I don’t know, man. I have a feeling that M’Benga is like a preying mantis. He’ll eat your face after you have sex with him. Then he’ll go back to sickbay with a smile.
Like I care. Have you seen his fuckin jawline? Or that nebulous amount of ass?
Worth it.
Pike’s got the jawline too. And he’d just cook you a delicious dinner.
Pikes great but you can tell he’s kinda vanilla and this LtCmdr likes it rough. If that roughness ends in my death, so fuckin be it.
I bet Pike cuddles too.
He’ll spoon with you all night. And he’ll be the big spoon.
That smile. That damned smile.
Is Pike and Spock in skants, making out a little, really too much to ask?
Sorry, you’ll have to live with this person.
Are they wearing Jeans?!?
I think it’s just weird lighting/foreground elements. Spock looks like he’s absolutely wearing tuxedo pants though
Jeggings, I think
Yep.
Including the Enterprise!
The things I want to do to Spocks arse.
So that ain’t Marques Brownlee?
The Orville ended up somehow being a better Star Trek than any of the Star Trek made since TNG. This looks like the same mistake as them naming that last star trek “STD”.
naming that last star trek “STD”.
They didn’t.
TNG
STD
It’s either TNG and DSC or STT and STD. You can’t have it both ways.
I’m just going by common nomenclature. You absolutely can have it both ways, because I didn’t name shit. I’m just going by the abbreviations they commonly hold.
Not a single Star Trek series is officially abbreviated with “ST” for “Star Trek” in the title. “They” never named it that.
But they aren’t common nomenclature (as they’re only used by people who are being disingenuous), they don’t commonly hold (as they are not used by the studio, memory alpha, or really anyone in general other than trolls) and it doesn’t fit with the naming scheme of the series. So, like I said, you can’t have it both ways.
Yeah, I agree with you that anyone abbreviating Discovery as “STD” is doing it just to be obtuse. That said, the abbreviation rules aren’t quite as consistent as I’d like.
- If it’s the original Star Trek series, it’s abbreviated TOS (The Original Series).
- If it’s a spin off with a multi-word subtitle (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), it’s abbreviated as an initialism of the subtitle (TNG, DS9, SNW).
- If it’s a spin off with a single-word subtitle (Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Prodigy), it’s abbreviated with the first three letters of the subtitle (VOY, ENT, PRO).
There are two series which violate these rules.
- Discovery violates rule 3 by being abbreviated as DSC, instead of DIS.
- Lower Decks violates rule 2 by being abbreviated LOW, instead of LD.
To be fair, I never mentioned the abbreviation rules themselves, just the naming scheme of Star Trek shows. The addition of ST to any acronym does line up with that. However, I agree on the Discovery front I disagree on the Lower Decks one. I’ve never seen anyone call it LOW, it’s always been referred to as LD.
Yeah, according to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.
But, as you said, “ST” is never used as part of the abbreviation for a show, only movies.
Perhaps rule 2 is “If it’s a spinoff whose subtitle contains at least 3 words”. That would be consistent with the evidence.
Lower Decks is LOW officially? Never saw that before. Appropriately degrading, I suppose!
According to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.
Yeah, fans will call it whatever they want. Never knew LOW was the official term, though. I like LD more.
