Is it only me who doesn’t like the new style of the theme song for Star Trek: Enterprise? I think it is too lighthearted and not uplifting enough. I always have a lump in my throats whenever I watch the old version. Now, it is just comical. Why, oh why, did Rick Berman and Brannon Braga change the song?

I agree! it’s “nice” but after getting used to the old version (man I was one of the folx who HATED IT initially) the new one is just woos-ey.
the old one made me feel like I believed in spaceflight and space adventure again, despite NASA, the militarization of space, etc.
go old ENT theme!!! ;->

I will agree with you that it is mushy-“r”. It would seem that as the stoyline changes, so should the music (though i would have prefered a darker theme song to fit the darker stoyline).
BTW, I find myself correcting a lot of people about this; the name of the show. It is Enterprise. Not Star Trek: Enterprise. They deliberately left out the “Star Trek” nomiker to differentiate from the other shows. I keep telling people, THIS IS NOT STAR TREK! It is Enterprise. That’s why the theme song is not the usuall orchestrations. That’s why it seems to be so cheesy to many trekkers. I love it for what it is: the story of Human growth and development. The new adventure that it is.
Call me wierd. Call me a bad speller. Just don’t call me late to watch Enerprise.

Sorry, the old one was depressing. I felt that it did not succeed in being uplifting either. The new one is still not uplifting, but at least it’s not sad.

I agree with you. The new lite-Rock version has to go.

You people must not be real trekkies! Let me tell about how The Enterprise finally got into space. The dream of one man who for years, thanks to the Vulcans, was not able to launch his ship because “we” (humans) were not ready. If you listen to the words, you would realize the song is revelant.

I agree. The new theme sucks. I was just getting used to the rather patriotic version when this trailer park version is thrust on us. As Capt. Quirk pointed out, it’s a darker story line and therefore deserves a darker piece to start the show. On another note, there is only mention of the HMS Enterprize, but no mention of the other wonderful ships of the Royal Navy: Columbia, Discovery, Endevour… Ring any bells anyone? And also, I think the Russians put people and objects into space before the West did… Let’s be more world centric than US-centric pleez :o)

Star Trek has always been USA-centric.. the whole idea behind it is rich in American idiology. Not syaing that’s a bad thing but why would they change that now?

There is no mention of other RN ships because this TV series is called “Enterprise”? 🙂

With you all on this one. The new Muzak version of the theme song stinks: “I’ve got faaa-ith of the heaaart ” Sheesh!
Even Picard would have ordered the Enterprise to head away from this musical anomaly at Warp 9.
