  • Trip didn't really die. It was a hologram program. Read the book "The Good That Men Do" to find out what really happened to Trip Tucker.

  • CHRONO CROSS <3

  • Nice concept. Only one problem. Trip died in the series finale.

  • Nicely done :) warp6 ENGAGE. Well I figured they would have got it by then ;)

  • who said the show was canceled because of the intro?! what a BULLSHIT ... the song was great ... t was canceled due to too low quotas ...

  • @SecurityEscort I always like Faith of the Heart but I didn't think it fit the show anymore after season 2 going into season 3. The show became much darker and lost that optimistic edge with the Xindi arc and even in season 4 when it got back to it roots it still had a darker more jaded feel than how the show began with its first 2 seasons.

  • @midgetninjapenguin I kinda have to agree on that one, I must say personally I prefered season one and two, season 3 was also good...but on those days where you want to sit down and just watch an episode of enterprise you usually wont go for season 3 because in a way its all like one big episode...Season 4 is still good, but I think to many double episodes for me, only 2 or 3 single episodes in the whole season, but love your video and the music choice, if you ask me ent is just as good as TNG.

  • Actually, I love the Faith of the Heart intro...was perfect for the series....but if there was going to be further seasons, I agree that maybe it was time for a change to the intro.

  • Not really appropriate for the show, but still an improvement on the shit that actually made it into the intro.

  • this intro is really stupid and only captures 1/1000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000th of the show.

  • Until now I didn't know who some of actors played because on the intros they didn't say who they played, unlike on the other Star Trek Series intros they just said the actors names NOT the characters I never liked that.

  • I hate your intro music more.

  • nah i dunno i actually like Faith of the Heart

    but anyway well done man

  • I think furing the whole Xindi arch, people lost interest and viewership fell.

  • "Faith of the Heart" is the best intro sequence Star Trek ever had.

    Your Intro is very cool and i know it was hard work! Nice Job! But note this: If you choose a song for a SciFi series, take one with a strong melody which reflects the incredible size of an unending space and the deadly adventures this starship survives. It's phenomenal, it's giant! So choose a giant instrumental song! (Bad: Andromeda Season 1 Intro. Good: Andromeda Season 2-5 Intro, VOY & DS9 Intro).

    However: Good Job!

  • @LarsSW how could anyone NOT like "Faith of the Heart" theme song, it captures the spirit of star trek and humanity brilliantly, the theme song alone got me watching Star Trek again cause i stopped after Deep Space Nine,but if the theme song was made by lady gaga or justin bieber it would be called a masterpiece

  • I really liked the intro song faith of the heart song, there was nothing wrong with it at all. But really wish they didnt cancel the series it was still star trek no matter what you want to call it, it can't be the same thing every single series otherwise its gonna get nowhere but is a big shame it got cancelled and FireFly is another these 2 shows should of stayed on!!!

  • I like the original ENT song theme as much as I like the show, but this fan intro is really good even if the instrumental piece isn't very sci-fi.

  • OMG!!! You love Enterprise??? Thumbs way down!!!!!

  • this is a gd vid except for the music would have been better with faith of the heart

  • SirDomblesan wrote " I actually like Rod Stewart's Faith of the Heart song. " I was under the impression the theme was by Russell Watson, having not watched it for ages, you got me worried, so i went to the ubiqitous Wikipedia, and it says "It was also the first such theme not to have been composed specially for Star Trek, having previously appeared (performed by Rod Stewart) in the film Patch Adams (1998)." now I didnt know that, so i shall now go and find the "original" version some time.

  • The problem with Enterprise, as well as Deep Sleep Nine, Voyager, and to a limited extent, Next Generation was that they didn't have what the original Star Trek had. Bigger-than-life characters and intelligent story lines. You can laugh at the acting styles in the original, but you have to admit there was more drama. And about 95% of the subject matter was college level or above.

  • @USSLexington1709 Very well stated. The TOS episodes were, for the most part, substantive and full of allusions to mythology, literature, and religion. TNG was too full of Wesley & Worf.

