You might be a geek if…
you cry during the intro to Enterprise
Or does this make me a freak?
It’s just related to how seemlessly the Enterprise intro connects the beginning of our non-fictional Space Age to the Star Trek universe. I’ve always loved Star Trek because of the optimistic vision of our future that it broadcasts. Not just the technology, but the human aspect of that vision. Us… whole, constructive, and happy as a species.
Tonight my dad narrated the intro by saying “I remember that… I saw that… I remember that…” and then “you’ll see that… you’ll probably see that… ” refering to the footage of the moon-walks, the space shuttle, warp drive, and on.
But yeah… There’s more to looking to the stars than just space-travel… and (at the risk of sounding like the biggest chunk of cheese ever) *sings* “I’ve got faaaaiiith…!”

Don’t worry Emily. I’m one of the very few people who likes the Enterprise intro too. I don’t understand what everyone’s problem is. It seems to me that they want everything to stay exactly the same while at the same time not have it get stagnant. Oh well! I didn’t know that you like Star Trek. That’s awesome! I love it too!

Holy shit! It’s Jon! Howsit going?! *instantly adds friend*
I’ve not really heard much about this alleged hatred of the Enterprise intro… people really don’t like it? what do they say about it?

Hahaha! Yeah, it’s me. Sorry to just pop in out of the blue like that.
Anyway, yeah, plenty of people hate Enterprise in general, but even more people hate the intro with a passion. They hate how it’s got a “pop” song instead of just instrumental music as well as other aspects I’m not quite sure of. I don’t quite understand why, other than the reason I stated earlier.
Ok, so we should e-mail each other so that all our catching up doesn’t take place on your journal. My e-mail address is superjonman @ yahoo . com
