Season 5 opening credits.. WTF?

[FreddyE]

I can't even picture this. Are they online anywhere?

Can´t find anything. But to give you an idea...in its most simple form it would go like this:

Kirk and Co watching the viewscreen (scene clip from TMP)
Cut to Spock: "Fascinating"
Cut to Viewscreen with badly inserted station CI graphics and stuff saying "Star Trek The Movies 1 to 6"
Station Voice: "Mr Spock is right. The big Star Trek Movie Night on Sat1 Saturday from 20:15 onwards"
Cut to Spock on biobed (from later in TMP): "Is there nothing else?"
Station Voice: "Of course! We´ll follow up with Star Trek "Generations", airing for the first time on free-tv."
Cut to Spock laughing (From the start of the TMP biobed scene)
Cut to Viewscreen - Inserted Image goes to static
Cut to Kirk: "Khaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

I can't decide if I love or hate when documentaries do this sort of thing. The TNG docs on the Blu-rays do it too, but usually with one barely relevant line or scene.

Wasn't it done for Trek's 25th anniversary?

Yes.

 

[Crewman6]

^I'm really glad they didn't try to do a narrative...flair...like that for DS9.

But they did radically change the opening credits. The second version of DS9's theme was the aural equivalent of the streaky lines on TNG's logo. It was just too much.

 

[Crewman6]

"Find out next time, on STAAAAAAAAAAAR TREK:.....the next generation."

Love that guy!

 

[SolarisOne]

Love that guy!

I remember watching those trailers online in the early 2000s.

 

[MacLeod]

if it cost them $1000 dollars of 50 cents to do them, I'd rather they make a better alien costume or make a crappy cave set better

I'm sure if they spent extra money on crappy cave sets they the only outcome would be to make them even crappier.

Maybe a little bit, but seeing the station busy was great, and I can understand why they felt the urge to punch up the music even if they maybe took it a little too far.

 

[USS Firefly]

Did Voyager ever changed the intro?

 

[DonIago]

They had to do the credits swap for Kes->Seven, but I think that's as adventurous as they ever got.

What??

You don't remember the Brought to you by, guy?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is brought to you by Microsoft!

 

[Donald G]

Love that guy!

"TONIIIIIIIIGHT, on The LOOOOOOOOOVE BOAT."

For the first few seasons of TNG, "That Guy" was Ernie Anderson, the longtime voice of ABC Prime Time. After a few years, he was replaced as TNG promo announcer by Mr. Movie-Trailer Guy himself, Don "In a world" LaFontaine.

In a word where humanity has trekked into the stars...

 

[Tenacity]

after watching the credits a few times with each series i completely stop watching them.
