Tonight on CBS and CBS All Access, the long awaited and much anticipated
Star Trek: Discovery will finally premiere. While nothing much is known about the series - the review embargo lifts at the same time the show airs - the main title sequence to this new entry in the science-fiction franchise has been released.
The sequence and score put one in mind of HBO's recent
Westworld's opening credits with the almost blueprint like construction and display of inconography from the show. It's interesting to note that this is the first
Star Trek show to recieve an instrumental theme since 1995's
Star Trek: Voyager.
There's something affecting about seeing not only an extended main title sequence, but also just knowing that a new
Star Trek show is here, and if the quality of the opening is anything to go by what follows should be worth the wait.
Star Trek: Discovery will air September 24, 2017 on CBS and CBS All Access and then every week after exclusively on CBS All Access in the US and on NETFLIX around the world.
