Yea ... me too and many others. It's the proof that they missed the mark with the show's presentation. Many thought it wasn't actually Trek and something had gone wrong. I thought it was a cheap rip off. And sure, maybe we all had expectations we were too stubborn about, but by the same token, you have to meet your audience where they are. TNG, as I understand, was mindful that they had to get the older Trek fans, and Enterprise should have been mindful that they basically had to do the same and find the middle ground between everything being new and it still feeling like Trek.
Literally starting off with that theme was the wrong move. It's out of place, and for many of us, Country music is an awful cringey genre while classical/orchestral is far more universal. Stay with the orchestral theme and you would have us at least past the opening credits.
@maegul It’s especially puzzling because they had a great theme song right in front of them - and they stuck it in the end credits!
Ha, yea it wasn’t bad. Not sure it would have worked well as an opening theme, but, clearly IMO better than what they went with.
