Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
1993–1999SyndicationSci-Fi
A title sequence that starts still and learns to move. The station hangs motionless in the early years; by the war it is surrounded by traffic, which is the whole arc of the show in ninety seconds.
Seasons 1–3
113sDan Curry's original: the wormhole opens and the station drifts, empty and quiet, to Dennis McCarthy's slow theme.
Seasons 4–7
115sRebuilt for season 4 — ships dock and depart, a workbee and suited repair crews appear, Michael Dorn is added to the cast cards, and McCarthy's theme is re-recorded at a faster, more martial tempo.
