[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] It's not a spoiler, so I'll just go with it. The ISS shows up *only* in the opening credits sequence of the show. As we know, the opening sequence features shots of historical exploration stuff through history. At the end of the opening sequence, we see a batch of "future history" stuff. This includes: -the assembly of the ISS (the last part of which we see in the picture here) -a futuristic space plane being released from an orbital docking arm -the Phoenix separating from its booster and deploying its nacelles (footage lifted directly from "First Contact") -Some early starship (which looks like a Star Destroyer from "Star Wars" with outboard nacelles) flying over a lunar landscape which is covered with colonies and stuff -the *ONLY* shot of the Pre-E, leaving Earth and flying into warp. The OP sequence carries with it a couple other CGI shots, including one of the "Deep Flight One" deep-submergence vehicles that (I think) is still being built right now, and a composite shot or two of US astronauts in space. I would point out that the OP sequence is the LEAST "Trekkish" of them all. The Rod Stewart clone's singing "Faith of the Heart" is a very different touch as well. Do I like it? I'd say yes, though the song could lose its Armaggedon-ish patriotism quickly. I have this horrible image in my head of a bunch of Trek fans at a convention spontaneously breaking into song, waving lighters around and whatnot. Yipe. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
