I said before somewhere that this intro doesn't have a single star in it. But it probably does if you look really close
Hey, I already did the inverted thing a couple of weeks ago here.
Spoilers Main Title Sequence
- Thread starter MvRojo
- Start date
Yeah, that was cool. Also when they changed the opening titles for ENT's "In A Mirror, Darkly" two-parter.
Neat, I like it better invertedHey, I already did the inverted thing a couple of weeks ago here.
If this has already been pointed out, then my apologies. Isn't the opening sequence showing little bits and pieces of each episode in S1? The flower is the gormagander. The hand is (probably) Lethe (might be an episode earlier than this), when MB dreams of herself being thrust into the place of Ripper. ...
I don't understand what's not to get. It's a title sequence displaying Trek iconography. It's no more thoughtful or thoughtless than seeing Voyager just roaming around space.
I guess selective memory is at play if they've forgotten the TOS credits; whoosh, whoosh, fly to a planet, orbit, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Thought-provoking stuff, all that whooshing.
And TNG's was basically a remake of TOS's.
I didn't browse forums in 2001, but was there a backlash over how ENT's credits took a different direction ASIDE from the song? Like, fans upset that it wasn't just a montage of the Enterprise NX-01 doing flybys?
I'm sure there were. It's what fans do.
There were a few alternates created from ship flybys combined with Archer's Theme, including an official one made before season 4 that included Archer doing the narration (except phrasing it "where no human has gone before"), but IIRC, people were mostly positive on the montage and saved their ire for the song.
Wait! No, there was a controversy over all of the clips being of Americans. Oh, yeah, that was the shit. Including people with better reception figuring out the scientist at the chalkboard couldn't be Russian because he was writing in English.
In the opening credits of Disco, are those TOS props? The phaser is diagrammed, exploded, and when it spins around it's the Disco phaser. But before that is it a straight up TOS phaser? And before the communicator becomes a sound wave, that's not the Disco prop, is it?
I wish the rest of Discovery (and JJ) took the design sensibility that those two props take. They are wonderful updates of the TOS props. Very close yet very modern.

You've got it. The TOS phaser transitions to the DSC phaser, but the TOS communicator just dissolves away.
The Tricorder is also a pretty great modernization. The communicator is probably my least favorite of the three, but that's probably because it take cues from my least favorite communicator, the TWOK brick. It's a shame DSC wasn't made fifteen years ago when transparent electronics were in style, we could've had a faithfully updated "Cage" communicator.

For those who sort of like the current one, but not enough.....
Wow... did you do this... love the counter melodies..!
This is starting to sound a bit... familiar...
Speaking of alternate takes, here is a version I did of the intro with the TWOK theme by James Horner.

I like the way the designs, plans, and diagrams look more "blueprinty".Hey, I already did the inverted thing a couple of weeks ago here.

The music still sounds like very generic movie trailer music.
