ENTERPRISE Theme Best or worst theme ever?

I like the first verison better it made me feel like I was reaching for the heavens. The remixed verision later in the series kind of sucked it sounds like a joke theme which reminded me of the remixed Next Generation Theme Patrick Stewart used for a show once what could be found here http://trekspace.ning.com/video/1977635:Video:103407

Let me know what you think

    I liked the theme... it along with the montage was quite fitting for humanitys evolution from sea faring ships to space ships !

    Now if only all of Enterprise was as good as its season 4 was.... :(

    I concur.

    The Enterprise theme was terrible. I believe it is responsible for Enterpise going off the air due to people not being able to get through the theme song without turning the channel.

    It wasn't until I was in Iraq with nothing else to do that I realized the Enterprise Theme didn't go "It's a long *click*"

    Agreed, TNG theme to me IS the star trek theme

    Enterprise was suuuuuuper -- I really shouldn't use words that make people upset or can be easily construed as homophobic because that's not cool -- in my opinion, I would seriously rather listen to justin bieber...

    I mean that, I hate that kid but if I had to choose which to listen to it would be the beib, again I can't stand that kid, I really can't stress that enough, I'm a metal head through and through but I would rather listen to beiber or loady gaga than the theme to enterprise, it was that bad for me.

    Agreed. I really loved the intro and the montage, it was showing how far humanity had come and then head out into space, I really don't understand all the hate it gets, I thought it was really well suited to the show.

    I'm in the very small minority that actually liked the Enterprise theme.

    It was different but I liked, it went well with the supposed theme of the series. Definitely not the best though.

    DS9 = Best theme.

    I love the theme, actually. One of my favorites. I don't understand the hate for it.

    I think the trouble most people have with the "Enterprise" theme was the fact that it was SOOOO different from the other Star Trek themes we were all used to. The fact that it had lyrics turned off alot of fans i know. Star Trek themes were epic, sweeping orchestral masterpieces that really put you in the mood to watch STAR TREK! The "Enterprise" theme sounded to much like a cheesy pop radio song to most people.

    Not the worst theme. Just different. It grows on you after a while.

    It sounded like a cheesy rock ballad from the eighties, so it fit the the series just plain bad.

    It was a nice song, just something I wouldn't want to hear as an opening for a Trek TV series. :rolleyes:

    I happen to like that song, but I can't say I think it was the best pick for the show.

    It was a good song - it wasn'r written FOR Enterprise, but it fit the theme extremely well.

    Of ocurse it can be good and still be the worst, there's only 4 other series.

    Removing nostalgia, the TOS theme is probably "worse" with the wailing choral melody, but of course its a classic soundtrack now.


    All of them pale in comparison to jerry Goldsmith's movie arrangements though, especially Enterprise in Spacedock (from TMP and the big reveal) and the First Contact theme.

    Hearing either one of those just strikes that nerve that takes me back to being that kid who desperately wants to be on that ship... out there. Its rare that music alone does that.

    I liked Enterprise's theme it was a different class of show. In the end TNG will always be my fav.

    I thought the Enterprise theme was ok. it got better ones they steped up the tempo some in the later seasons

    I think the best one was of the lot was the ds9 intro maybe the later one, I think it changed some after a few years. Don’t know if it would count but the first contact title/theme was good also. The one I hated the most was the tng intro music it was just loud and well loud there just wasn't much going on there it had all the subtlety of a 20lb sledge.

    This is the best theme. No further discussion needed. All other suggestions are not as good as this one. End of thread.

    Of course, I still think they changed themes at the last minute - Here's a fan made video of the opening with the original song we saw in all of the promos:

    Wherever You Will Go version


    And I agree that it really seems like the transitions and such were made for this song. Something probably came up at the 11th hour and they had to swap songs.

    But my favorite is this OTHER fanmade intro for Season 5 (which we never got :( )

    Fan-made instrumental version

    How awesome would that have been, with the new NX-01 Refit model being revealed?


    (And for your further Theme song edification: Seasons 1 & 2 -- Seasons 3 & 4 -- An Instrumental Version )

    It's disgraceful that anyone would think of associating Star Trek with this godawful song. Please don't dirty the forums with it ever again.

    This might've made Enterprise slightly more worth watching.

    as others have said what they disliked wasn't even nesscarily the music, but the unnesscary break with tradtion. something I'm convinced was intended from the start, to try and "ditch the star trek baggage" (rememebr the show was originalled called "enterprise" with no star trek in the name)

    Exactly! J.J. Abrams didn't "ditch the Star Trek baggage" and kept with the epic orchestral music and we all saw what an enormous flop Trek XI was.

    Oh... wait.

    I didn't associate it with Star Trek, UPN did when they created trailers and commercials for Enterprise using it.

    But okay, I promise I won't.

    Definitely not the Enterprise Opening Credits Feat. Wherever You May Go

    Oops.

    I know it wasn't your idea. I was calling for people to man the harpoons at UPN, not you.

    speaking of ent intro did anybody else ever think the planet es intro was really similar. I guess its just the imagery really since a few shots look like they were lifted from ent. not that the es one was bad I think its better to be honest.

    Not everyone watches Anime'. Besides that, it's just a common idea in Sci Fi to show a montage of real achievements in space exploration.
