By about a million times...yes sir.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, this series violates Roddenberry's vision big time
- Thread starter Sci-fi fan
- Start date

No. It’s correct acronym is DSC (or even DIS). There hasn’t been a single "ST: " TV acronym yet.
Yeah, I generally prefer the X-Men movie franchise over the MCU. The former actually has stuff to say.
...until now.

False, no, but I’ll reiterate that it’s awkward. Why do you like STD?I LOVE the series so far and I use ST: D - so any other false assumptions you'd care to make?
Again, do you use ST: V and ST: E? Do you use them every time?
Your "feeling" is inaccurate, as far as TNG goes--Star Trek: The Next Generation is what appears on screen every time I put the Blu-ray into the player.
[I don't really care what people use as acronyms, but I wanted to get into the pedantic argument for fun]
I'm aware, but It's never say it even think to say Star Trek The Next Generation. While Star Trek Discovery is the only way that works, saying just Discovery isn't specific enough.
You can have it. TNG *shudders*
The OP got shot down long ago; got to keep the thread going somehow, I suppose!
TOS has been "gone" for how long now?
And was always criticized for being TNG-lite. Again, TNG the standard-bearer.
That is what I'm arguing. That it update its ethics as it updates its production design. Drama and immorality aren't new, but a writer is judged by how well they present them. I judge a Trek series additionally by how well it presents ethics and aspiration. ...When it's done badly, it's eye-rolling; when it's done well, you're moved unlike with most entertainment; when it's not done at all, it's as forgettable as most entertainment.
And when acronyming for Star Trek fans?Usually, yeah.
Mostly because I acronym them to non-STAR TREK fans.
ST: V, without context of whatever else you're writing, suggests TFF.
ST: D (not STD) is awkward without context, and eye-rolling with.
STD is just awkward. When it's not, for the show's detractors, petty.
Well I don't use roman numerals.
I call it ST:TFF.
I call it ST:TFF.
Fun, entertaining and something I can share with my children? Ridiculous.
Oh, I get it. Just because it's your opinion, it is therefore by extension indisputable fact.
