No spoilers here...

Does it bother the hell out of anyone else that this show, after running the opening credits, shows a flashy preview of the entire show you are about to watch? What IS that??? Talk about spoilers! I am looking away from the screen and doing the "covering the ears and yelling 'la la la laaaaaa'" thing here. I hate that! lol

(Oh, and best to stay away from my other icons, there is one spoiler in there.)

No kidding! *shakes fist at credits makers*

We must find out who they are and toss them out the airlock.

It hasn't bothered me, since it goes by so quickly and there's no context, but I can see why it would bother others. Wouldn't miss it, though.

I don't mind one bit watching some long trailer for an upcoming motion picture, but show me two seconds of a TV show, a serial TV show, and I go insane.

I don't mind it too much, but it does seem to give away an awful lot of what's coming. What I do wish they wouldn't do is change the opening credit music for the American airing - the UK version (which my boyfriend downloaded) has real neat vocals and sounds very cool. I do like the American opening music, but the UK music is just awesome.

Ooooh, different music? Too bad! You are right. I have been watching the Skyone British episodes and the opening credits music is absolutely beautiful.

Damn.

Didn't ANY of you watch the original series? Either on TV or VHS or DVD? Or Buck Rogers, for that matter?

Every episode, before it began, had a little 'spoiler', a "here are a few scenes from this week's episode."

Homage, people. Homage.

[ohmyhead.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't care for it back then, either. Usually, homage is paid to GOOD things. It didn't make sense then, and it doesn't make sense now. And I should know. I have 14 degrees in television production and marketing. Not. lol

I watched TOS when I was a kid, but I don't remember that. It's been a long time. But, like I said, it doesn't bother me.

[djfanboy.livejournal.com]

Heh. been watching select episodes, like 'Fire in Space'. Still one of my faves, if a little implausable...

Didn't the original show have little flashy spoilery bits at the beginning? I always thought the preview was just keeping up a little "tradion".

Anyway it doesn't bother me at all. I just consider them to be teasing us.

[ohmyhead.livejournal.com]

Yes, I believe it did. It and many shows. I always thought that was odd. Nobody likes a tease! :D

[aryas_zehral]

I actually quite like it. You see a flash of something and you're not sure what it is and I spend the rest of the episode wondering what I saw so that when that scene does appear it's like "yey!" But hey, I can see why it could be annoying as hell.

Heh, yeah. I've been skipping right by it on purpose. The first time I saw it, I was confused; I thought they were previouslies.

[ohmyhead.livejournal.com]

heh Previouslies. Killer. :)
