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?

    Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.

    Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.

    I ALWAYS skip enterprise, I never skip the others.

    I get that they were trying for something different, I can even appreciate using a folksy ballad that doesn’t have all is the “formality” of classical music the same way Starfleet of the time doesn’t have all the formality of later treks. I even personally find it to be a cool idea on paper, but for some reason it just didn’t land with me.

    It’s jarring when it SHOULDN’T be. Even the closing credits get a "WhoOoAawhatthefuuuuOh."reaction out of me every time the music starts. Like, it takes until almost the fourth note on the credits before I go "oh yeah, they do this.

    I still watch the credits, though.

    I watch every intro/outro about three times every binge session before I get sick of it and skip them. Yes, that includes Enterprise;the intro is fine, haters gonna hate.

      Same except the Enterprise intro, which is objectively terrible, and you know it in your heart of hearts

      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 😅
