It doesn't look like Trek. They aren't wearing PJ's with red, gold, blue, spouting Treknobabble, the Captain isn't hitting on women left and right, there was no annoying child prodigy, I saw no dying red shirted ensigns, no bumpy-forehead alien of the week, they had a vocal music track for the show (and decent at that), and the number one clue this isn't your average Star Trek: The Captain has hair!

So you can get all that from watching a promo from a show that will most likely go for many years? For all we know, Enterprise could slip back into the mould of what we consider the Star Trek norm after a few episodes.

I am defenatly feeling much better about this show now with this Promo , the music is cool its very "Creed" like and its current. The show doesnt look like trek its like a modern Scifi Show , very current and down to earth , I think this is what Star Trek needed , this promo has defenatly lifted my hopes for the show and i cant wait for September this can be in my opinion a new breeze for Network SciFi's Sails.

That is not the show's theme, nor is it incidental music from the show itself. Networks use pop music all the time for promos; we're just not accustomed to see it done with Star Trek. One promo comes out and all of a sudden everyone acts like Enterprise is going to have a rock theme. It's not.

Oh Of Course Not I know that , but what I'm saying is that the producers to appear to be taking the "Less Star Trek and More Modern" route.
The Theme may not be like the one in the promo but I'm sure wit wont be like the VOY or Ds9 Themes. They're probley going to take a more contemporary route with the theme and the in show music.

Over here, Sky did crazy adverts. The most memorable one was that their promo for season 7 of TNG had the song "Dedicated follower of fashion".
And ended with Riker's line to Worf "You look good in a dress". Nice. Not as good as Cartoon Network, the undisputed masters of the cool advert (their survivor piss-take is priceless), but Sky did several good Trek adverts. That I've completely forgotten. Although I'm pretty sure they used Robbie Williams "Let Me Entertain you" for DS9 once...

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Eh. We've had TNG promos set to the finale of the 1812 Overture here. On each "cannon blast," the Enterprise would fire photon torpedoes. It was kinda amusing.
