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 will watch the intro once.
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.
You don’t skip the Enterprise intro?
It’s been a long time…
What have I done
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.
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 😅
Only Enterprise lol
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.
Yes. Almost every time.
never skip the ds9 intro; i’m too busy crying and grandly humming along.
I watch it is for like the first 5 eps and then I don’t. I wanna get to the action!
Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.
Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.
Yes, unless I haven’t watched in a while.
It was fun to watch the Lower Decks intro gradually change over time, especially that shootout that the Cerritos runs away form.
I usually skip the intros unless I’m really in the mood, but for LD my daughter and I always skip to the nacelle-eating alien (we named him Yum Yums), yell “YUM YUMS!”, and then skip to the end.
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.
The extended Cerritos refit montage/music was
You could say it was earl grey hot.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Usually, but I love the optimistic fanfare of the TNG intro, and it has a habit of drawing me in.
I was just complaining that ds9 has a 90+ second intro… it’s just too much
It’s a snooze-fest! Slow panning shots for 75 seconds until the wormhole opens briefly. Low-tempo, gentle music. You ride a slow moving elevator to arrive at the show’s content matter.
I laughed so much when they lampshaded that in Lower Decks
Ransom: “Just keep circling.”
Yes I actually think DS9 has the best intro overall… but it is also the one I skip most often for the reason you give.
ya know, youre absolutely right. when im in the mood it is absolutely beautiful.
I just love when the station appears on screen so small, alone in deep space with the lone french horn playing… then suddenly it flashes up close! And we see a flurry of activity! It reminds me of a whale fall or some other deep sea island of life.
