Opening Credits?

If this ain't the theme, it should be:
opening theme music should be jono making the b'nar from "suddenly human":
I will always maintain that Jono was the only person who came aboard the Enterprise-D who had excellent taste in music. The "contemporary Talarian music" he listens to is great. I'll never understand why Jean-Luc got all upset about it. It's not "noise", Jean-Luc. It's MUSIC.
Someone wrote on twitter that its basically a new version of the TNG-Theme but an octave lower. If its also played slower and transposed /re-arranged to make it sound more solemn and dark..it could work...
<soft rock intro>
It's been a looong rooaad....
Gettin from there to heeeere.
No seriously, a really really long road,
I mean this guy is nearly a hundred,
I'm sayin he's really old guyssssss,
It's really beeen basically the looooongest road,
Like if a long roooaaddd was an inch,
Or I mean, like 2.54 cm, because its the future,
And a loong rooad was a couple cm,
Then this road would be like four km,
Because its a metaphor for aging,
You see, because he's soooo oooooldd...
But hee's got faith of the -
Ok, listen, you remember that episode about the Naussicans?
I mean the one with Wesley in the shuttle?
My point is he has an artificial heart, alright,
But he has faith of his artificial heart,
Going where the winds will take him,
Yeahhhhh...PICARDDDD!!!!!
<a ship goes to warp>
<fade to black>

It needs to be like the opening to the original Stargate movie, with the camera moving super slowly along a noble skull with not much hair, then it pans out so we can see Picard in all his glory.
Opening titles are so passé. Just give us a title card, three chords of music and get right back into the thick of things.
99% of us hit skip intro after the first episode anyway.

I guess I'm the 1% who doesn't EVER skip the TNG intro because... obvious reasons.
"main title (extended)" from the first discovery season one album is a really knockout piece, it doesn't have the sudden, loud star trek fanfare at the end like in the aired opening titles that i personally find totally annoying.
For network TV (where every second of runtime counts), yes. They're still quite common on premium cable and streaming.
Just a few seconds and still somehow insufferably boring. Yep, it's James Russo alright.
Ah, the cross-eyed pharaoh, as everyone on SG-1 would later refer to it as.
Title sequences are an art unto itself. That's something that seems to start becoming an almost lost art these days.
AMERICAN GODS, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, GAME OF THRONES, WESTWORLD... those are some examples of great sequences. Plus, it helps to set the mood and, in some cases like GAME OF THRONES, really tell a huge story all by itself by showing us how large that world is.
I get why network tv shows do less and less with them, but for a streaming show, we deserve a good intro.
