I'm pretty sure Paramount has sold Starfleet Academy tshirts and the like in the past with "SFA" emblazoned on the front. Might be a Berenstain bears situation though, I have a decade-old one somewhere and can't for the life of be remember if it's "Starfleet Academy" or "SFA" on the front.
Yup! I don’t remember one with SFA though.
Right, saying aloud the abbreviation is a whole nother matter. I typically only spell out the abbreviation if the show title is too long. I would say TOS, DS9, and TNG, but then also Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Picard, Prodigy, etc. SNW is too clunky to spell out so I go for Strange New Worlds there. Some of the lesser watched properties I also usually give the whole title for — The Animated Series, the Section 31 movie, etc. I imagine in the future I’ll type SFA and say about Academy. I also type TAS and S31 while I say the full name.*WAITS* Yes.
I always say TNG or DS9, I talk about those a lot. But I would say Voyager.
There's no real consistency for me. Unless by accident I have the system does it save me time? TOS, TNG, DS9 all three words. Voyager is one word.
I digress.
It's DISCO.
They even had it on their shirts in one episode.
I won't know for sure until we get there, and it depends what names take off, but right now I'm leaning towards calling everything from the 2009 Film up to whenever Alex Kurtzman is finished the "3rd Wave of Star Trek". And whatever starts up afterwards the 4th Wave. That would make TOS and the first six movies the 1st Wave and TNG through ENT the 2nd Wave.
I know. I was there.... except for of course that the TOS movies ran in parallel to TNG and even DS9 (and TMP is much closer in style to TNG than to TOS) - so I would definitely put all the TOS movies into the 2nd wave.
... And that "3rd wave" has a certain ring to it...