  • @landline00  LOL! Exactly!

  • @landline00 You are perfectly right. Kirk, Spock and McCoy spoke about ideologies, societies and autodetermination, put in discussion the Pime Directive and qouted literature more or less in every episode, and sometimes that honour went to Scotty and Uhura too. Several episodes were also named after quotation from Shakespeare or the Bible. In my opinion ENT had the right characters to do it again, but we all know what actually happened.

  • @ilania95 All true. I believe the major issue with the sequel series is that they were about 'Star Trek' and not about much else. TOS used the medium of Sci Fi to address social issues that couldn't be so easily addressed in that era. Even an epp like "The Enemy Within" was not primarily about a transport malfunction on a starship in the 23rd century. In other words, the sequel series took TOS too literally and too often dealt with the metadata of Trek and miss the point of the series entirely.

  • @USSLexington1709 Another problem I found with the other spinoffs is that they didn't feel like that we were exploring, or really exploring unexplored territory. Not just in recycled stories, but the concept of going out there and seeing what's new was waning a significant amount.

    At least when good ol' JJ brought forth Star Trek 11, at least it felt like unexplored territory. We no longer know what's next.

  • I loved all the episodes that weren't about Suliban or Xindi. I only liked a few episodes about the suliban and xindi like the one with the nazis, the xindi colony planet with an ore refining plant, the prison for suliban and the one where the captain goes on holiday and falls in love with a spy who is after the suliban. That said, I am fair and impartial, but most of the xindi and suliban episodes were horrible and I had to stop watching. It's fair to say this is why it was cancelled.

  • I just dont think this suites for Enterprise, the season 1 theme was enough to make me cringe and want to switch off the show.

  • I loved the intro of enterprise more than any other series of the startrek family .... love russel watsons "faith of the heart" from then on ... I really appreciate the "new touch" enterprise brought .. and it continued with the new startrek movie ...

  • What is the instramental theme that you used? I'm still new at this so if you posted it somewhere please forgive my ignorance. If not can you send me the name of ithe peice. Thanks and Good work.

  • Nice One!

  • Great!!!

  • Much better than faith of the heart however being a hardcore trekkie I still say that this series sucks.

  • wht song is tht?

  • @markaous1212 its called "Scars of Time" from the Playstation 1 game "Chrono Cross". It was in the intro movie for that game.

  • Comment removed

  • I quite liked the video and music, very well done.

    It was a shame they finished enterprise. I thought it was the best of the star trek franchise

  • the music was terrible i actually muted the video so i didn't hurt my ears

  • The U.S.S TOP A TA MORNIN TO YA

  • star trek: belfast

  • Yep...I truly that tune. I recognize it anywhere. That song is from the introduction to Chrono Cross, the sequel to Chrono Trigger. I just never knew what the name of the song was...NOW I know. Thank you. All in all, not a bad video, but the song makes anything let alone Enterprise that much better. Its a amazing after all these years that song still gives me goosebumps.

  • Liked the clips of the actors and/scenes, but hated the music choice.

  • This intro is not start trek like actualy...the music at begging is good but just for 20 sec and then video of acters ruins that and music crush the felling..

  • With all due respect, this song choice is even worse than 'Faith Of The Heart'. It sounds like something out of Lord of the Dance or some shit like that.

  • Faith of he Heart is an o.k. song, it's just not good choice for a Star Trek theme. Especially when you consider all the others were instrumental. Personally, I would love to see a Star Trek show that uses the theme from "First Contact", as it's main theme.

  • lol this is worse than Faith of the Heart.

  • beautifully done and far superior to the show's actually opening.

  • @surfingthechaos yo, do you make series or movies ? i highly doubt it. if you don't like reading our comments maybe you should just gouge your eyes out with a spork. also how do you know that the opening theme song to Enterprise was canceled due to faith of the heart ?

