    Any Star Trek fans that wander in here…if the theme had been an instrumental version, perhaps even orchestraed up, would you have been fine with it? A reminder that TOS had lyrics as well, mainly as a copyright thing to profit, but they exist. And they are far worse than Enterprise’s lyrics.

        Yeah, like that one better. The french horns remind me of James Horner RIP. A french horn is the signature sound for a starship in my opinion.

        The lyrics just made it a shock. I would have made a tweet like that back in the day, and have since come around on it entirely

          Probably because they made it even worse for the following seasons which made the original “not so bad.” Kind of like how people view George W Bush in a more positive light now post-Trump.

          Conversely, the only thing that got me through all of Enterprise was the invention of the Skip Intro button

            Playing semantics. If you want your head canon to be there never were lyrics at all, that’s perfectly justifiable, as they were created for money and never aired. They still exist though.

              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.

      It annoys me to be reminded about the lyrics to the TOS theme because they only exist to screw people out of royalty checks.

      The song was a banger, and it really warmed on me. When they changed it to an instrumental it sounded really stupid

      Someone archived Geocities, and I was able to find some of my old stuff by searching for my old username

        Key word is “some”. And it’s not someone, it’s a whole group of people. I was part of it.

        There’s still a lot missing. It was only because when geocities was going to get deleted, a large group of web scrapers pulled together to grab as much as possible.

        Then, we manually combined all of them to try to piece together this internet history.

        Things not crawled are gone. Things geocities have already been deleted before the announcement is gone.

        The worst part is Yahoo gave the heads up. Most hosting companies don’t. And many delete behind the scenes, like Photobucket if you don’t log in for a long time. Or forums when they stop paying the bills.

          I found everything I recalled posting to the page and no broken links, but my Geocities page was pretty flat, about two levels - index.html and files linked from there

          I think the “under construction” and web ring links were broken

          Cool, maybe my shitty warez site is still there. I just learned the absolute basics of html and essentially just stole links from other warez sites.

    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.

    When you post something on the Internet, it will stay there forever.

    When someone else posts something on the Internet, it will disappear off the face of the Earth by tomorrow.

    King of Queens had one of the most obnoxious intros as well. Couldn’t mute that shit faster when a sibling was watching.

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