    Man I really don’t get the hate for the intro, but I’m also biased. Started watching Enterprise after my kid was born, somewhere probably around 2 or 3. Anyway, putting him down for a nap was tough cause he had lots of energy, but if I just put on an episode of Enterprise he’d be out. Something about the intro just calmed him down and knocked him out almost immediately.

      It’s an acquired taste. I think most people who enjoy ENT do end up liking the intro, but even then sometimes you do want to skip it. I also normally skip the “upbeat” into that they introduced later.

      It has the same effect on me.

      The second version is definitely worse, I don’t think that’s a controversial statement.

    Skip Intro is the only thing that got me most of the way through Enterprise

        That’s the thing, it’s supposed to be Wild West in space. I always thought it fit perfectly.

          The entire premise of Enterprise was that it was Humanity’s first foray into space outside our little backyard. The first Warp 5 engine gave Humanity the means to truly begin exploring.

          The entire intro is about the journey and faith in that exploration. Going through Humanity’s history of exploration, through every Enterprise until you get to the NX-01.

          I love the orchestral intros just as much as everyone else, but that’s just not the tone of ENT. It’s a perfect intro for what the show was.

        What’s funny is that it was written by Rod Stewart, a Brit.

          It was written by Diane Warren and only sung by Rod Stewart for “Patch Adams,” the film for which the song was originally written.

                Well, how am I to know that this:
