On the internet it's forever

This is a 3am-sort-of-pain one must endure in order to see another episode.

(Dang skip-into not working every time)

LOL back in the 90s I thought up a prequel series like Enterprise, complete with opening music, which has never been played or recorded except in my own head. It's based on the intro to the TOS theme, played over a historical sequence very similar to what they cane up with. My version of the intro ends with a closeup of a bootprint on mars, zooming out to show that it's at the original Apollo 11 landing site, which is enclosed in a clear dome, with visitors on a catwalk gawking at it. As we pull back we see a long covered causeway connecting the dome with a much larger lunar base, with small craft coming and going, then the camera aims toward the stars and goes into warp. One of by bucket list projects is to create this opening sequence in a computer.

In my version the ship's doctor is an older Vulcan woman, who attended medical school on Earth to study human medicine and also human behavior. She is fascinated by how illogical human behavior can produce anything but chaos. She becomes a friend and sort of wise elder counsel to the captain. Their conversations give us insights into Vulcan history and culture. I forget how they handled the Vulcan mind-meld in Enterprise, but I would have had her it be mysterious or even unknown until the doctor reluctantly uses it to solve a crisis situation. The incident creates extreme mistrust among the human crew - can she read our minds, or even controll us? Are we her puppets? Earning back their confidence takes multiple episodes. I think this would have made a much more interesting character than T'Pol, and I was disappointed when they Seven-of-Nined her, but that's Hollywood.

The point is that there were no lyrics to the theme for the actual show. It doesn't matter that lyrics might have been written for it. This discrepancy is quite relevant because we're also discussing if the theme for Enterprise would have sucked less if the theme was the same, but only instrumental.

I didn't even have TiVo when it aired, so there was no skipping for me. It's been a long road.

At one point they improved it and it was pretty good, then season 4 they absolutely butchered it.

Faith Of The Heart filled me with me with hope and glee from the opening notes to the ending. It was a perfect companion to the deliberately un-Star Treklike opening, and showcased how different things were at the beginning.
