^ Agreed. That's pretty much my take as well. In the end, everyone's tastes are different. Personally, I've long realized that the demographic Discovery is aiming for is one I no longer belong to.
The Orville season 3 - first look

- Start date
Please, the correct abbreviation is DIS. STD stands for sexually transmitted disease.
I've never really seen The Orville as a parody, I've always felt it takes it's self to seriously overall, and while it's very close to the Trek style, I don't think there's enough taken directly from the Treks to be a parody.
I didn't really mean mature as in acting mature, I just meant mature as in having more adult content.
I've never seen that before. It's kind of a shame those scene were cut, it would have been nice to Wesley actually have a social life with the other kids on the ship.
The official abbreviations are actually DSC or Disco, as both have been used onscreen in the show itself.
I hate that they use Disco on the show. Just reminds me of a Land Rover.
Seth was forced to put in more jokes than he was comfortable with in the beginning, but by Odin, if he promised the network Family Guy in Space, they were getting American Dad in Space, even if it killed him.
Well, you can see that by the second season, we had a show that seemed more sure of itself and what it wanted to be. I think that certainly helped. The second season is where it really starts to feel like its own thing.
It is correct.
S = Star
T = Trek
D = Discovery
It's initialism abbreviation. The most basic of basic ways to abbreviate something.
The fact you and others who want to play abbreviation gatekeeper can only see STD as "sexually transmitted disease" speaks volumes about where your maturity level is at. Plus it's you lot who keep bringing it up like a grating six year old who keeps pointing out useless things.

Also, here's a list of some other stuff that also use STD. Want to get pissy at them too for daring to use STD because you abbreviation gatekeepers can't get your minds out of the gutter?
It doesn't matter what the correct abbreviation is as long as people know what you're talking about, but there's a pretty high correlation between people who use 'STD' and people who dislike the series. It's the term people use when they want to show their disrespect and I'm sure the message is recieved by the people reading it.

No precedent for STD aside from going someplace you shouldn't have gone.

It's amazing how a small fraction of people, on a Star Trek message board, in threads about science fiction shows, discussing shows, can think a person is suddenly going completely off on a bizarre un-related tangent about sexually transmitted diseases. People have funny ideas in their heads.
My work insists STD = Short Term Disability despite my snickering. DSC has been the Discovery Channel for as long as I can remember and SMG = Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Yeah, pretty much the only people I've seen call it STD are the people who don't like it, and from the way they do it, it's usually pretty clear they're doing it sarcastically. Most of the people I've seen who actually like the show call it DSC, or Disco. I'm a huge fan of the show, I always call it Disco, because it's what they've used on the show, and because I find it amusing.
Wow, he's pretty much the same character. I could see him trying to get Mercer to come on a double date almost the same way.
Most people who use STD I agree tend to not like the show but the show also kind of walked into it when they named the show Discovery. Nobody picked up the natural abbreviation would be STD? It is kind of funny that possibility went over their head. Just be glad the show doesn't have Kirk as Captain or the STD jokes would go into super-hyperdrive.
If we can get a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode where Janeway is running around her ship in the passed and seeing herself, maybe we can get some bizarre alternate reality episode of "The Orville" where Gordon has to go undercover aboard the Enterprise D to help resolve the temporal issue. Just a thought.
Then Wesley gets sucked into a black hole.
Ed: "Well, not all solutions are perfect."
I'm a 58-year-old straight white male, and I don't feel alienated or excluded from Discovery's hypothetical demographic.
