    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.”

      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.

      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.

          Finally, data! Watching for the first time ever right now. (Just finished season 3 yesterday.) At first, I spent an hour with AI trying to get a sense of whether people liked it. I’m coming from TNG and Original only, so the song seemed way out of genre when I started. When I’m facing computer and TV is to side, every single commercial break pause, I start subconsciously singing, “it’s been a long road” and I’m afraid I like the heavy version

            Just skip the final episode of the show an you’re golden. It’s a great show.

            Just go where your heart will take you…

    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…

    When my daughter was a toddler she’d walk by the TV and freeze when the song was on. She’d just stare and sway back and forth. Never seen her act like that over anything else.

      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.

            To me it’s the dictionary definition of comfort-TV. It has actual trek, a new ship, a new quadrant, coffee, a bad ass captain, the best doctor in the entirety of star Trek, etc.

            It also has a lot of shit, but that’s ok with me.