  • @ShavedPinkTacoLover Yes I am currently involved in the production of a series called "Shut the fuck up". We are having a casting call on Friday at Luigi's. Just keep following squirrel road until you see the Home Depot and then take a left at the next stoplight. You can't miss it.

  • @surfingthechaos go to Wikipedia's site regarding Enterprise series and it will tell you why happened to the series.I feel your series will be a flop do to the obscene vulgar words in the title. We don't have a Home Depot in Egypt. We have the Temple of The Three Kings thou. I like to ride my camel between the three camel humps.

  • Comment removed

  • @surfingthechaos You are wrong. What lead to the cancellation was the opinion of many close minded people who dont like nor accept change. The song had nothing to do with it.

  • @2LucasKane3 They weren't closed minded. It just happens that most of the changes sucked. The most prominent example being the theme song.

  • the song for this is all wrong should have sticked with the much favorite where my heart will take me this just didnt feel like enterprise

  • Interesting new look for the Star Trek: Enterprise intro. :).

  • I'm sorry to say but the music of this video is much worse than "Faith of the Heart". Which I happen to like, btw, because I think the lyrics really work for the series.

    And as much as I appreciate changes to certain concepts, showing the characters together with the name of the according actor makes this intro a wee bit ordinary (let's face it: Most TV series do it). No Trek series went there before, and I think for good reason.

  • Actually now adays, a lot of shows I have seen just skip the opening song entirely. They show a little title logo and then show the actors' names as the show goes.

  • oi! i like it!!!!!!!!

  • For everyone asking, It's the theme from the PS1 game "Chrono Cross"

    The song is called: Scars of Time.

  • @corhellion

    Mixing Chrono Cross and Star Trek Enterprise, I don't know.

    I guess today everything goes. lol

  • Though I actually LIKE "Faith of the Heart", this is a nicely put together intro. Well done !

  • No. This theme is just as unfitting as "Faith Of The Heart".

  • "It dumps the much hated 'Faith of the Heart'"

    Sorry, but I disagree. And this song doesn't work.

  • Hmm. Sounds like a Gypsy Polka from Hungary.

  • I'm sorry no ... changes our minor between seasons ... that's just too extreme.

  • Season5 would of had archers theme and Archer saying his "Space the final frontier"

    It would of ended with "To Boldly go where no HUMAN has gone before"

  • The music sounds like something I'd hear at a middle eastern hookah lounge, LoL! :-D

  • It just dosnt go BUT yet somehow it works

  • Its good but its in a way abit strange but its realy

    well done

  • Where'd you get the theme? it's cool.

  • Very Well done, cool song and good clips. Nicely put together! Cheers!

  • I agree they should have kept going since even the orginal had other ships and even STNG why not a few more?from Earth? I never lost interest in it. I hope all Star trek people here this and see it

  • Much hated "Faith of the Heart"?

    I loved song.

  • Is that music from Chrono Cross?

  • WTF?!?!!?

  • sounds irish to me

  • Nice presentation.

    I guess this also depends on "what if" Trip hadn't died and actually made it to season 5.

    Curious - what's the song?

  • He did'nt die....He joined Section 31;) Its canon;) Go to Memory Beta's Website and you'll see he lived:D

  • No need to look at the website. I read the same book last year.

    However - its been said time and time again that the books are not to be concidered "canon." Only what happens on screen - big or small - is the real "history."

    Until i SEE otherwise, Trip, sadly, is dead.

  • The books are not canon, though. And Memory Beta is for all things non-canonical, too, so pointing someone to that website for canonical information is just pointless. =P

  • He would have been in season 5 anyway, because the last episode was set years after season 4.

  • The thing is... according to TATV, Trip died in 2161, which would have been season 9 or 10. Only in the novel did the events of TATV occur in 2155.

  • Love the image sequences you choose, has the best moments of each of the characters I think.

    however, I think Archer's version of the 'Enterprise Tune'(the one used in the Orginal Series and Next Generation) would be better audio.  It leaves room in the instrumental where I think this video would fit perfectly

  • Very early-90s, with the silent clips behind and the names appearing. To echo the views of some others here, I don't think that music fits a show like Enterprise - it'd fit much better to a show with elves or set back in medieval times.

