10 Biggest Behind The Scenes Star Trek Mistakes That Ever Happened

There's not a lot to say that hasn't already been said about this entry. Each Star Trek series has their own set of, usually, wonderful opening credits. The Original Series theme is iconic and the Star Trek march that Jerry Goldsmith composed worked wonderfully for The Next Generation.

Dennis McCarthy's lonely dirge for Deep Space Nine was an Emmy winning tune, while returning Jerry Goldsmith composed what is potentially the most beautiful of them all with the Voyager theme.
