Sounds like someone’s lost their faith… faith of the heart.
Man I really don’t get the hate for the intro, but I’m also biased. Started watching Enterprise after my kid was born, somewhere probably around 2 or 3. Anyway, putting him down for a nap was tough cause he had lots of energy, but if I just put on an episode of Enterprise he’d be out. Something about the intro just calmed him down and knocked him out almost immediately.
It’s an acquired taste. I think most people who enjoy ENT do end up liking the intro, but even then sometimes you do want to skip it. I also normally skip the “upbeat” into that they introduced later.
It’s not a bad song or anything, I just don’t like it at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It has the same effect on me.

It’s been a long road
Gettin’ from there to here
OG intro is great though.
so you’re saying …it’s a long road…to the remote
First season or two? Yes. Then it grows on you.
The second version is definitely worse, I don’t think that’s a controversial statement.
Skip Intro is the only thing that got me most of the way through Enterprise
Same, it’s just too American for my tastes
What’s funny is that it was written by Rod Stewart, a Brit.
It was written by Diane Warren and only sung by Rod Stewart for “Patch Adams,” the film for which the song was originally written.
Huh. Google lied to me. Go figure.
Don’t you ever scare me like that again
Well, how am I to know that this:
… is not to be trusted? Wikipedia, clears things up:
That’s the thing, it’s supposed to be Wild West in space. I always thought it fit perfectly.
The entire premise of Enterprise was that it was Humanity’s first foray into space outside our little backyard. The first Warp 5 engine gave Humanity the means to truly begin exploring.
The entire intro is about the journey and faith in that exploration. Going through Humanity’s history of exploration, through every Enterprise until you get to the NX-01.
I love the orchestral intros just as much as everyone else, but that’s just not the tone of ENT. It’s a perfect intro for what the show was.
I’m in the minority I guess then.
