It's a good song that does nothing with the visuals.

Not too shabby. 
Crime of the century.(and I don't mind the ENT theme - but it doesn't work here - especially since the person who edited it introduced stuttering video to alter the timing throughout to make the 1701 warp out match the warp out sound effect in the ENT theme sequence. Very sloppy way to do it and it stands out badly.)
YMMV of course.
I always felt like nobody is truly a captain of the enterprise until they recite the opening monologue here’s Archer’s and kelvin Kirk

How can you tell?
Seriously, Russo is a grind unless he's quoting someone else's work, The good parts here are from Courage and probably Williams. The only part of the Picard theme that, well, sings is the melody borrowed from Chattaway.
Nope.
Well, don't hold back, cause ya know, everybody was waiting with bated breath for your particularly uninspired evaluation.
NOT
I actually don't mind the Picard theme. I prefer it to the Discovery theme.
I also would have liked some more interesting visuals. I've got nothing against beauty shots of the hero ship, but something about the way it was done here just doesn't wow me. I am glad that they didn't go with the dull abstract graphics that nearly every other sci-fi series has to have. I feel like you could intercut the opening graphics from Picard, Foundation, and Halo and no one unfamiliar with them could tell the difference.
Video games both 5 years ago and now look awesome.
High praise.
Also true.
It's funny to me to hear complaints about the graphics when others are demanding it look like TOS. Like, does TOS look contemporary?
Well, yeah...I mean, that show. What do you expect? When they were released, they really screamed "Too cheap to hire the houses that do real prestige TV."
All these majestic ship visuals in dimensional, colorful environments intercut together seem to be the offspring of Voyager. I like the SNW opening a lot, but The Orville's done it better than anyone - including Voyager. Twice.
Universo Star Trek has a 4K version.
Damn that's a beautiful ship, despite the extra windows

They do look awesome, but video games are rendered in real time, while film CGI is pre-rendered on super powerful computers. There is still an expectation for the pre-rendered stuff to look better.
Perhaps your friend needs glasses maybe?
For what it's worth, whenever I've said I want it to match TOS's visuals I meant the designs not the quality. I've seen some absolutely beautiful renders of the classic Enterprise done in a modern style and this scruffy old battleship look they've applied to the SNW ship's hull isn't really working for me.
There is?
I missed that expectation memo then!
It's working better for me as I look at TMP styles.
And a transfusion of taste from an adult.
Scruffy old battleship? [squints eyes really hard, then back up to the other side of the room, tripping over an ottoman in the process]
Oh, yeah! Now I see it.
Teasing aside, I can see your side of it. But it doesn't register like that for me. I would expect to see discernable hull plates on a ship of this era, with the almost clinical close-ups they use. The old girl looks mighty fine to my eyes.
