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 got faith
Of the heaaart
I watch it is for like the first 5 eps and then I don’t. I wanna get to the action!
Usually, but I love the optimistic fanfare of the TNG intro, and it has a habit of drawing me in.
Never, same applies to The Expanse
The Expense’s intro is in it’s own league
I’ll watch one when I sit down to watch, then I’ll skip it on any further episodes in the same watch session.
The DS9 one really drags on. It’s great but long.
I will watch the intro once.
Just Enterprise. Man I still hate that intro.
Really? But it’s been a long road gettin from there to here….
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.
It went EVEN BIGGER.
Season 3 had the new intro (I’m watching it now) and it was a better version, but still a corny rock ballad so I still am a meh/10.
If it has opening narration, I don’t skip it.
I’m a sucker for that sort of pageantry.
I was just complaining that ds9 has a 90+ second intro… it’s just too much
It’s a snooze-fest! Slow panning shots for 75 seconds until the wormhole opens briefly. Low-tempo, gentle music. You ride a slow moving elevator to arrive at the show’s content matter.
Yeah, I often fall asleep to a TNG playlist where I’ve selected all the most cozy episodes (e.g., no Borg or “4 lights!” because those are amazing but stressful) but being jolted wide awake by that jarringly loud intro music is less fun than nodding off to Picard romancing Lwaxana with Shakespeare quotes.
You don’t skip the Enterprise intro?
It’s been a long time…
