A lot of the music associated with Spock (and sometimes Sarek) throughout the films has involved the erhu, so I've always imagined they have something similar to that. Stringed instruments, and music with kind of a Chinese sound, is how I imagine it. Though I'd roll with pretty much anything (like if it came up in a fanfic), considering how hard it would be to sum up "What does Terran music sound like?"
Re: the artistic side of vulcan -- MusicspocklikescatsAugust 22 2010, 06:01:04 UTC
I like the idea of different regions and age ranges of Vulcans coming up with different musical styles very much, ninety6tears.
As the Chinese base some of their music on a quarter-tone scale, I imagine Vulcan ears would easily follow this ... and I also imagine that Vulcans would have a "classical" or ancient Vulcan style that has come down through the centuries, something that stirs all Vulcans to the core, or perhaps is able to bring them to a peaceful, meditative state.
I love the idea of some rebellious 11-y/o Vulcan boys starting a clashing band, while the hormonal 11-y/o Vulcan girls start playing emo indie rock ...
Re: The Ship's Counselor (+ an apology)treksnoopyAugust 21 2010, 21:54:49 UTC
I have no documentation to support this view. But I think that each crew member probably has an initial consultation/evaluation with the counselor to establish a baseline. Then just like physicals, visits once or twice a year would be in order to check up on everyone. You know Space Madness does happen LOL! Additional counciling sessions would be individually advised. These could be anything from personal relationship issues to problems dealing with coworkers, or fall out from a disasterous mission. I also can't believe that Troi was the only counselor on the ship. Just as Beverly had a staff, I think Deanna was in charge but had other therapist to handle part of the workload.

Hahaha- If you feel like retaking high school in Nebraska, go ahead. It's an AP Psych course, and answering these questions is supposed to help us to better navigate the internet. Or something. I suspect the teacher is a closet Trek fan though.
Enterprise ret-cons it to a virus that was originally intended as a biological weapon, but accidentally got loose and spread. One of the symptoms was the loss of forehead ridges for a generation or two. So prior to that episode, they have ridges, then they lose them until TMP.
Awesome, it must be covered in the small number of episodes of TNG I haven't seen/haven't watched in years, because I couldn't for the life of me remember.
Why are female officers referred to as "sir"? Is that a navy thing? I don't think I've seen that outside of Star Trek, but then again I don't really watch many navy tv shows/movies.
Janeway addressed this issue in the first episode of Voyager - apparently it's Starfleet protocol that both male and female officers be called "sir". Janeway herself prefers "Captain", though, and she's okay with "ma'am".
According to the IMDb trivia section on Wrath of Khan (it was talking about how Saavik was originally written as a boy and the rewrite neglected to remove the "Mr" from "Mr. Saavik."):
"Trek" fans and Naval buffs have pointed out in actual, nautical jargon: women are addressed as such. Being that the "true" lady is the vessel "herself"

I know that doesn't really answer your question at all, but I felt like throwing that out there. :D

What university did Scotty graduate from? Did he go through Star Fleet Academy, or did he get his education elsewhere?
and
Why exactly was Deep Space 9 abandoned by the Cardassians? Was it just because they couldn't move it or was there some other reason?

Is there ever an actual explanation given for the change in Klingon appearance from early Original Series to the films and TNG?
Or is all we get the episode (DS9? Gosh, I can't even remember this.) in which Worf basically says "We don't talk about that."
