Should season 2 have a new title sequence?

[Philip Guyott]

Now I don’t hate the current DISCO title sequence, but then I came across this fan made trailer and I genuinely prefer it.

Would DISCO benefit from a more traditional title sequence?

What kind of title sequence would you like to see?

Do we even need a title sequence?

There's nothing like a good title sequence, and (can you see where this is going..?) sadly that was nothing like a good title sequence. I'd certainly prefer it be rejigged for season 2. Doesn't have to by ship flybys, but something a bit more relevant to the show and less odd.

This was basically Voyager's and Enterprise's title sequences combined. And the music used sounds like the on hold music for an insurance company or something. No thanks.

I like Discovery main titles for the fact that it is different from what came before.

Discovery's titles are Ok, but I'm not at all enthralled with the choice of music They came up with.

Give me something a bit faster paced and more melodic on the ears please.

 

[Hythlodeus]

nah, I like the Netflix-y title sequence. It's visual art and not just a clip show of CGI space with a ship flying by

 

[MFB]

I really like the visual style of the season one title sequence but I think they should change some imagery (the focus on props is odd) and I don't like the music. I would prefer a more energetic and melodic theme. So I hope they will change especially the second half of the titel sequence.

 

[Cyrus]

Keep it as is.

 

[Terok Nor]

Gawd yes! The titles seem to go on forever and are not visually appealing. I don't care how it's revamped just make it shorter!

Is it weird that I think the vfx in this video look WAY better than on the actual show itself...?

 

[mdtauk]

I think the imagery in the titles should change, now the Klingon war is not the focus, and the theme of this season is Faith and Science. The style of it should probably remain, even if it means those who dislike it, will still dislike it.

 

[guyute03]

I'd prefer a new one tbh.

now that you made me think about it, yes, yes it is weird that you think that

 

[Vger23]

As with most things regarding DSC, I like the title sequence because it is such a departure from the franchise norm.

So I'd say keep the style and the music. Change some of the images.

 

[Lewes]

The images do need to be changed as @Vger23 said, but the theme is actually really good in my opinion.

There is a lot to be said for tradition; it projects continuity.

Let's have a proper Star Trek title sequence instead of some meaningless pretentious-artistic images.

Maybe bring back the TOS-style ending credits too, for nostalgia.

The TOS-style ending credits didn't get further than TOS, so much for tradition and projecting continuity. Star Trek: Enterprise didn't have an instrumental theme song and instead showed progression of humanity instead of the starship Enterprise.

Discovery isn't breaking continuity, with its theme and the plot - but lets just stick with the theme for this thread.

Star Trek Discovery was made 50 years after TOS and 15 years after ENT. I'd say that we let it be what it is.

 

[INACTIVERedDwarf]

Think you might have misunderstood my post Lewes.

 

[Wulfsa]

No, every episode another producer or director is enough... so it was different every time.

The images actually do have to do with the story. I majored in Communication Studies with a Concentration in Mass Media and one paper I had to do in college was on mis-en-scene. I had to spend three pages talking about the symbolism of a frame of footage in a film and what it represented. 95% of what I wrote was total bullshit, but I made it sound good and backed everything up... so I got an A.

I'm not going to pull a lawman but take my word for it: when you see the communicator, the phaser, the bat'leth, and the Discovery travelling through what looks like all kinds of things, it represents different parts of the story. They symbolize specific plot points.

So, yeah, I think they should change up some of the images next season.
