I am waiting to see how Viodance manages to cover it. I don't envy her.
Spoilers The theme tune and titles. (Academy)

I‘ve been meaning to check out The Gilded Age since you mentioned it a while ago. Loved Downton Abbey and wonder if it‘s about as good. Unfortunately I don‘t have HBO Max.
I‘m inclined to agree. I genuinely love Russo‘s work on those individual scores, but he doesn‘t seem to be able or willing to compose a catchy theme tune. Or alternatively he‘s just not instructed to do so, who knows?
Yeah, it‘s blocked for me as well. @Akiraprise, which track is that?
I‘ll disagree with that, as I think all the scores that have been released for the Kurtzman era Trek shows have been really good and powerful listens. It‘s usually just the main themes that are a little lame.
^ Yes, it is. Didn't realize YT was region locking these. They're on Jeff Russo's channel.
I really like that one, yeah. Would definitely have made for a more upbeat title theme at least. The one I initially thought would be the main theme is track 12, “We Are Back”: It starts with a quick Sandy Courage Star Trek fanfare, and then it builds on a short and decently memorable melody that’s only briefly intercut by a quieter part in the middle.
I've been skipping it for the last 3 weeks. It's probably my least favorite theme of the franchise, and that includes Faith of the Heart (Which I kinda like).
For those that are interested (not sure if it is region locked):
The music is pretty meh. I feel like they were maybe trying to evoke the trek movie scores but it just sounds like a bunch of themes crammed into one. Very messy sounding and not memorable. They should have gone with a orchestral version of 'San Francisco'
i wonder if season 2 of starfleet academy is gonna have the traditional star trek captain intro speech
That only the three Enterprise shows have had. By now, we have more shows without a narrative than with, so I highly doubt it.
No narration in DS9, VOY, ENT, DISCO, LD, PRO, PIC and now SFA.
I'm not a hater of this show - but the title sequence really is the worst.
I'm an avid title watcher - even if I don't really like them. For me this is part of the experience.
This is really the only show where I skip the titles every time. Not the only Star Trek show. The only show.
Like I can accept bad music if the imagery is great (ENT). Or the other way around (TNG).
I don't like the DIS/PIC "ambient shopping mall music" & "generic prestige drama show" visuals. But they're at least watchable, and there's some design in there.
But whenever the first plant on SFA sprouts, and then turns into the first construction site - I want to scream "I GET IT" at the screen.
"HURRY THE FUCK UP". "How many times can you show me the same picture from a different angle, with the same sound?
Then I get frustrated, and annoyed, and skip it.
And that all in the first 5 seconds!

Happy to admit ive skipped the titles every week since 1x02.
Oh my word that works so well. I mean literally they are the same visual's if you'd asked Siri to find something similar to the SFA ones and Siri was having a bad day but still delivered.
I've been keen on the occasional bit of tune swapping ever since someone suggested that the Enterprise titles worked well over either The Calling's WYWG (which I think was in the running alongside Beautiful Day).
In other news: I've possibly played those Starfleet Academy titles over 30 times including in the car to try and learn them, but nope, still nothing.
Can we have these instead?
Or these
Or these
Or, these
See what i mean, all the musical beats hit at the same time lol
