The opening titles of Star Trek: Enterprise were good
- Thread starter Taki
- Start date
I agree. I also believe that Enterprise has some of the best character development in the series. We're currently re-watching it now (just started Season 3) and it's frustrating knowing the show never got and will never get the time it deserved to really evolve into something special.
(For the record, I consider myself a fan of the series in general and don't actively dislike any of the shows--though DS9 and Enterprise would absolutely be considered my favorites).
If you took a moment to think about it the theme--a Diane Warren song--matches the message of the show perfectly. But hey, let's try to be witty and make a tired joke about it instead.

Yep, the song just dates it to hell. Check out the mirror universe episodes theme though, that one was awesome.
The visuals are awesome but I will tell u as a life long Star Trek fan and Quantum Leap fan who was HYPED for a Star Trek show lead by Scott Bacula....who after seven years of Voyager was waiting to hear those magic words "Space... The Final Frontier"
That hype was brutally murdered by the first three lines of that generic pop song.
Then the episode sucked too...

I don't like the music, and the opening's efforts to represent and celebrate humanity's achievements in spaceflight, while tying them with the fictional achievements of Starfleet, are fundamentally undermined by how US-centric the whole thing is. Like, Trek's always had issues with how it centralises America, but Enterprise's opening is still a huge step down from 'We put a Russian on the bridge of Enterprise in our show made during the cold war'.
The concept isn't inherently bad, but the execution is bleh. Which is kinda Enterprise in a nutshell.
(I'm still amazed they managed to make Scott Bakula so incredibly unlikable as Archer. Like, that takes real work.)

Honestly, I think PLANETES is a great example of how you take the concept behind the Enterprise intro, and do it right. It's also much more thematically resonant with the story of the actual show it's tied to.
That song was not even original composition for the show, it was used in the movie Patch Adams IIRC.
Archer. What a great role for Bacula. A speciest hot head who literally leaves space dock unprepared.
One of the worst songs ever produced by human civilization, for sure. Visuals are good.
It's still TNG or Voyager in terms of the whole package.

Good call. Much better.
Sidenote: Discovery's theme sucks badly. It's a poor work of composition. Spends too much time on the same for chords without any interesting voice leading, harmony, or melody in general, and then abruptly changes course to shoehorn the TOS melody.
It was cheesy and bad and disappointing. Just like everything about that show.
Better.
Better.
That music fits so much better.
I was gonna reply to the OP that Discovery's theme is a good example of post Jerry Goldsmith trek music. Also the presentation and usage of age of discovery visuals was clever.
Some people hated it because thematic relevance doesn't magically make a song a good soundtrack *shrug*
Dude it's a bad song, no need to get feisty lol
I love Enterprise, and I like that they tried something new with the opening, but c'mon that song is corny af, and wasn't even supposed to be the theme, anyway.
I get the love for Enterprise, because I share it with you, but you don't have to go all in
I can appreciate it more now, but back when it came out I was Treked out, or more appropriately Berman and Bragaed out and hated it.
good visuals, god awful song
The MU intro was awesome though, almost made me root for them.
Wow this is so much better.

You guys are crazy. That theme gives me hope maybe because I was in the navy and this came out like right after 9/11 but adore this shit. Top 15 theme song all time!
this moment is the one good thing to come out of Star Trek: Enterprise
well, okay, this and Shran
OP
OP
Mirror two-parter of Enterprise is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant:
I have no issues with Faith of the Heart but have to admit I prefer that one. Makes me want to watch Enterprise. Hell I've been thinking about starting from ENT and going through EVERY episode of Trek again using timeline order rather than airdate.
