I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can't imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It's part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?

Just Enterprise. Man I still hate that intro.

Really? But it’s been a long road gettin from there to here….

[–] EnderMB 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love it.

It's absolutely NOT Star Trek, and whoever decided that it would match a series of Star Trek is a moron...but for a standard sci-fi show it's a good song choice.

I tried Enterprise back when it came out and I was out after a couple episides. I just couldn't do it

[–] EnderMB 0 points 2 months ago

Oh, Enterprise is pretty poor. There were some solid ideas, but at the time it was just too big a departure from Star Trek for it to be taken seriously.

Now, if Enterprise were the lead-up to First Contact, the intro would make sense as it would be an early prequel to everything...

The end credits music was quite good if I remember right though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The end credits song were originally suppose to be the intro song but was changed last minute.

I've read the exact opposite, that they always wanted a pop song for the credits, but nearly waffled on it just before it aired.

I can understand not vibing with the song, but the montage and what it represents is peak Trek to me. I love it to death.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It's vile.

…bubbly and cloying and happy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That song actually has three full verses, only the first is used for the intro credits

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I'm thankful for that.
