It was just ahead of its time. You know, that time when “Skip Intro” became a thing.
lol
That was still a bit readable, here, let me help…
How much faith of the heart would you say you have?
As much strength of the soul?
What’s bad is that the song is so terrible and yet once they mix it up for season 2, you wish they’d bring the original back.
At one point they improved it and it was pretty good, then season 4 they absolutely butchered it.
It’s been a long road, getting from there to here.
Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand
It’s been a long time, but my time is finally here
I take offense to that, the uniforms are also bad.
[adjusts shirt right after adjusting said shirt]
Wow. Go fuck yourself.
Oh! An Enterprise joke? Can I just say that……
🎼 “ITS BEEN A LOOONG TIME…!!!” 🎶
Getting from there to here!
If its truly forever, then why cant I find my freewebs page that I made in like 2003 :(
edit - actually… I was able to recover a single page. lmao
Someone archived Geocities, and I was able to find some of my old stuff by searching for my old username
Key word is “some”. And it’s not someone, it’s a whole group of people. I was part of it.
There’s still a lot missing. It was only because when geocities was going to get deleted, a large group of web scrapers pulled together to grab as much as possible.
Then, we manually combined all of them to try to piece together this internet history.
Things not crawled are gone. Things geocities have already been deleted before the announcement is gone.
The worst part is Yahoo gave the heads up. Most hosting companies don’t. And many delete behind the scenes, like Photobucket if you don’t log in for a long time. Or forums when they stop paying the bills.
Cool, maybe my shitty warez site is still there. I just learned the absolute basics of html and essentially just stole links from other warez sites.
I found everything I recalled posting to the page and no broken links, but my Geocities page was pretty flat, about two levels - index.html and files linked from there
I think the “under construction” and web ring links were broken
When you post something on the Internet, it will stay there forever.
When someone else posts something on the Internet, it will disappear off the face of the Earth by tomorrow.
The observed staying power is somehow relative to how important it is to you personally.
Faith Of The Heart filled me with me with hope and glee from the opening notes to the ending. It was a perfect companion to the deliberately un-Star Treklike opening, and showcased how different things were at the beginning.
I got used to it and then came season 3
Yeah but, No one’s gonna bend or break me.
and I will reach, any star
just tell them “it’s been a long time”
“and the intro is still shit today in the year 2042, only second to the outro of the same show”
Any Star Trek fans that wander in here…if the theme had been an instrumental version, perhaps even orchestraed up, would you have been fine with it? A reminder that TOS had lyrics as well, mainly as a copyright thing to profit, but they exist. And they are far worse than Enterprise’s lyrics.
Yes, it wouldn’t have been nearly as bad without the lyrics.
The lyrics just made it a shock. I would have made a tweet like that back in the day, and have since come around on it entirely
Probably because they made it even worse for the following seasons which made the original “not so bad.” Kind of like how people view George W Bush in a more positive light now post-Trump.
Conversely, the only thing that got me through all of Enterprise was the invention of the Skip Intro button
I didn’t even have TiVo when it aired, so there was no skipping for me. It’s been a long road.
The show has an
orchestraledit: instrumental end-of-episode theme that was written for the opening titles. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsn2xVmVuGEYeah, like that one better. The french horns remind me of James Horner RIP. A french horn is the signature sound for a starship in my opinion.
Waltzes are the worst.

Tell us, what were the lyrics to the original Star Trek theme?
Here’s a sort of decent attempt, no one ever actually sung it officially. The lyrics are in the comments.
So, there actually weren’t any in the show’s theme.
Playing semantics. If you want your head canon to be there never were lyrics at all, that’s perfectly justifiable, as they were created for money and never aired. They still exist though.
The point is that there were no lyrics to the theme for the actual show. It doesn’t matter that lyrics might have been written for it. This discrepancy is quite relevant because we’re also discussing if the theme for Enterprise would have sucked less if the theme was the same, but only instrumental.
The song was a banger, and it really warmed on me. When they changed it to an instrumental it sounded really stupid
No faith you’re into this company.
I actually like the intro sequence for Enterprise. Was honestly my favorite star trek intro until I started watching ST again recently to see the newer stuff, and have liked the one for Strange New Worlds even more.
The intro was awesome, probably the best of any start trek (other than when they changed it to an instrumental version that sounded awful)
The rest are a bit of yawn in comparison.
This is a 3am-sort-of-pain one must endure in order to see another episode.
(Dang skip-into not working every time)
