Earlier today, we were discussing the new credits for The Shannara Chronicles, and it got me thinking: what opening credits did I really enjoy watching? I have to say that for me?

We expect a lot from Syfy, because it’s the only cable channel devoted to science fiction. So it’s inevitable that the network formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel will disappoint us occasionally.
