Enterprise and the 80s Ballad

Here's why it sounds like a bad 80's ballad.

It practically IS. It was written in the 70s.

TELL me that someone didn't go rifling through Roddenberry's old file cabinets & found something scribbled on an old Paramount Studios Caffeteria napkin ...

...oh yeah ... if it was, it would be announced in the credits. Heavily.

(JMS still did his first attempt at songwriting better. And had a better singer to present it.)

Diane Warren, aparently reasonably well known for turning out some impressively mediocre to lousy butt rock. If they wanted a weird 80's song they should havev used Major Tom coming home, heh.
