywood walls and the heads of the screws that held the set together. Something you couldn't see in a 480i NTSC broadcast on a 27-inch TV set. So, the lighting was turned down to hide those unwanted details. I'd imagine that the current Star Trek shows might be shooting dark because they are running into the same issues shooting with 4K cameras to be displayed on large screen televisions.

Until it was renamed as Enterprise, I guess...

You know when Seven is uncomfortable when she nods the head ever so subtly, that is a Voyager trait, that 0:27

I always chuckle at the "sonic boom" sound effect when Star Fleet ships jump to warp speed.

[@SinjinTaidjeKhan]

At least they got Spacedock right. And the tip of the hat to James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith was keenly noticed. Don't care for the Enterprise I mean Titan though.

Wow this is really a nice combination of the old and the new Starfleet design. Really nice ship.

They should give Seven her own ship and series - She'd make a great Captain

[@nothingtoseehear5012]

Could you imagine being on that set. "Places. Mark. Rolling. Cut off the lights. And ACTION!"

[@Sarasdad91]

SPOILER ALERT So far I love season 3 myself. Everything is the way I hoped. And some great Easter eggs too. Of course we can't have an interesting story line without a stiff no respect insulting jakazz you'd love to eject out the airlock into space, and this one just happens to be the new Captain. And OMG! The Jerry Goldsmith theme for ST The Motion Picture and TNG. Thank you writers you finally heard our cries.

[@wolfguard2221]

From TWOK also. They listened to the complaints, as well they should. This scene alone helps me to forget about the last 2 seasons, and STD. "And there was much rejoicing."

[@darrenc2721]

So many music arrangements to hear in that one clip alone, The motion picture being one of them, the wrath of khan, genesis planet, the undiscovered country, so much crammed in. I need to watch the blu ray I just purchased of this series.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

Now I wanted a new Star Trek show, starring Jeri Ryan!

[@tomgrant9310]

I expect the big secret is that we'll be getting just that after this series ends!

Never get tired of a star trek beauty pass / space dock exit. Glorious. I hope when humans suss time travel they will bring one of these ships back so i can see it fly. 😎

[@davequinlan3020]

I'm trying to come up with a timeline and from what I am picking up from this episode, through dialog and other observations, I am coming to the conclusion that we are 5-10 years from the events of Season 2, which was 2401. 1) Raffi's Granddaughter appears to be around 7 years old?? Her daughter in law was pregnant in Season 1 Freecloud. 2) Seven completed Starfleet Academy which is a 4 year program. I'm sure her rank was accelerated. 3) Shaw stated he was in command of Titan A for 5 years and he deleted Rikers music library when he took command. This tell me that following Season 1, Riker cane out of retirement was in command of Titan A, making Riker a 2 Ship Titan Captain. Also Picard said the line of "your old command". I originally thought namesake but I'm thinking as I started Riker Commanded 2 ships names Titan. I'm conclusion unlike seasons 1 and 2, all we know is we are somewhere in the 25th Century. Assuming Riker Commanded Titan-A from let's say a bit, and then Shaw has been in command for 5 years, also based on Raffi's Granddaughter age, I'm putting Picard Season 3 around 2407-2411. We are quite a bit in the future from last seasons.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

This seems to be a very feasible plot. I also recalled from Season 1's finale that Picard's "new" body will allow him to live out his natural lifespan, which is estimated to be another 10 to 15 years. Assuming it is 2411, Picard has lived under this new body for approximately a decade and (sadly) he might be nearing the end of his natural life 😢

[@pocok5000]

so 7/9 is like 60 years old

[@slighter]

1) Raffis Granddaughter might be not the only granddaughter she has. The birth the her daughter from season 1 is about three years ago by the point of this episode here 2) Seven might have been given a commission without access to SFA, since she certainly had the knowledge and training of countless Starfleet officer due to her assimilating them. 3) It is possible that Shaw commanded the Luna-Class Titan before the ship had been basically completely disassembled and rebuild as the Titan-A. So I'd say we still can assume we are in 2403 or so. Although the Titan-A really pushes the limit regarding the whole Theseus ship situation (probably the reason she got a new designation after "refit").

[@jimmyzen3061]

@@LGranthamsHeir You forgot about the Elixir of Youth!

[@jbraunschweiger]

I’m sure like the real military there is a way to get a starfleet commission without first completing the academy (ex B’Elanna, Kira).

[@Mramericanos66]

That scene is a thing of beauty

[@SwingingInTheHood]

As someone who never really liked TNG (die hard TOS fan), and absolutely despise Discovery and Picard S1 & S2, I have to say that re-watching this scene sent chills up my spine. Yes, it's super fan service for those of us who remember ST TMP. But this scene, the swelling music, the cinematography, that ship! OMG! Even an old die hard like me has to admit: They did good here.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

I'm TOS all the way too but this made me want to hurl.

[@EnterpriseKnight]

I'm the same. Absoloutely hated Picard 1/2 and I gave completely up on Discovery. Loved SNW and Lower Decks though. Anyway I don't know what to think. It's all great and very nostalgic, but I kinda feel someone is pulling my leg here. It's just the first episode though. Let's hope for the best.

[@DayInTheLifeOfAl]

Man, I’ve got Trek fever real bad. The clips are so exiting to me. I’m convinced this is accurate to our future.

[@djshadoww7152]

I know there's a few little things to complain about like the dark lighting, and I don't like the over excessive cussing but you know what, Terry did good on this one. This is the best picard that's come out. It felt like the "10 hour movie" we wanted in the first place. Season 1 was ok, hated they killed Hugh and Icheb like nothing, but I loved how Data got a better send off. Season 2, story was horrible, but I did love Q and also loved when Picard finally gave him a hug lol. But this?! I won't complain, the music is everything and it gives me family vibes the tos crew had that we didn't see much in tng movies. If they keep this up I think s3 will be amazing.

[@RealCelticGamer]

This should have been the only season of Picard, with the best episodes of season 1 sprinkled throughout as backstory.

[@djshadoww7152]

@Quinn Ellis Exactly.

[@brians9508]

You are right, that dark lighting and cussing is really overdone. Both seem more than just unnecessary, they seem detrimental. I have to squint at the TV, and even then I am always concerned that I will miss something in the dark. And the cussing seems beneath these people. They are the cream of the crop when it comes to the human race - the best of the best to have gotten through Star Fleet and become officers. They have lofty ideals and goals. And then they debase themselves by cussing like a construction worker with a 3rd grade education? Doesn't make sense.

[@djshadoww7152]

@Brian S Right. I mean DS9 and Enterprise were darker but damn not this much. Red alert that's fine but not under normal circumstances. And there's been cussing before in star trek like first contact or generation's but it was pg-13 cussing and it wasn't often. Sure starfleet has been corrupted before and there were dark areas of the galaxy but this feels like the federation is just as bad as our society today. I get they're trying to relate to our problems today in star trek but it's supposed to be hopeful. Like a Russian being a part of Kirk's crew during the cold war.
