Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question ā€œHow did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ā€˜Where My Heart Will Take Meā€™ aka ā€˜Faith of the Heartā€™ become the title music for Enterprise?ā€

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

ā€œā€¦I, for one, can tell you that I thought it was a great opening and Iā€™m not alone in that. I donā€™t think Iā€™m in the majority, but Iā€™m not alone."

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

You couldā€™ve always muted the sound.

Thought the time honored tradition was switching to another channel to watch another showā€™s opener so youā€™d know what was going on when you switched there during commercial breaks. Just my family?
