Currently watching Project Daedalus on the season 2 blu ray. Such a great episode forever tainted by someone (probably in this thread) asking "why didn't they shoot the mines?"
Kirk at this point is only a Lieutenant and a few years from taking over Enterprise. The show is seemingly jumping fully to the future so they can avoid any more TOS timeline issues. Moving to the far future lets them do anything they like nowJust finished season 2. Really enjoyed it and I think I accidentally got my daughter into it whi was watching along with me
so they're never talking about discovery or the spore drive which explains away the lack of spore drives in modern trek I guess. But what do they do next? pike and Spock are great but the show is called discovery so are we expecting season 3 to be bouncing between future and present?
is this a universe without Kirk or will they address that?
Pike and Spock are largely out of the picture. If they show up again it will be in something else. Season 3 will be Discovery, its crew in the future. Like said Kirk is out there just not the focus and still has a few years before he takes command of the Enterprise. Until said other wise Discovery won't be dealing with the TOS part of the timeline anymore.Just finished season 2.

I'm actually shocked you've not done what most have done for Mandalorian.I hope these Short Treks come to UK Netflix eventually, bummed I haven't been able to watch any of this batch yet.
Waited for the episodes to become legally available in my country? I hope you're not suggesting that I commit a crime!I'm actually shocked you've not done what most have done for Mandalorian.
Dude, did you just admit to a crime?Waited for the episodes to become legally available in my country? I hope you're not suggesting that I commit a crime!

Looks like we got an early season 4 renewal for Discovery as well as Short Treks (called Green Harvest here I believe).
Green Harvest is the codename for Discovery. I've seen it on filming signs a few spots around Toronto.Looks like we got an early season 4 renewal for Discovery as well as Short Treks (called Green Harvest here I believe).
Ah. Gotcha.Green Harvest is the codename for Discovery. I've seen it on filming signs a few spots around Toronto.
(Blue Harvest was the codename for Return of the Jedi, used to keep snooping fans away from sets.)
I actually haven't seen this speculated before. Very interesting.Children of Mars was ok, this latest batch weren't that great tbh.
Oh i missed this completely
STAR TREK: PICARD GETS A HUGE STORY TWIST WITH A NEW SHORT TREKS EASTER EGG
Although I'm fairly sure this was somewhat expected
The 2 animated shorts was OK. Children of Mars was surprisingly poignant.
As a non-classic Trek watcher, if I want to get up to speed for Picard which movies and TNG episodes are essential to watch?
It would be neat to have a timeline info graphic that covers the major events leading up to this series. Happy to have a go at that this week.Is anyone making an OT for Picard, if not are there any takers? I have never done one, but this show needs one.
TNG´s first real movie was the only good one but some to many fans have problems with even that one:As a non-classic Trek watcher, if I want to get up to speed for Picard which movies and TNG episodes are essential to watch?
You'd think they would list the episodes in viewing order. Recommending family before BOBW...Here you go, includes all shows vital to Picard, Data, Borg, Romulan and the movies (TNG movies range from ok to terrible so might want to read up on those, but up to you)
Star Trek Picard Ultimate Guide
Yup, it's extra dumb because it doesn't even fit with the established set of acronyms: TOS, TNG, DS9, ENT. DSC or DISCO is the right way of shortening it.
We been through this. Short answer: No.
No, STE and STV get used also.Yup, it's extra dumb because it doesn't even fit with the established set of acronyms: TOS, TNG, DS9, ENT. DSC or DISCO is the right way of shortening it.
But, they know exactly what they're doing when they use STD, and it's because they hate the show. It's pretty juvenile.
I've never seen either,
Weird way to talk about The Final Frontier.
In my 25 years on the net I've never seen either.
What does God want with the Delta Quadrant?
On the subject of the acronym debate, I would say that The Original Series never really had an acronym to start with. It was just "Star Trek" to everyone. Star Trek: The Next Generation forced the issue of acronyms, because it's five words long and that's clearly too many, so people abbreviated it to "TNG". And then TNG also had the effect of people saying "Star Trek" and other people asking "which one?" and people responding "I mean Star Trek Star Trek. You know? The original series?" Which caused the "TOS" acronym to get retroactively applied to Star Trek.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was another overlong name, so people slipped right into calling it DS9.
Star Trek: Voyager sort of broke the trend, because the name wasn't overlong. People could just call it "Voyager" and it didn't need any acronym. Although Acronym Finder suggests that "STV" is a frequent acronym of Voyager, and "VOY" is a very frequent acronym of Voyager.

Enterprise broke the trend again, because Enterprise wasn't originally called "Star Trek: Enterprise", it was called "Enterprise" for it's first two seasons, and then renamed "Star Trek: Enterprise" for seasons 3&4. Again, I would say that Enterprise hardly needed an abbreviation, and people were still calling it Enterprise even after it was renamed. But one might say that dropping the "Star Trek" and calling it "Enterprise" (as the show's launch) forced some nerds to say that "ENT" was it's abbreviation, which would've pushed "VOY" over "STV" as the appropriate abbreviation for Voyager (trying to create a sense of uniformity).
But Acronym Finder suggests that "ENT" and "STE" are both "very frequent" acronyms for Enterprise. Which is to say, "STE" is more common and popular than "STV".

If STV is a valid abbreviation for Voyager, and STE is a common abbreviation for Enterprise, then it's safe to say that "STD" is at least a "valid" abbreviation for Discovery. It's just one that some people find funny, while other people hate it.
I'll just quote from one of the times someone whined previously.
And this is why STV is less common, and VOY or Voyager get used. STD doesn't have this problem.
I don't work for CBS so I don't really care.E: and the fact that DIS or DSC is the official naming convention by the company.
Well saidYup, it's extra dumb because it doesn't even fit with the established set of acronyms: TOS, TNG, DS9, ENT. DSC or DISCO is the right way of shortening it.
But, they know exactly what they're doing when they use STD, and it's because they hate the show. It's pretty juvenile.
I don't have to cater to people offended over stupid things. "Oh no, a TV show I watch has the same acronym as sex diseases".If one acronym annoys people, and another doesn't... And they're functionally the same, what does it say about you that you're unwilling to use the term that offends less people?
