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.

[–] CapillaryUpgrade@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

Only so I don't have to turn down the volume, and turn it back up when the episode starts.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.

Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.

[–] EndMilkInCrisps@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

The DS9 one really drags on. It's great but long.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, where's that option in VLC? (I'd probably skip if given the choice, I remember wanting to constantly with game of thrones but whoever I was with insisted on watching the entire 5 hours every time)

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, mostly, I mean why are they like 20 minutes long?! :D

Tho I don't always skip the outros.
