The opening credits for the first season finale "Flight of the War Witch" differ from the credit sequences for the rest of the season's episodes (except the pilot). After the series title appears, there follows a succession of short scenes from this episode as well as from the television version of the pilot (including the episode). After about 20 seconds, the credits resume as normal.
Kipp Lennon, the vocalist who sang the theme song for the pilot episode "Awakening", can be heard singing part of this again over the closing credits of the first season finale "Flight of the War Witch".
In a few non-consecutive episodes toward the end of the first season, the soundtrack for the opening credits is slightly different. Though the narration is spoken by the same actor and has the same wording, it is delivered here with slightly different pacing. This different version of the opening credits also has a different recording of the music, easily identifiable by a slightly more bombastic bass guitar in the 2491-era portion of the title sequence.
