Opening Theme...

Okay what does everyone think of the opening credits? I love the song Faith of the Heart. I think it does fit well with the show. However I wish they had done a Space, the final frontier.... v.o. For one thing I would get a kick out hearing Scott B. say the words. I didn't like the opening music for DS9 and Voy. I realize that neither of those shows took place on an Enterprise but I would have liked some other v.o. by Avery Brooks and Kate Mulgrew. It is a S.T. staple and I miss it.
As to the visuals I love them. I love the quick sketch of humanity's explorations in visual form. I love the pictures of astronauts from the 70's. I only wish they had included a picture of the Challenger crew. It would be a nice tribute to them.
What does everyone else think?

[> I like it too. The montage AND the song. Both of those things ties THIS "Enterprise" to our own time. It points up how close these folks are to "us". I find it rather inspiring. But like you, I kind of miss "These are the voyages......". -- MichelleB, 19:52:35 10/13/01 Sat

[> [> Love the song. I, too looked for the Challenger crew and was disappointed they didn't include them. But then I got to thinking that well... that WAS a failed and tragic mission. I'm sure they were trying to put more emphasis on the leaps forward and not the tragic losses - even though knowledge gleaned from those losses contributed to future progress. I'm rambling. I like the dog running around. How they got that dog NOT to go tinkle town I'll never know! LOL! -- Lost and Spacie, 23:15:16 10/13/01 Sat

I came to the board this afternoon to discuss the same topic (the theme). At first, I thoought I wouldn't like it because every other ST series had an original, instrumental theme. But after a few weeks, and a download of the lyrics, I realize that it couldn't be more fitting if it had been written for the show. Maybe a SB voice over would have been cool, but I think it would have been even cooler to have him singing the song. (Get the QL soundtrack -- it's definately worth it.) -- Emily H. (Obvious QL (and SB) fan), 13:05:41 10/20/01 Sat

Enterprise Theme -- Dr. TCH, 20:32:14 05/19/08 Mon

If you don't mind a question, what is it with the start of the ST: Enterprise theme? "It's been a long, long....."