  • the only reason why they choose the faith of heart cause. the vulcan didn't beleive they were ready for space exploration, then jonathan archer took his father ship and put it too warp against his orders

  • I like the "HATED" song as well, this one won't work because it doesn't makes you feel anything about space (more like indians or jungle stuff..).

  • Yeah, the much "HATED" song fit the show much more. The tone of the song was just right to a species just making its way out into deep space with the first warp 5 engine. They needed faith of the heart to be able to do all that they did.

  • I think the song is AWESOME!!!

    --- On Opposite Day!!!

  • Much hated? by who?

  • @JohnZaun There were quite a few fans who hated the opening song for Enterprise John. I personally liked it!

  • @Tony211169 So did I although I thought it a bit odd to use a song rather than an instrumental intro to Star Terk I've kind of gotten used to it and I quite like it for the show now

  • @JohnZaun by all

  • @JohnZaun I dont like it, sounds like Folk music "Folk Trek" Hippies in space

  • @yellowpete79 What's your basic complaint? Do you just dislike Folk music. Actually it has a more nuanced flavor to it and would be in the "World" music end of the spectrum and not in the Folk tradition.

  • @JohnZaun me

  • That song makes "Faith of the Heart" not sound so bad.

  • Wrong type of energy...

  • Horrible.

  • FOLK TREK: Enterprise *LOL*

  • this is way better than the crap they used

  • This sounds like some latino shit. Belongs in a freakin western at least the lyrics of FOTH were appropriate.

  • sounds like Firefly, my favorite show

  • Hey man, This is Chrono Cross. Best RPG ever. Don't be hating.

  • I like the " hated" faith of the heart song but I've got an aversion to Star Trek

  • That's holy shit, really good!!

  • River Dance, lol.

  • Not bad at all!

  • Lol im sorry is this a joke or something? I just sat through this whole 'what if?' intro and just laughed my pants off. Please NinjaMidgetPenguin, go back to school or media class and actually pay attention to music that might just go with the video. Pathetic.

  • if it followed pattern the fifth season could have been ok

    but this music is more suited to Firefly than Enterprise :P

  • I like the idea of a fifth season and beyond, rather than the bullshit treatment got from our pals Berman and Braga, but WTF is with the music. YIKES, sounds like a goddamn river dance in space.

  • Nah. I'm just not feeling it. There's too much violin soloist, and not enough French Horn. Good for other stuff, but damnit, trek intros always had a strong brass section! the rest of it feels a little too much like a Babylon 5 intro.

  • Oh dear, the music sounded like it was from 'Riverdance'. I think everyone hated 'Faith Of The Heart' at first but, just as it took time for Trek fans to come to respect 'Enterprise' and Captain Archer, many came to love 'Faith Of The Heart' in the end. It took me years. But I love it now and I really miss 'Enterprise'.

  • ", many came to love 'Faith Of The Heart' in the end. "

    you speak lies. pure lies... 'Faith Of The Heart'  makes me want to vomit

  • Faith of the heart was much better.

  • I actually do really like this, the song feels kind of epic in the exploration sense, and that is what Enterprise was indeed about, humanity's first steps into "the Final Frontier"

  • whats the song?

  • Chrono Cross Opening Song.

  • Never have I felt so robbed as when Paramount announced no season 5.

    So much storyline and Federation history lost because of ratings statistics. Paramount you should be shamed of yourselves

  • The show had a lot of potential, but much like Voyager it wasn't meeting most of it. It's cancellation gives Paramount and the Star Trek community some time for soul searching so that when Star Trek hits the small screen again, it might be way better.

  • I liked your music selection. I felt a lot of dramatic tension and felt like the theme was going somewhere. Very nice work on this. I was ok with faith of the heart, but my favorite theme was DS9.

