As someone who knows almost nothing about Star Trek, you finally made a meme that I cannot comprehend on any level. Well done.

Star trek opening credits were always these expansive, gorgeous classical pieces. Highly aspirational, with intense, driving music but very grandiose.

This was the case for the first 4 star trek shows, but when the 5th show Enterprise premiered, a show about the federation leading up to the original series timeline, its intro was a country pop power ballad. Its still inspirational and driving, but it was a wild departure from the more cerebral intros that came before it.

People have...feelings about it.

Think “I love my blue jeans, I love my truck, l love my beer and America” style.

My wife dun died and my dog dun divorced me.

Still, there should be emphasis on the power in power ballad. I hate that song a lot, but at the same time it's such a powerful earworm that I love it.

It's a better version of the Armageddon movie song.

The quotes are parts of the theme song to Enterprise.

It was the only Star Trek show that didn't use a variant of the Trek theme song.

The show also had a rough start. But got good.
