Then why isn’t it STV/Voyager?
STE/Enterprise?
You don’t need the ST part. Stick with Discovery.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, this series violates Roddenberry's vision big time
- Thread starter Sci-fi fan
- Start date
STE/Enterprise?

STDs rarely go away.
I don't understand wanting to, it opens up for well timed sexually transmitted disease jokes....
So confronted with your error you choose to make it a mistake.
STD has been the acronym of awkward linguists and malcontent haters. I know I was using DIS/DSC a year ago, as were many others. I think CBS uses DSC and I’m told Memory Alpha uses DIS.
There’s lots of reasoning for why it shouldn’t be the mean-spirited abbreviation and only the mean-spiritednessr to call it that.
Choose your path, trekker, carefully in this life...
Klingon honor has never been defined very well. And I expect that it would be much different than human notions.
Worf said, "In war, there is nothing more honorable than victory."
Kor
Especially as, if it’s anything that doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, it’s the likely success of Discovery.
In which case, what your promoting is the ugliness of its detractors and the smallness of Trekkie geeks altogether, before the rest of the world.
You signal to all that whatever it is you want maybe isn’t worth it, and both betray yourselves, and the Trek we all love, to the scrap heap before the New Hit that was so pettily maligned by its failed detractors.

I LOVE the series so far and I use ST: D - so any other false assumptions you'd care to make?
I use ST: D because....that's its acronym.
That Trek has been gone for over twenty years. The series that tried to maintain that image lost audience and fans. The last vestige of the Trek of Roddenberry and Berman disappeared twelve years ago. Now audiences look to the vapid morals of Marvel action films: that shallow debate between Captain America and Iron Man over Bucky. Certainly, Discovery needs to have some sort of better ethical and moral message than what is offered now, but it should carve out its own story rather than pick up on one that was last successful decades ago.
Captain America: The WInter Soldier is comic book fun which is edumacational.
But most Marvel movies don't PRETEND to be smart.
Which is the difference.
It's about the level of moral argument that the audiences want.
ETA: It should not be forgotten that the "Civil War" was considered a big achievement in comics when it came out, touching on elements of law and morality.
LMAO, speak for yourself. I'll take 1980's Trek over "marvel action films" any day.
The movie is also an adaptation in name only.
It is a pale imitation of the original narrative, yet it was still presented as something heftier than it really is.
