I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can't imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It's part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?

Yes I actually think DS9 has the best intro overall... but it is also the one I skip most often for the reason you give.

I just love when the station appears on screen so small, alone in deep space with the lone french horn playing... then suddenly it flashes up close! And we see a flurry of activity! It reminds me of a whale fall or some other deep sea island of life.
