The first time I heard enterprise intro I was like hell naw what is this trash. By time I got into season 2 I was vibing it hard. Then season 3 happened...
Just wait till you try to watch Charmed on a streaming channel (Pluto, Roku) and realize they changed the theme song. It's an entirely different song.
Side note: I've never seen the lyrics in writing, and always assumed that they were saying "I am the sun, I am the air." Y'know, cause they're magical.
always assumed that they were saying "I am the sun, I am the air." Y'know, cause they're magical.
In the original by The Smiths and the Love Spit Love cover (used in the show), the lyrics are both officially "son" and "heir", but the way they chopped up the song for the theme, they very well could have played on those being homophones such that the "theme" lyrics actually are "sun" and "air".
Basically backing up the premise of the show which was balancing magic and life.
I am the sun and the air [I'm magical]
I am human and I need to be loved [I'm also a person with a life]
At least that was always my take. Though I'd heard the original Smiths version before the show aired.
OTOH, The Craft ALSO used the Love Spit Love cover but without chopping it up, so maybe they assumed "sun" and "air" like most of us.
I also started with 9th, haven’t watched the original series yet. But I just got the first season so I’ll be watching it soon. I want to watch all of it.
Its basically the reason people think The Big Bang Theory is a good show. The brain makes stupid associations like "repetition = familiar = good = funny".
I wouldn’t say it was my favorite, but I watched all of Suits and I fucking hated that theme. I couldn’t get up quickly enough to skip it.
Most of the songs in that show, I couldn’t stand.
Compare that to now rewatching Samurai Champloo and I can’t get enough of this theme and all the music throughout the show. Except that one lady doing the really weird singing that sounds really off key lol
I only listen to it once during the show itself, then skip it every subsequent time. If I liked it enough on the first listen I'll add it to my playlist like any other song I like.

Enterprise I’ll never forgive them for that trickery
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 310d
I love how our first thought is the Enterprise theme. I loved it every time I heard it until it got changed.
Bojack Horseman theme was great each and every time I heard it.

Enterprise intro: Trash, always trash.
Farscape: Skip.
SG-1: Also surprisingly trash intro. Show is 10/10. Intro 1/10.

What kind of human being are you to skip the farscape intro?
Linktank@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 309d
I'm implying that the entire show is a skip.
lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 309d
Even worse. The show is great

Watched SG-1 first and couldn't handle the horrific downgrade.

UGH. They did that with House. Replaced Massive Attack with some generic bullshit

What’s your favourite version? Since they rearrange it every few years.
Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 298d
10th David tenant is so far my favorite!
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 309d
8th or 9th for me. 8th just feels epic. But I started Doctor Who on Netflix with Chris, so the 9th is nostalgic for me.
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 309d
I also started with 9th, haven’t watched the original series yet. But I just got the first season so I’ll be watching it soon. I want to watch all of it.

Tbf it only had like 12 episodes.
showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website · 2 pts · 309d
Yeah but I’ve watched the whole series like at least five times.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 309d
This thread is full of intros that I have no idea what they are. What show has 12 episodes? Getting that millennial FOMO
ikidd@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 309d
Watch Firefly and Serenity afterwards, you're welcome.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 309d
I'll save this and check
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 309d

multifariace@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 309d
I wish the shows I like had more than 50 episodes.

You guys listen to intro songs? 🤷♂️
bstix@feddit.dk · 6 pts · 310d
Listen to? No, I worship it.
The sitcom themes from the 70s and 80s are the dopest shit ever composed.
Theme from Taxi

I’ve loved both of Dandadan’s intros too. They were both extremely creative in their own ways.

Upvote for first anime reference. I really don’t have a favorite (anime opening). There’s just so many good ones that I can’t decide.
3D world? Definitely Firefly.
