Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question “How did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ‘Where My Heart Will Take Me’ aka ‘Faith of the Heart’ become the title music for Enterprise?”

Also, after resisting melodic scoring in all the 90s shows, it turns out this was the music Rick Berman liked?!!

“…I, for one, can tell you that I thought it was a great opening and I’m not alone in that. I don’t think I’m in the majority, but I’m not alone."

And it seems the song does have its own subniche of supporters who share Berman’s view. (But not I.)

    I don’t hate it. I hate Nazis. I don’t hate the theme song from ‘Enterprise.’

    ¿Por qué no los dos?

      stubbed toe —> ENT theme song ---->\ 10K light-years \—> Nazis.

      Can’t blame someone for wanting to use appropriately strong words for appropriately strong feelings.
