Was this the right call?

Ok, I admit it. I'm not really fan of VOY but the opening was pretty kickass.

I'd give it a tie with DS9. But since I have to go where my heart will take me if I voted I'd vote VOY.

Opinions are fickle things and invariably at least to some extent are a reflection of general opinion of the series.

I do wonder if the support for the VOY theme was because of the music itself or the random CGI scenes while it played.

It's a good opening. I like Deep Space 9 and Voyager the best, followed by The Original Series.

Greg Cox · October 19 2012, 02:39 AM

I can see this. I have my issues with Voyager, but that credit sequence was stunning.

Enterprise beat DS9 and TOS!!

It's funny how opinions differ outside of Trekbbs. I often get surprised by RL fans because I've read the same opinions here over and over and come to think of them as something monolithic.

You make it sound like ENT slaughtered DS9 in the poll! It only beat it by 1%!

I'm frankly a little shocked that TOS came in dead last. I'm not really fan of that opening, but I thought the iconic status of it would at least put it someone in the middle in terms of popularity.

Yeah, whatever else one might say about Voyager, it does have a pretty damn good title sequence.

Surprised TNG did so well, its title sequence is basically just the actors' names with a few fly-by shots of the Enterprise.

Did two exclamation points equal a slaughter?

It's the awesome Patrick Stewart as Picard narration in the opening credits.

The voice over with the three Enterprise captains in the series finale of ENT was the only good thing about it.

I did a double take when I read your post. I had to comment on it since I really liked the DS9 opening.

I'm surprised ENT was up there, I would have thought (from too long immersion in this BBS) that it would be far below all others.

Well I liked ENT's theme best of all of them. I'd say VOY's second best, TNG/DS9 in the middle of the pack and TOS is last.

This is very nearly completely the opposite order in the esteem as I hold each series. I'm not going to decide if a show is great or not from a two minute opening theme. That's literally judging a book by it's cover.

Well to be fair VOY did have a good title sequence.

Voyager didn't do much right, but I can't complain about the title sequence.
