I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can't imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It's part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?

Yeah, I often fall asleep to a TNG playlist where I've selected all the most cozy episodes (e.g., no Borg or "4 lights!" because those are amazing but stressful) but being jolted wide awake by that jarringly loud intro music is less fun than nodding off to Picard romancing Lwaxana with Shakespeare quotes.
Do you count The Inner Light as one of the cozy episodes or stressful episodes?
Good question.. it's not on my playlist but it's probably actually cozy. I just don't tend to watch that one often because it makes me feel sad.
My top 3 favorite cozy episodes are Data's Day, Déjà Q, and Manhunt. Horny Lwaxana is an inspiration; her reactions to her daughter's slut shaming comments are so priceless to me.
Gotta agree with Data's Day. In that same vein, I also love Hero Worship.
Using book mode, I once typed the entirety of The Inner Light script in Monkeytype. My meme description of that episode is "Picard plays Animal Crossing VR and then has his entire save deleted."
