I'm sorry, you're all crazy people who are wrong with your wrongheaded wrongness. Ent is second best 90s/aughts trek. This is a factual fact that is true and good in the eyes of the Lord and Prophet Rodenberry, peace be upon him.

Loudly sings Faith of the Heart over any counter argument

Clearly you haven’t partied with Trekkies.

I’ll say it loud, I’ll say it proud: I like the STE theme song. I rarely skip it.

There. The truth is out. My soul, stripped bare, exposed to the judgmental gaze of the masses.

May the Lord have mercy on my henceforth outcast soul.

you suck! you have the music tastes of an old white granny

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

I try not to judge anyone's taste in music, and the song is fine, but I think it was an objectively bad choice for a space show about the future.

Classical, orchestral style music as used most of the other show intros doesn't really age, as it's already a very old and neutral style. The STE theme starts and it instantly dates the show to the 90s (even though it was an early 2000s show).

It was even poorly received at the time, which is why they modified it to drop the original drums and include a faster tempo percussion and orchestral backing, starting in season 3.

And Enterprise had a great opening theme song, sadly they decided to play it over the closing credits. Faith of the Heart is raspy and bland and sounds like an advertising jingle.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 20 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

It's not a bad song.

It's just super different than the rest of the franchise.

Nothing is perfect, every show has its ill-fitting parts, enterprise just decided to make it the theme, instead of slapping it here and there in episodes.

I say let your freak flag fly. Fuck the haters. Enjoy your ~~^garbage^~~ intro song.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

no.. it's a terrible song. It sounds like AI made it with the prompt "give me a corny ass Nashville radio style song about a vague religious term that can offend no one."

[-] lenz@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Even though I like the theme because of how corny and thus hilarious it is, I have to agree with you.

[-] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 4 points 13 hours ago

It really does. No idea who'd downvote your comment.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 20 hours ago

I'm here with you on that

I watched it all over the past year.

At first I knew of the theme song as a joke ... a meme. So I listened to it fully at the start of every episode as a joke .... by about six or seven episodes in, I didn't want to turn it off. After that, I started enjoying it ... then they changed the style in Season 3? and for a while I was pissed .... then it took another three or four episodes and I started liking that too.

I think it's more of an age thing .. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I enjoy a lot of folky style rock and I always found the theme so vaguely familiar and I associate with it already. Coupled with the idea that Enterprise is a throwback to an earlier age of the Trek universe, it all seems to fit in with me, which is one of the main reason why I enjoy it all.

I get all tastes are found in nature but this is pushing it

Now I want that line in all the subtitles tracks.

[-] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 17 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I watched this when I first got into ST because it's the earliest on the timeline (asides from various time travel episodes from other series).

I actually kind of liked it and the cheesy sitcom dad vibe that Bakula brought to the show.

That theme, though...

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 18 points 21 hours ago

Still better than Discovery and about two-thirds of Picard.

[-] data1701d@startrek.website 7 points 16 hours ago

I don’t know; I’d rather watch all of Discovery than some of the horniest Enterprise episodes…

[-] rivr@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

may the prophets forgive you 🪄

[-] darelik@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Which ones would those be? So i can ~~watch~~ avoid them when I'm ~~not~~ watching with my kids

[-] data1701d@startrek.website 2 points 2 hours ago

No, seriously. These are the kinds of episodes that really make you want to have Rick Berman “as a guest” in the trunk of your car before “taking him for a nice swim” in the river.

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 14 hours ago

I'd add the other third of Picard, Discovery and Voyager, the third season of Strange New Worlds and the memberberries-parts of Lower Decks.

[-] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 7 points 13 hours ago

Mate, Voyager? What is wrong with you?

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 12 hours ago

Wait, you guys actually like Voyager? I thought that was a joke!

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 4 points 22 hours ago

One of the worst Treks, and the intro didn't do it any favors.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

all the downvotes are just horny gooners who watch STE to jerk off
