I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can't imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It's part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?
I'll watch one when I sit down to watch, then I'll skip it on any further episodes in the same watch session.
Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.
Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.
Usually, no, especially with DS9 (Even that crappy spread-up version with the cheap drum track tacked on top used after season 4.)
However, as I was watching Prodigy on my desktop, my behavior varied. For a while, I watched the whole intro, but my anticipation became too much and I began skipping right through it as I got through season 2.
Yeah, mostly, I mean why are they like 20 minutes long?! :D
Tho I don't always skip the outros.
