    Now add in about a dozen fan films using it and when Discovery was announced I was thinking it was a bad ans generic naming choice.

    It's still possible that the "crew" will rename the Protostar for their own purpose of evasion.

    For some of us, it's about the Star Ships and Star Bases =D, and the people just happen to be there.

    I kind of like the design, although I don't know how to feel about the glass bridge section and the scale.

    Same. Ships are pretty but not characters. I'll be more interested in the Protostar after seeing the characters interact with it.

    I'd even argue that at this point they don't all have to have Star Trek in the title. Picard, for example.

    ENT went two whole seasons without "Star Trek" in the title and that was a majority of its episodes.

    Honestly, I’ve always felt that wasn’t a good move…If it’s Star Trek why avoid calling it Star Trek?

    And while we all raged about it at the time, in retrospect I see nothing wrong with it. No one is going to think a show called Enterprise is anything other than a Star Trek spinoff. Same with Picard. Now Prodigy obviously needs the Star Trek name since its specific title isn't a familiar name from the franchise.
    It can get somewhat redundant. Imagine if the superhero movies did it and they were all called things like Justice League: Aquaman or Avengers: Black Widow.

    I preferred when it was just called "Enterprise" and had the slower-tempo theme song. The series itself got better in Seasons 3 and 4 but the title and music didn't. They should have just left well enough alone in 2003. Who is going to think a series named "Enterprise" with starships, Klingons and warp drive ISN'T Star Trek?

    I find vans to be downright luxurious.

    ah, yes, I’ve never been a fan of Faith of the Hearth, but at least it was a singable, somewhat inspiring, ballad , the uptempo version was awful.

    ENT the show got better as it went along. The title and theme song didn't.

    It's more straightforward than the Star Trek: Marketing Tagline formula.

    I don't see anything wrong with those titles.
