Wait, is it a reference to the theme song? Because I'm definitely going to be skipping over that entirely every single time, I won't be revisiting that for old times' sake at all. Of all the things I remember most vividly it's how bad that intro is.

Instrumental isn't too bad.

There's also the alternate intro.

Pretty well put together trailer.

Kelvin trope with that shuttle, more Gorn, Rigel VII looks pretty much the same, live action LDS looks good, generally does a decent job of showing off snippets which look interesting.

It would've been nice if SNW was a 25th century show instead of another 23rd century in-between-quel, but I can't deny that I do generally enjoy it.

I have to admit; it grew on me. I tried watching it and was meh. Watched discovery and then found it made sense to me the next time I tried it.

The Pegasus was really weighing on Rikers mind. I've seen weight flux from stress, but dang son, gaining and losing 40 pounds over a few days is rough.
