I overall loved the choice to use it and orchestral arrangement especially, really got my attention after all the action and made me lean in to the moment and the show. What I didn’t love was Rufus Wainright’s overly syrup-y vocals. Really would have preferred the original remixed with the orchestral arrangement.
That said, I do wonder if over time this is going to grow on me and become another Faith of the Heart. 😁
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.
I understand that many people are quite enthusiastic about the music for this show, and are quite moved by this rendition of this song.
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?

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 don’t know.
