All the Star Trek Television Show Intros

Ranging from
Original Star Trek
the Animated Series
The Next Generation
Deep Space Nine
Voyager
Enterprise 1 & 2 intro
The video is abit clippy, trying to figure out whats causing it
Obviously the most controversial intro is Enterprise. Since its a none score intro, and based on song made for another film. Each reflecting the times of the TV shows and the tone it was trying to convey. Enterprise had two intros, one with a slow paced song, the other with fast pace annoying drumming lol. But one thing I noticed is each intro is incredibly themed. With Enterprise, I think alot of people missed the point the intro was trying to make. Since this show was about the beginning of Star Trek, the intro was trying to be profound and serious, try to give us a step back and see how far humanity has come. Basically the song was trying to make this intro personal. Even part from the song, the visuals did this too. In my opinion is one of the best made intros of Star Trek. Sure a instrumental score can do this too, but I think Enterprise was trying to be different also. And I can respect that. In addition I dont mind making changes, as long as theres a point to it. The show should of stood its ground about the intro, but fans requested a more upbeat intro, and the studio (not implementing the request well) gave us this crap, the second intro to Enterprise. Anyway I hope you enjoy the lovely music.

Enterprise was such an underrated show

[@theapple3160]

everyone hated it at the time but liked it after, sad seeing ad if they liked it at the time it could have had so much funding and so many cool ideas

I love that it's grown on people over the years, given how much hate it used to get. I rather enjoy the pairing of the song and visuals myself. That said I still consider this the true theme of Enterprise kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uxmHZuqchgrpo&ab_channel=SGTBizarro

That’s a good way to start! Don’t let anybody bother you about the ending. I’m surprised at how many people think that it was all a simulation. It was Riker and Troi looking at our equivalent of historical records. We read history books, listen to recordings, and watch video. They watched the holo records.

[@Bajker4ever]

Next Generation & Deep Space 9 intros kick ass!!

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

After having heard the Next Generation's theme song so frequently, it's a bit of a surprise when the old 1960s theme comes on after the space ambience gears you up to hear it. To be fair, I primarily grew up when TNG was the big Star Trek show on TV.

[@DenitaArnold]

Glad you included the Animated Series theme 👍

[@cliffordterrell2112]

I am just glad STD or Picard was not included.

[@claireboyle7151]

DS9 was really good and I always remember being a little kid and being mesmerized at TNG's theme and video

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

I've seen every episode of every season of every version of Star Trek from T.O.S. to the animated series to TNG to DS9 to Voyager to Enterprise and inspite of what a lot of people say about it Star Trek Enterprise was a good series as it showed the early days of Starfleet before the formation of the United Federation of Planets and the voyages of the very first Earth starship pre-Federation to be called Enterprise and it's encounters with the races we are all familiar with from the Klingons to the Vulcans to the Romulans heck the NX-01 Enterprise was the first Starfleet ship to encounter and engage and fight what would become the most deadliest enemy in the history of the Federation and that threat was the borg even though the Borg ship they destroyed was an assimilated transport ship and if they hadn't stopped them the Earth wouldn't have a future as the planet would have been assimilated by the Borg and suffice to say what anyone says the crew of the NX-01 are okay in my book and you can quote me on it.

[@chainsawkillers]

A very thoughtful take on why Enterprise was such a great show. Also, I think, the most underrated of the Trek shows. Possibly the most underrated show of all time.

[@jimspy1001]

I just finished bingeing the whole series - I skipped it the first time around, and wow! I'm sorry I did! In many ways the best of the lot! Highest production values, soft story arc (you want that, it improves the script writing), some great characters (not all), respect for the science, expansion on concepts from TOS, tie-ins from the other series, most natural dialog of all the series...and I loved Dr. Phlox, the strongest character of all. I had bypassed the series after the first few episodes, because I didn't like how they treated the Vulcans, turning them into duplicitous liars, but upon second viewing, I moderated my own inner conception of the Vulcan race, and it all made sense - they aren't perfect, they just THINK they are! Sorry, you pointy eared hobgoblins, but arrogance is an emotion! Anyway, glad I watched it. Best series of all. Who's with me?

[@hubbsllc]

ST:ENT had a lot of good in it. I just think it was [photon?] torpedoed in overall direction by the showrunners. And I didn't mind the ending; I thought it was clever and Frakes did a better Riker *then* than in TNG, IMO.

