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.

Oh, where’s that option in VLC? (I’d probably skip if given the choice, I remember wanting to constantly with game of thrones but whoever I was with insisted on watching the entire 5 hours every time)

Usually, no, especially with DS9 (Even that crappy spread-up version with the cheap drum track tacked on top used after season 4.)

However, as I was watching Prodigy on my desktop, my behavior varied. For a while, I watched the whole intro, but my anticipation became too much and I began skipping right through it as I got through season 2.

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

I got faith

Of the heaaart

I-was-saying I actually started to like that song.

The DS9 one really drags on. It’s great but long.

If I’m alone, I often skip. With my daughter, we listen patiently. She needs to absorb the majesty.

Ensign_Crab ,

If it has opening narration, I don’t skip it.

I’m a sucker for that sort of pageantry.

Only so I don’t have to turn down the volume, and turn it back up when the episode starts.

Just Enterprise. Man I still hate that intro.

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.

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

fakeman_pretendname ,

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?

badlotus ,

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.

SteposVenzny ,

It went EVEN BIGGER.

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

EpicMuch ,

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

I watch every intro/outro about three times every binge session before I get sick of it and skip them. Yes, that includes Enterprise;the intro is fine, haters gonna hate.

SpaceNoodle ,

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

UlyssesT ,

It was fun to watch the Lower Decks intro gradually change over time, especially that shootout that the Cerritos runs away form.

data1701d ,
@data1701d@startrek.website avatar

Not to mention that great soundtrack. Honestly, Lower Decks truly has the most memorable soundtrack of pretty much any Star Trek post-VOY. No generic cinematic fare for me.

UlyssesT ,

The extended Cerritos refit montage/music was chefs-kiss

You could say it was earl grey hot.

UlyssesT ,

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! dax-stoked

CCMan1701A ,

Never, same applies to The Expanse

Damage ,

The Expense’s intro is in it’s own league

TOS always, the others it depends.

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.

data1701d ,
@data1701d@startrek.website avatar

Do you count The Inner Light as one of the cozy episodes or stressful episodes?

lukecooperatus ,
@lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml avatar

Good question… it’s not on my playlist but it’s probably actually cozy. I just don’t tend to watch that one often because it makes me feel sad.

My top 3 favorite cozy episodes are Data’s Day, Déjà Q, and Manhunt. Horny Lwaxana is an inspiration; her reactions to her daughter’s slut shaming comments are so priceless to me.

data1701d ,
@data1701d@startrek.website avatar

Gotta agree with Data’s Day. In that same vein, I also love Hero Worship.

Using book mode, I once typed the entirety of The Inner Light script in Monkeytype. My meme description of that episode is “Picard plays Animal Crossing VR and then has his entire save deleted.”
