I understand that many people are quite enthusiastic about the music.
I am truly bored by it. My parter and our oldest GenZ both replied, “What music?”when I asked them what I thought at the end of episode 2.
Is there some deep American Millennial music preference that this is tapping into that none of our household quite understands?
I don’t know.
If anything, me and my younger sibling were actively annoyed by a lot of the show’s music choices, and modern show music in general. In both this show and recent Stranger Things seasons, they put music in every single moment, even moments that should be silent.
TBH this piece didn’t resonate with me at the time, but I have to admit it’s just about perfect, thematically.
I’m not a huge fan of the opening theme, but c’est la vie.
The opening theme was just weird! But I said the same thing about DS9 and Enterprise.
Now I love the DS9 theme. So maybe Academy’s will grow on me, too.
I didn’t realize this was an original recording for the show.

I had a funny feeling they were going to play this song, and I smiled when this cover started playing. I didn’t realize it was Rufus Wainwright! Good stuff.
