Every good show is made great by the sound track and music production.
Think of The Original Series, The Next Generation … even Star Wars or Indiana Jones or the movie Jaws … shows that were good but if you ever watched them, you can instantly identify them and appreciate them just by hearing the opening theme song or title song.
Most people don’t realize but one of our most strongest senses is our sense of hearing … it’s directly wired to our core animal instincts of fight, flight, fear and anxiety. It’s based on our old prehistoric animal ancestor brain that once lived in dark holes and lived in the dark … they had to rely on that sense of hearing to survive. I learned all this because this is the same mechanism that aggravates tinitus, ringing in the ears. When you worry or are afraid, your sense of hearing increases, then you start hearing a ringing, when you hear ringing, it makes you worry that something is wrong, do you worry more, the more you worry, the more ringing and on and on.
That same mechanism is why we love hearing music and theme songs so much … music is directly tied to our emotions and memory.

Every Star Trek theme is great. Except one. You know which one.

It appears that you lack faith of the heart, my dear doctor.

What I’m getting from there to here is that this thread is about to go down a long road…

It changes? Haven’t watched it since the early 00s, I’m on a rewatch now (nearing the end of S3) so I’m intrigued.

I actually preferred the original theme. The increased tempo of the second theme bugs me.

The Enterprise theme actually played over the end credits - was called “Archer’s Theme”
