They could have got Avery Brooks he does a lot of voice over work now.
If they cant get Captain Picard why Not Captain Sisko?

Judy Dench really isnt the problem. It's the script.

Well put sure and I dont really mind her but come on Patrick Stewart :sohappy:
Judi Dench can sound really good if they gave her a good script.
Here's an example

The end of the last one really examplifies it.

I think the current score is great, there are a few weak sections in the middle (mainly due to them still not getting levels correct in my opinion) but the ascent is great followed by a little bit of dullness then everything from Renaissance Italy onwards is great music wise.
Very different to the previous incarnation of music but still great.
As for the narration, I do enjoy it but it just doesn't have the same power to me when I listen to it compared to Jeremy Irons.

I think I would still pick Jeremy Irons over Patricl Stewart, he has a great voice but not the same for me.

I think the 1994 score is perfection, but I REALLY like the new score as well. I listen to it all the time, especially the main theme.

I agree that I like the 94 music a bit more, but yea, the new music is still very good.

It has a solid theme, but it's still not as inspiring as either of the previous versions music, and so much of the score is just meh. The ascent tunnel is awesome, the 20th century is good, the computer room is great, 180top is okay (the two previous versions were pure emotional powerhouses), but everything else just feels generic to me.

This might sound silly but the thing I miss the most was the way Jermey Irons pronounced The Renaissance.

Just to add my two cents to the whole narration thing:
The main problem, as stated, is the script. It plays too much to the lowest common denominator
Secondly, and I hope this doesn't sound sexist, I just think that SSE should have a male narrator (father time) and LWTL should have a female voice (mother earth). Nothing against Judi Dench (and whoever is the voice of LWTL), I just have way too much time to think about things.:animwink:

Wow, I had never thought of it that way, but that makes a lot of sense.
Hmmmm....man now I have to think about that.

Nah... not sexist, stereotypical maybe, but not sexist.

Not one bit, at least to me. I think that was a fantastic point and was stated in a perfectly fine way.

Having a BA in Communication Studies, I can authoritatively state that the current version of the script is much more accurate and precise than previous incarnations. It connects together each scene and explains how one influences the next. It tells us that the alphabet the Phoenicians invented is the same alphabet we use today.
Do I miss the grandiosity of the previous script? Sure... but the new script does a much better job of communicating history to us. And shouldn't a ride about communication history do just that?

Yeah, I know, that was hot. Kind of like The Seas chick saying, "The deluge..."
That might be a good point if the pavilion was still about communication, and not just plain innovation.