  • Chrono Cross theme hmm? it's different.

  • seriously people I really want to know what this song is called...

  • FIDDLES? In a Star Trek theme? WTF???

  • Hey, fits a little better with the whole "cowboy diplomacy" thing the show was going for.

  • whats this song?

  • Sorry, the song makes me have the impression that Star Trek: Enterprise seems like a Western show and while I may have liked your montage of Enterprise clips, that goes against Trek opening tradition. Plus, I actually like Rod Stewart's Faith of the Heart song

  • Excellent job. I thought Enterprise had establish the credentials of a "Gene Roddenberry" Star Trek adventure. Felt bad when Enterprise was canceled.

    A TOS TV viewer when they were new.

  • Like it or not, FAITH OF THE HEART is the Enterprise theme, and it always will be. To change it is like changing the themesong of one of the other Trek shows... You just don't do it.

  • What's with the Riverdance music?

  • to old school makes it look like it came from the 70's and crudy music

  • That music is worse than Fait of the Heart

  • pretty cool

    little gimmckey tho

  • i love faith of the heart

  • lol i like how you show everybody fighting except for travis which is probably the most ripped person on the show

  • Nothing was wrong with Faith of the heart, it fitted perfectly with the show, perhaps some people just don't like change.

  • dude i loved Faith of the Heart

  • I like the video, but the Chrono Cross theme seems silly.

  • It would have gd if you found out who the Future Guy actually is. Lets speculate...

  • Let's not! :P

  • I like it personally. It makes it seem like the episodes would be a bit more personable and less SAVE THE UNIVERSE DRAMATIC.

    More Firefly, less Lord of the Rings! lol :P

  • I don't think the music really fits in with what the series was originally about. Enterprise was about the beginning of human colonisation and exploration beyond our own Solar system, and the theme for the first season portrayed that. This music sounds more like it would fit with some fantasy world, of knights and dragons et cetera.

  • Sounds like something they play on the overhead speakers at Olive Garden.

  • I love the music! Gives it that action/adventure feeling

  • As much as I like Chrono Cross, this makes it feel more like some action show, rather then Star Trek.

  • pretty cool!

  • hmm- I think of Deadwood when I hear it, lol.....

  • this is kick ass man i love it!!!!!!!

  • wtf music???

  • Enterprise was a cop out from its very conception. They needed to go further into the future, say the 30th century. Star Trek could have gone to the next level with some imagination and fresh thinking rather than clawing over the remains of the once great. The original Star Trek now seems quaint but at the time it was pushing the boundries. Any new star trek series should do the same. It should push our understanding of what is possible. We (the viewing world) are surly ready for better & bolder

  • "Forward forward ever forward" is probably the stalest, least interesting series premise being offered today. Enterprise had its flaws, yes, but its premise had the greatest potential of any Trek series since TNG.

  • Enterprise could have been good. But it would always have been limited by what we know comes next. Forward is only stail if the wrong people write it. It can be what ever can be imagined. TNG was always looking forward. Was that stail? I'd like to see a new series of trek that is closer to BSG. Grity and dark. A trek where the differance between good and bad are not so black and white. A more grown up view of the future.

  • You mean DS9?

  • DS9 was a big disappointment to me.

  • I would like to see the people who do BattleStar Galactica do a new star trek series. We all deserve proper grown up sci fi.

  • They did. It was called... Deep Space Nine.

    Srsly. Ronald D. Moore was Executive Producer on both shows.

    You receive the BCSWowbagger Ironic Chuckle of the Day.

  • DS9 was shit.

  • If you want to know a truely great piece of grown up sci fi you're gonna have to read it. Either Greg Bears Eon or Alastair Reynolds Absolution Gap.

  • Hey, all I'm saying is that the people you claimed wrote "proper grown up sci-fi" and who should do a new Star Trek series are the very people who already made DS9. If you got your wish, the resultant series would be... DS9.

