/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I didnt know it was written for Patch Adams, but I did hear it long before Enterprise on the radio a lot.
And thank god they picked that one. It would have been weird if the theme song for Enterprise was I'm Too Sexy For my Shirt by Right Said Fred which is the only other logical song to use.
No, no. Too sexy!
That's the theme song for Trip
My rare non-OC, but contextually relevant.
I liked the first version. I remember them changing it later and not liking the change.
They also messed up the DS9 theme; it drove me nuts when they sped it up and added that horrible drumbeat that doesn’t stay synced up the whole song.
I thought the whole issue with the song was it not matching the tone for a ST intro theme. Why shouldn't someone like it in another context?
There is no reason to dislike this song.
I don't hate the song, but how in the fuck do you start a workout to that?
Maybe if you're starting with light stretching...
Or just warming up by staring across the Midwestern plains and soul searching...
Or getting motivated by rubbing decontamination goo on yourself, and a crew-mate?
I can’t not see a montage of biplanes to space shuttles when I hear that version
This is right up there with "zazu in the lion king was originally written to be voiced by Chris "Rimmer" Barrie" on my personal list of "shit that suddenly makes a wild amount of sense"
I like this song. I like the intro sequence. The show's writing was the only thing that disapointed.

Ooh, I never get to ask this question: Do you have a preference between the initial version and the season 3 version? I always felt like they changed it because they got the feedback "fans don't like the song" but they didn't really know what to do with that feedback, so they wound up with a rewrite that sounded almost, but not quite, exactly the same. But I am in the group that never really vibed with either so I find it hard to draw comparisons. Curious to get a perspective from someone who liked the intro.
I preferred the first by far. S3 felt flat and souless.
That tracks. It felt like someone at the show really liked the first version but someone at the network made them change it, so they were like "fuck it, put a tambourine under it idk" and called it good enough.
Better late than never.
perhaps Trip playing "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" whenever T'Pol came to do Vulcan accupressure was in hindsight a bad idea
