Lets just say that the theme song is so bad, that I was burning through every Star Trek show my first time watching. Next Gen-Boom, TOS-POW, Voyager-Ehh OK!, Deep Space Nine-WOAH. Then when I got to Enterprise I had such a visceral reaction to the theme song on the first episode that I never continued the show. Its a very stupid reason I know, but its my reason, and I am going to need a much more compelling reason ever to return.
We need a "Star Wars Despecialized Editon" of Enterprise where the only thing they change is the theme song.
Edit: Alright everyone you talked me into it, my local library has the Enterprise DVDs so I'll give them a go. And I'll even listen to the theme song. 🖖
Hard disagree. The opening theme is part of the show. It's a secret Star Trek call.
A few years back I was waiting for an elevator and randomly the song got stuck in my head. I started to hum/sing the song, quietly, but getting louder as I waited for the elevator. I didn't notice but another man had also had begun to wait for the elevator. "Is that the Enterprise theme?" He asked? And we shared a conversation about a show each of us had watched 20+ years ago.
You gotta watch with the theme song.
I mean... the fast forward button does exist.
Yeah I know. It's definitely a me problem. I'm sure one day I'll come around.
It's been a long time after all...maybe my time is finally here.
If it helps at all, this was originally supposed to be U2's "Beautiful Day", but they couldn't get the rights to use it. It's still an abrupt shift in sytle and tone, but it fits the intro really well.
Holy shit I'm suddenly glad it was the weird country music thing
I had a similar reaction. But I'm almost done Season 4 and it's a great show. And the theme song is stuck in my head, just like it was while binging the other shows. Odd.
