    "This is TimelineBob. Timeline Bob has bitch tits."

    Some of you are putting way, way too much time into thinking this out. Of all the ridiculous minutiae to obsess over.... i mean for crying out loud! I'd suggest telling you guys to all go out and get laid or something, but then I remember the crowd I'm talking to.

    Lighten the fuck up.

    Abramsverse is fine and the one that seems to have the most currency.

    I particularly like how most of the thread is just a bit of fun, and the only ones who are swearing and getting worked up are the ones who are basically telling people to stop being nerds. :rommie:

    No argument from me. I was there too. I thought STC and STA were well-established. Suddenly allegiances shifted, and it was TOS and TAS. And now even CBS and Pocket Books use "The Original Series" in their marketing.

    Physician, heal thyself. This is a complete overreaction to what's being discussed here. There's some nitpicking at worst, no drama.

    Why does Star Trek have such a stigma? :devil:

    or even GNU-Trek. Let's make Trek open-source.

    Because of people like you...
    Sometimes, Christopher, the best way to get an idea is to stop thinking about it...
    Let it rest for a while and maybe a nice acronym might pop up in your head when you least expect it...

    So much anger. All of it, useless.

    Huh? Who's "heated?" This is just an idle exercise in speculation and curiosity. It's an intellectual musing, not an emotional issue.


    But this is a discussion board. I was trying to generate a topic for discussion.


    Again, why are people assuming I'm looking for an acronym? I'm looking for an actual name. The shorthand would be easy enough to derive afterward, and is thus an incidental concern.

    How about "The Verse of Abrams"? has a nice biblical sound to it.

    How about "Star Trek Fractured Universe"?

    I think STFU has a nice ring to it. ;)

    That would be the name of the inevitable anime spinoff.

    Oh for goodness sake. What is that supposed to mean? What behaviour of mine has caused Star Trek to have a stigma?

    Members have spent over 100 posts debating the meaning of the term "nu", but it's my fault? Did you not see the grinning devil, indicating that I was joking? Fans with a sense of humour are the reason Star Trek has a stigma?
