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.

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

          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…

      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.

        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.

      Yeah, I actually MISS intros on shows that don’t have them. I forget when in the 2000’s or 2010’s they started that, but it aggravated me almost as much as the cutback from 20+ episodes a season to fewer.

    Even skipped it back in the days when we were recording TNG episodes on tape. Fast forward and a magical chant of ‘Gene, Gene, Gene…’ to ensure stopping at Gene Roddenberry’s name as it indicated the end of the intro

    For binge-watching yes. If I’m in the mood and it’s the one off occasion that I’m re-watching some old episode (or the newest one of the week), then of course not 😅

    When streaming I do because I’m binging, but regardless of how I’m watching I will NEVER skip TNG intros. My god what a masterpiece, even the end credits are just a capstone to perfection.

    even when binging I watch the voyager intro every few episodes, I love the music too much

      The intro music is the best part of VOY.

      TNG’s music is engraved on my soul tho.

      Same except the Enterprise intro, which is objectively terrible, and you know it in your heart of hearts
