Spoilers Main Title Sequence

[Jackson_Roykirk]

The opening SHOULD have been something like this:

 

[Seven of Five]

I thought the titles were slightly underwhelming as well. The theme music isn't too bad though.

It's definitely a different opening title sequence than we're used to with Trek. Visually it's quite nice, though as someone else mentioned early on, I expected it to transition somehow to a space scene as the ship whooshed by at the end. Also, it seemed odd to me that it seems to include both the standard, overall credits for the show (main cast, producers, etc.), but also episode specific credits (writers, director), which are traditionally held for the start of Act 1. After we came back from the first commercial break, I kept waiting for "The Vulcan Hello" to appear and it never did, which is a little disappointing.

It's awful and the music is very uninspired. I'd rather suffer through the ENT intro.

The main thing I noticed about the Title: I have never seen a TV show with so many Executive Producers.

I was hoping my name would show up. LOL

Who thought it was a good idea to have no space between lines of text in the titles? It's really annoying.

That was me.

The new MST3K on Netflix was partially crowdsourced. They ran a partial list of the crowdsourcers at the end of each episode, showing (I suppose) the complete list by the last episode of the 1st season.

So there are their few thousand of "co-associate producers", or whatever they call them.

The opening SHOULD have been something like this:

Still better than Attack of the Clones.

 

[Jaimito]

The water flowing like animations remind me Fuller's Hannibal.
It's fine for me. Can have a more catchy main theme, but it is not bad. The first two notes is from TOS.

The main thing I noticed about the Title: I have never seen a TV show with so many Executive Producers.

I noticed that when I watched the episodes tonight. What does an executive producer do and are we misappropriating (that might be the wrong word) the term. I always thought the executive producer was basically the head guy for said episode. When you need approvals of like 20 people, I can’t imagine how chaotic that could be.

The first Flintstones movie with John Goodman needed 33 or so writers to pen the script. If that doesn't tell you about Hollywood overkill then nothing will.

DSC intro reminds me of this ..

 

[CorporalCaptain]

That was me.

*shakes head*

 

[SPCTRE]

I like it, it feels very contemporary, very HBO.

Get with it, gramps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[USS Triumphant]

I turned the volume down and played "Faith of the Heart" along with it, and it was 20% cooler.

Just kidding. I actually quite like it the way it is. That understates it. My only word was... "wow".

 

[galad2003]

What was that garbage?

My gut reaction is that it is terrible. Whilst artistic in its own right, it feels like the focus is on production values, props, rather than the story or characters. "Let's flash a load of things to make trekkies happy". The aesthetic is design and production, and as such feels "unfinished". The music feels like it is missing something, maybe its a lack of melody, or purpose.

I would take Enterprise season 1 and 2 openings over this - but maybe in time it will grow on me, and maybe the aesthetic approach is intertwined with the plot, but i'm not hopeful...

Um... every other Star Trek intro has been flashes of models and visual effects and no characters.

You'd take Enterprise over this? You mean the one with maps, blueprints, space suits... wait, this sounds familiar...

Actually, Discovery is the only one so far that does incorporate specific elements of story (crystals, war) and character (Vulcan salute, Burnham's actual face)...

Sorry, why do you find this terrible again?

 

[Gonzo]

I thought the sequence was subdued and uncertain but at the same time hopeful in overall tone.

To be honest anything is better than the Archer/Enterprise sequence, glad they learned their lesson.

Specifically, the ship flying through the opening flower, reminded me of the bullet from the gun sequences in your traditional bond titles.

They should have used the pure orchestral Bond Theme from Her Majestys Secret Service.