    I'm not making any valuative claims here, although I think the "X show needs to be more like Galactica" fad is, 90% of the time, just lazy thinking. Yours had the added benefit of being ironic.

  • Lazy thinking is assuming the only result would be DS9. Ford made the Model T. Technically the same people are now making much better products because things have moved on. Why are you so sure of such an odd idea? I suggest improvement is needed and you say "It'll only turn out like DS9". All star trek series have followed the same ethos: Keep it simple so the plebs can follow it. Proof lays within the pilot program for star trek. It was deemed to inteligent. This has been its strength.

  • But what I'm suggesting is the time to expect big budget series that are aimed at millions to remain the main outlet for sci fi is coming to an end. Its constantly becoming easier and cheaper to produce niche material aimed at smaller audiances. This, I hope, will result in much more thought provoking and inteligent sci fi instead of redoing and redoing the same old plots again and again. To go further into the future should meen there are no barriers as to what is possible.

  • Umm... okay. I want thought-provoking and intelligent science fiction, too. In my opinion, both DS9 and BSG are exactly that.

    But that wasn't what you were discussing earlier. You were discussing "going forward", which is just a gimmick. Truly great storytelling in the Trek universe can take place in -any- timeframe, as long as it's intelligent and thought-provoking.

    And you continue to appear oblivious to the irony of your statements, which, really, is quite entertanining.

  • I agree with you that good stories can be done in any timeframe, but what I'm saying is if you go further into the future the scale of the story can be much greater. One of my favourite series is the foundation books by asimov, and my current best story is the Absolution Gap as I've already mentioned. I think a story that spans tens of thousands of years (or more)introduces new aspects that mer centuries can not provide. Space being as big as it is sci fi stories need to be bigger.

  • I don't see how you can say forward is a gimmick in sci fi when predicting the future has been scifi's main driving force.

    Anyway, wern't you a bowl of pertunias once? :)

  • Going forward from the present is important in sci-fi. Once you've done that... the "future" is little more than a great amorphous blob for us to paint our prophesies and stories on. It makes no difference whether Trek is set fifty years from now or fifty thousand, so long as it is in the future. Pronouncing that it needs to go to the 29th Century instead of the 23rd is... yes, I think it's a gimmick.

    To your other point: I, too, loved Foundation, but I don't think it make good Trek. IMHO.

  • And I'm afraid you've mixed me up with Agrajag. However, rest assured that I think you are a worthless knee-biter and a real jerk. I thought you should know that before you went. ;)

  • Yes I realised my mistake about wowbagger. Which one was he? As a guide fan what did you think of the new movie? As for the future of trek: You might be right. I'm just saying what I'd like to see. I'd like to see a trek where the federation has evolved into something between Q and the borg. Maybe we can agree that trek has been the most influential sci fi series ever? I hope it does come back in some style at some point. I'm not a real jerk! I'm a fake one :)

  • Wowbagger was the one who insulted the universe, in alphabetical order (I don't really think you're a jerk; I was quoting. :))

    I think we can both agree that (1) Trek rules hardcore, and (2) Trek should--and will--be back.

  • That was it :) I loved the idea of him. And his poor computer.lol. I must read it again soon, its been years. As for Trek, I am looking hopefully forward to the new movie next year despite what I've already said earlier. I suppose as long as enough of us keep going on about Trek it can't die. Picard Rulz :)

  • hell yeah chrono cross music!!!

  • Aye. You rock for knowing that!

  • Wonderful Job! Thanks! I hated when Trip dies in the finale too, and it hinted that he and Jolene's Vulcan never got to fall in love. Bummer.

  • Wierd, but cool 70's-style way of restyling an intro in typical fashion, to revive something dead... (NOT that Enterprise was!!!!!!!) Music sucked though. Sorry... I'll have to pass. Paula?...

  • Very well done. And I totally agree, Faith of the Heart sucks.

  • no you suck... faith of heart was twice as good as this shit and had a meaning this crap was made by a 55yr old in his basement

  • what meaning?
