Somebody paired Faith of the Heart with it 
Spoilers Main Title Sequence
- Thread starter MvRojo
- Start date
The music is not my favourite Trek title music, for that it's a little too generic and doesn't have a hummable melody, but it's nicely arranged and sounds good. The visuals aren't perfect either - the main ship is pretty ugly, I don't get why they are showing the TOS-phaser. But I like the artful style, and the imagery of a face/eye is a nice human touch through all the technology.
But the important thing: The visuals and the music fit very well together. It's not the best title sequence. But a very descent one. Would watch.

We're never going to live that one down, aren't we?
If you watch the entire first season you'll hear the theme fifteen times. Plus you've already heard it at least once already.
At a certain point, if something has to be a certain way to be Star Trek, that's not a good thing.
Like a lot of things in modern Trek, the main title sequence became formulaic. This is different. I think it's good, not amazing, but I like that it's different.
2001: this is dumb. Everything is the same.
2017: We hate this! It's too different!

Well, if there's one 'streaming show' trope that ST: D fits - it's that...IE - We're Original Streaming Content ergo, the Emmys will LOVE US now.

Come on now, where's The Orville version???
I like how "modern Trek" now means the stuff that's only 20-30 years old rather than 50.
I only exclude TOS since it was first, and not so much formulaic by virtue of being the first to do the things in Trek.I like how "modern Trek" now means the stuff that's only 20-30 years old rather than 50.
Just making the point that with Discovery we need a new catch-all term for 1987-2005.
Berman era Star Trek.
True. Title sequences may be the only things that count for me.If you watch the entire first season you'll hear the theme fifteen times. Plus you've already heard it at least once already.
Snooze Trek
Well, this is a streaming series in most of the world, so reruns won't be an issues for the vast majority of people.Wait till you've sat through it at least fifteen times plus reruns.
Yeah, I've noticed that too.
As for the credits sequence, I like it. It's not the greatest thing I've ever seen, but I like it. It's a nice change from the flybys we got for most of the other series.
"Faith of the Heart" works better on the soundtrack.
I like the titles a lot more than the theme on its own. They suggest the show is serious about respecting the connection/debt to TOS, which I appreciate. We'll see how much that ends up actually happening.
That said, having a non-melodic theme that basically exists to build up to the excitement of the TOS theme, paired with graphics of TOS props, is an odd meta commentary on Discovery as prequel. We'll get to the cool stuff eventually, but for now enjoy these adventures of wee Anakin on Tattooine.

That's the gimmick.
The show will have "space". The titles don't need to.
