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?
Just Enterprise. Man I still hate that intro.
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.
The end credits music was quite good if I remember right though.
It’s vile.
…bubbly and cloying and happy.
That song actually has three full verses, only the first is used for the intro credits
I’m thankful for that.
There is something about my hatred for the Enterprise intro which compels me to endure it.

Rarely. A good intro gives me a moment to set aside real-life worries and get into the right mindset to enjoy the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, and SNW are all bangers.
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.
Usually, but I love the optimistic fanfare of the TNG intro, and it has a habit of drawing me in.
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.
If it’s Enterprise? Definitely. Or I mute it.
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.
Do you count The Inner Light as one of the cozy episodes or stressful episodes?
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.
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.”
You don’t skip the Enterprise intro?
It’s been a long time…
What have I done
If it has opening narration, I don’t skip it.
I’m a sucker for that sort of pageantry.
never skip the ds9 intro; i’m too busy crying and grandly humming along.
I will watch the intro once.
even when binging I watch the voyager intro every few episodes, I love the music too much

It depends. I have a ritual of watching a Star Trek series start to finish with my kids when they’re around 10-12. Currently watching Voyager season 5 with my 10 year old and we do savour that intro occasionally but not always. I’d say maybe one in five times we’ll watch it.
It’s a long intro at nearly two minutes but it’s such a good one. Great music, great graphics, super setting.
10-12? I was sneakily joining my mom’s TNG watch sessions when I was 7! 😂
Though I enjoyed Star Trek, I wasn’t watching whole series until 2020 or so. Funny enough, VOY Endgame came out four days after my parent’s wedding, which my dad had to sit with my mom for.
I watch it is for like the first 5 eps and then I don’t. I wanna get to the action!
