      The intro sequence completely slapped though. A Wright Model A taking off, Glamorous Glennis rolling away, OV-101 Enterprise being pushed out of the hangar, the Spirit of St. Louis taxiing out, Saturn V’s launching, LM Eagle’s gear check, Actual footage of Sojourner rover rolling up to sample a Martian rock making this the first sci-fi show to feature footage actually filmed on another planet, Bruce McCandless’ untethered spacewalk from Discovery, the International Space Station taking shape…it’s a shame an intro that fucks that hard was wasted on Bakula’s Enterprise.

      “We’ve built a new kind of apparatus and we are going to god damn mother fucking learn something even if it kills us in a new and exotic way.”

        I absolutely hated it when I first watched, but it grew on me so much that by the end of the series it was by far my most favourite intro. None of the others come anywhere close.

        The most recent ones are an absolute snooze fest only good for skipping
