I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can’t imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It’s part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?
I was just complaining that ds9 has a 90+ second intro… it’s just too much
I laughed so much when they lampshaded that in Lower Decks
Ransom: “Just keep circling.”
It’s a snooze-fest! Slow panning shots for 75 seconds until the wormhole opens briefly. Low-tempo, gentle music. You ride a slow moving elevator to arrive at the show’s content matter.
Usually, but I love the optimistic fanfare of the TNG intro, and it has a habit of drawing me in.
Even skipped it back in the days when we were recording TNG episodes on tape. Fast forward and a magical chant of ‘Gene, Gene, Gene…’ to ensure stopping at Gene Roddenberry’s name as it indicated the end of the intro
If it has opening narration, I don’t skip it.
I’m a sucker for that sort of pageantry.
For binge-watching yes. If I’m in the mood and it’s the one off occasion that I’m re-watching some old episode (or the newest one of the week), then of course not 😅
Yes, unless I haven’t watched in a while.
When streaming I do because I’m binging, but regardless of how I’m watching I will NEVER skip TNG intros. My god what a masterpiece, even the end credits are just a capstone to perfection.
I watch it is for like the first 5 eps and then I don’t. I wanna get to the action!
Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.
Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.
I’ll watch one when I sit down to watch, then I’ll skip it on any further episodes in the same watch session.
The DS9 one really drags on. It’s great but long.
never skip the ds9 intro; i’m too busy crying and grandly humming along.
I will watch the intro once.
I got faith
Of the heaaart
Usually, no, especially with DS9 (Even that crappy spread-up version with the cheap drum track tacked on top used after season 4.)
However, as I was watching Prodigy on my desktop, my behavior varied. For a while, I watched the whole intro, but my anticipation became too much and I began skipping right through it as I got through season 2.
