So, could we change the thread title to DSC, to stay inline with the Desperate Hours threads, please? After all, we don’t alternate between VOY and VGR either.

*sigh* you realise this is requiring me to care, right?

To be pedanitc, we don't alternate between VOY and VGR because those review threads were created before my time. But now my sense of keeping things well-ordered has entered the fray... (also, I've discovered you can click on the tops of the columns to order the threads by different fields, I didn't know you could do that :D )
 
Who decided this when?

In Voyager's original run, by the same people who decide everything official about Trek, by definition -- Paramount (now CBS). It's the abbreviation used in works like the Star Trek Chronology and Encyclopedia, and I think on StarTrek.com.

Right, it's now DSC. That's the forum abbreviation for Discovery and anyone who doesn't like it is kindly requested to be bothered about it quietly, and not in this thread.

Ditto for the discussion of the abbreviation for Voyager - no more discussion in this thread please.
 
Got my copy today. Will read it over the weekend. Description is an interesting mix of Disc and TOS.
 
I swung by Barnes and Noble on my way home from work hoping it might've been set out early, and luck was on my side. I'm only a couple chapters in, but so far, Good Lorca is exactly as different from Evil Lorca as I hoped.

There was something weird about the B&N, though. The "New Paperbacks" table in the front of the store had a fat stack of Desperate Hourses, just as it did when it first came out, but no Drastic Measureses. I checked out the Sci-Fi rack to be sure, and there was just one DM tucked away (along with a solitary DH). I'm wondering if this was, like, a deliberate thing and they set out one before the street date so people who were looking could find it without setting it up for the browsers in the front of the store, or if someone in the back put one out early for a buddy and I unknowingly grabbed it, or what but, hey. Can't argue with results.
 
Except for Discovery, for which we use "Disco." :D

I've called it Disco since we saw them wearing the Disco shirts in the show.
 
I hate all you people who've already gotten your copies. Still waiting on Amazon to deliver mine. ;) :D
 
Damn book store wouldn’t let me have my copy of STD/DSC/DIS/DRY/DISCO/ST6 until the 8th. Bunch of meanies.

The 8th? That is odd, even if they're strict about the release date, it's being released on the 6th. Why are they withholding it until the 8th?