[@TheBabaloga]

I agree in theory but in practice ENT was so obsessed with that stupid temporal Cold war it really bogged down the whole show. I would've *loved* a show about the birth of the federation, but I'm not sure that's Enterprise.

[@scatman8963]

@@TheBabaloga the temporal cold war makes perfect sense for the series but I don't think it was executed as well as it could have been. Think about it, after all the time traveling we've seen it's obvious that in the future of trek they would develop technology to exploit it and the enemies of the federation would absolutely use it to prevent the federation from being founded

It's so nostalgic listening to TNG I used to watch it with my Father as a child

[@marcbraun5342]

TNG got the grand voice, Voyager the grand score and visuals and the first Enterprise song and visuals capture the longing for adventure, traveling, new shores, so to speak, and get's you in the right mood. Sadly they coincidently have the worst intro with the second version, fitting since the series, suddenly also named Star Trek, wasn't that good anymore in it's third season as it was before. But Voyager and Enterprise deliver that what I like about the series the most, exploration and something new around every every asteroid, the others were mostly in their known space and dealed with errand runs and known factions, still having good stories anc characters though.

The U.S.S Enterprise in Flight, With Incredible Symphony Orchestras

[@esterpagano3445]

Bellísima por su trama en distintos dramas. Una serie que fue mi favorita aún estando en la Universidad, algo con mucho futuro, con astronautas muy altos, y misteriosos en la aventura de un universo lleno de otros seres con otras formas de vivir. Y una nave difícil de olvidar con su equipo preparado para la paz o la guerra. Quién puede olvidar al médico que llega en el Siglo XX resuelve con una gragea una enfermedad en una mujer de dicho siglo y deja perplejo a sus colegas, o cuando salvan a una ballena. Bien merecido tiene hoy en día el actor que dirige la nave, de volar por primera vez hacia el exterior de la tierra. Todo un desafío en sus años.

[@JKSSubstandard]

Enterprises theme is just so perfect in hindsight. This isnt the utopia of the future yet. This is a group of humans (and others) stumbling head first into the future like the explorers of the past. And that theme scknowledges that. We arent perfect, but if we have faith in what we want to do it will carry us forward

[@canman87]

Yeah, I just couldn't connect with any aspect of Enterprise. The intro feels kind of disjointed in the sense that they take you through the better part of about 800-1000 years worth of history (old clipper ships up until the final shot of the Enterprise itself; kinda just ballparking the time frame here) and 90% of the intro has nothing to do with the ship itself until it's like, "Oh, all of a sudden Enterprise appears out of nowhere in the final few seconds." Add to that the radio rock intro music and... yeah, I just can't jive with that. TNG, DS9, and Voyager have by far the best intros, with Voyager being my all-time favorite of the bunch in every regard. Great visuals, fantastic score, and a compelling story where they aren't bound to the established lore of your run-of-the-mill Alpha quadrant drama. Every episode was full of potential for who knows what and I would say that in almost every metric they achieved that, by and large.

[@hydrochloricacid2146]

I think the DS9 intro's biggest problem is just that's it's unwatchable (in the long run) in practice because of its length... It starts out strong but past the first 30 seconds or so you'll only ever see ships moving around the station with the same fairly repetitive intro theme. All the others are varied enough that you could actually bear to see them a few dozen times without skipping...say if you were, for example, watching THEM ON TELEVISION WHEN THEY AIRED.

[@valleyforgeproductions]

Tbh when I was binge watching DS9 on Netflix I had to start skipping the intro until they actually added ships to the intro. The same 20 shots of the station gets old after a while

[@canman87]

I think that personally, what you described about the DS9 intro is one of the things that I just didn't like as much in regards to the show as a whole. I get that there are people that enjoy having massive overarching storylines that take one or more seasons to tell in their entirety... I just don't happen to be one of those people. The intro sequence kind of encapsulates that by basically only showing the station itself with a scant few ships flying around. The vast majority of the show takes place in the same region(s) of space and is focused on how DS9 is involved in the grandiose story they're telling. I don't have a problem with that at all, but I much prefer the smaller episodic approach of Voyager and the fact that on any given broadcast you never knew what you might run into. I think the plot of DS9 ended up being pretty great, but works best as a series that you can binge over the course of a few weeks rather than having through years' worth of time to see how it all plays out. Basically, it's a great series to watch in the modern era on Hulu; but in the 90s when it was on air? It was a much harder show for me to watch and I was thankful to be able to audible to Voyager a couple years later.
