The Official Theme Song of Jean-Luc Picard
I’ve known plenty of Star Trek fans in my life, and for most of them, it seem Next Generation is their favorite Trek series. As an original series fan, they try and correct me by telling me that Next Generation is more serious, more dramatic, and less goofy than the original series, since it doesn’t have Kirk womanizing and punching aliens with silly masks and constantly losing his shirt. Well, Next Generation fans, I tell you this — James T. Kirk never had a barbershop hat and a cane and did a goddamn song and dance routine on the bridge of the Enterprise. So there. (Via Holy Taco)
