Spoilers Main Title Sequence

The one thing I’m happy about is that it’s not your typical starship/station porn we’ve seen in most of the Berman era stuff. Not quite sure what I’m expecting. It’s okay.
Yeah that I do like. Endless shots of the hero ship make for a dull sequence. At least Voyager did some different backgrounds, instead of just "SPACE".
 
My reaction (also posted in the social media thread is: "WTF?" ;)

It's certainly different.

I hope it's just actor names, I found Trek's nerdtastic tendency to give everyone's character rank and full name rather irritating.
One thing I hope they do is leave all the production and other credits for the END TITLES. I got sick of Berman Trek's tendency to list every f**king line/supervising/executive producer at the start. Near the end of the series run (6th and 7th seasons) you'd sometimes have credit in the lower third of the screen going 10 minutes into the episode.

Either just give the episode titles, the writing/directing credit and move on with the episode.

I hate it. The musical theme is generic as can be not counting the Alex Courage theme, and the visuals don't fit in with the other series at all. It's also awkward they did the show's logo and then the Discovery fly by and then hold on....nothing.
 
IDK man I rather enjoyed the huge change. It is contemporary..........Beauty passes and star fields are sooooooooooo 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's.........
 
I just find phaser and communicator artwork so meaningless and boring for an intro.

Non-Trekkies will totally go "OMG AMAZING A COMMUNICATOR!!!". Right?

That ending is almost certainly where the episode's writer(s) and director credits will appear ala HBO and Netflix shows.

That's for the "Created by..." card.

They decided that "Committee" was anticlimactic. ;)
 
A cynic might suggest the studio are reacting to the almost universally good response the props got by focusing so heavily on them.

But i don't know any cynics ;)

Except for the fact that that Communicator isn't even the Discovery model, lmao.
 
Specifically, the ship flying through the opening flower, reminded me of the bullet from the gun sequences in your traditional bond titles.

And the other 1:25 mins? :p
I guess I'm just not seeing it. The comparison feels like a sacrilege and you might lose your British citizenship over that post.
