People can call it "STD" all they want but they have to go in knowing it's more commonly used among bashers, so they shouldn't be surprised if someone misinterprets their post if the context isn't clear.
Should season 2 have a new title sequence?
- Thread starter Philip Guyott
- Start date
I don't recall that at all.
Yes please. Or maybe do away with the title sequence and just run any information at the bottom of the screen when the first act begins.
please no, I like title sequences. I get sad when modern shows only throw the title up for a few seconds.
Yes, the intro reminds me a littlebit too much like Fringe.
I am calling it STD and I am not a "basher" (sure the show needs work, but I still watch it). But even if Season 2 will be the greatest TV season of all time (let's say better than any season of Breaking Bad), I won't suddenly stop calling it STD just because it's gotten better.
no star trek show ever had ST in their acronym, TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT didn't have it, why would DSC have it?
The last few movies id. ST09, STID, STB. Who cares what abbreviation someone used? Live and let live.
There is nothing wrong with someone using a different acronym from the commonly used ones, it's just STD also means something very different in some English speaking countries. Which is why some people who dislike the show use it.
But this isn't the thread for this conversation, we have a thread for discussing the acronyms in general discussions

If you guys don't knock it off, I'll put you each in the corner!!!!!
goes back to at least Seinfeld. Probably had one of the shortest openers of that time. With the US Version of the office you could tell, especially in later seasons if they needed to pad for time by how long the intro was.
Ahem!
I pretty much agree with everything you said here. But, umm, when did my username become shorthand for... something?...Interesting. I like the opening music mostly because of the cues it takes from the original, and wouldn't mind a bit more of that. As for the images, I like the artistic approach (not unlike, yes, a lot of Netflix shows)... but at the same time I can't help agreeing with @Rahul that the effects in the OP's clip look better than most of what we got in the show, and credits aside, I wouldn't mind seeing more like that on screen...

And the awesome part is that you'll be there every single week during S2 to see if things are up to your high-bar level of standards.
How did I not see this coming??????
The series is an exercise in what is, at its most successful, mediocrity: the visual design is drab and derivative, many of the effects are poorly designed (the space stuff), and the quality of the writing is generally directionless, arbitrary, superficial and often amateurish. It's neither sophisticated nor smart storytelling. Given the resources and time put into the show, you'd reasonably expect something about it to be really remarkable and first-rate as compared to other similarly ambitious productions on television.
So, it really is difficult to imagine how letting some new creative people or taking a new creative direction couldn't improve it. It's not like CBS can't afford the very best, for what they're spending.

Glad you hate it.
You used to eat people like you who bitched about whatever the new Star Trek was for breakfast. If they said anything negative, you were always on their tail. Without fail. Now you've become exactly who you used to go after.
