Poll If we were to get a new series called Star Trek: Destiny, how would you abbreviate Discovery?

[Borg]

As some of you may already know, a patent was registered for a show called "Star Trek: Destiny" several months ago. This got me thinking, if such a show does actually get made, those who currently refer to Discovery as "STD" may want to consider a more specific abbreviation to avoid confusion.

Note: this is in no way meant to piss on anyone's choice of Discovery abbreviation (or compete with the other abbreviation thread). Just curious about this specific situation.

Also, I'd be interested to hear how you might abbreviate Destiny in the comments as well.

Discovery is DSC, Destiny is DTN; although Star Trek: Destiny/DTN will always be the novel trilogy for me, so I'll have to think of another abbreviation, should that show ever happen.

Knowing CBS, they'd probably abbreviate Destiny as DST.

I prefer Disco right now.

The other can be Desto.

I will think about it when/if it ever happens. Sounds more like a game to me..........

They just registered for the name. That doesn't mean it's going to be a show. It might be a video game for all we know.

The trademarks are filed under video/drama media:

Entertainment services, namely, a continuing multimedia series featuring drama rendered through the media of television, cable, satellite and broadband systems, and via the Internet, and portable and wireless communication devices; Providing ongoing non-downloadable entertainment multimedia programs featuring drama via a video-on-demand services; providing information in the field of entertainment rendered via the Internet, and portable and wireless communication devices

Digital media, namely, pre-recorded digital video discs, digital versatile discs, DVDs, downloadable audio and video recordings, and high definition digital discs featuring drama; Downloadable multimedia videos featuring drama provided via a video-on-demand service

Video games have a separate trademark category. So no, it isn't a video game.

Discovery = DSC

Destiny = DST Works for me until/unless something better comes along...

 

[Rahul]

Of course STD for the one and STI for the other!

Also, do we really need another abbreviation-thread this soon?

It could also be a straight-to-DVD movie, not a show.

It says 'continuing multimedia series' in the trademark.

So I don't think it will be a one off movie.

 

[BillJ]

I call Discovery "Discovery", I'll call Destiny "Destiny".

 

[Nerys Myk]

And the next spin off will be Destiny's Child.

And the next spin off will be Destiny's Child.

Abbreviated to Beyoncé.

Not to be confused with the upcoming Captain Worf-show called "Star Trek: Defiant" (STDE)

"Yes, yes. I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density... I mean, your Destiny."

On a more serious note: I thought about DES, but I guess DST works just as well.

Time Travel show confirmed.

STDIS or STDIY = DISCOVERY

STDES or STDEY = DESTINY
