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?

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.

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.

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.

There is something about my hatred for the Enterprise intro which compels me to endure it.

Is it a weird guilt thing?

I hated that song when the programme was new, but now I feel guilty about it, because someone was trying their best, and they wrote, re-wrote, edited and worked on that song and for every instrument and vocal, someone practised and practised and performed, and even if it wasn’t quite to my taste, it doesn’t mean it was bad, and I picture them still crying themselves to sleep at night, twenty years later, going “everyone hates the song I did for Star Trek Enterprise and now I hate myself”, so I make sure to watch the full intro so I don’t hurt their feelings.

That’s what everyone else does too, right?

I watched the intro during the first season of every series. After that I generally skipped the intro. I found out they actually re-recorded/remixed the Enterprise intro somewhere late in the series when I was late to click the skip intro button. It still sucks and I hate it.

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