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

[Tenacity]

Discovery = STD
Destiny = Tiny

 

[Lord Garth]

Discovery = STD
Destiny = Tiny

Mystery Solved!

 

[Guy Gardener]

There's no such thing as a tiny std.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

DENY, perhaps for Destiny.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Destiny = Tiny

<Sulu> DON'T call it Tiny. </Sulu>

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

I wouldn't change the way I abbreviate discover: It's DSC now, and can remain as such.
I suppose "Destiny" would be DES.

 

[SolarisOne]

DSC, since that's the official abbreviation anyway.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Discovery would be DSC, as it's always been, and Destiny would be DSY.

 

[Mudd]

STD.

There'd be no reason to change something like that years after the fact; one would just call the newer series something else - probably Destiny. I've generally always called Voyager and Enterprise by their names - TOS, TNG and DS9 by acronyms. No rule.

 

[Vger23]

"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.

It will be a show with stories...science fiction stories...about visitors coming down to Earth from other planets.

 

[DaveyNY]

Discovery = STD
Destiny = Tiny

Logically that should be...

Discovery = Very
Destiny = Tiny.

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

STD.

Correct, but I think overall (for most people) it would be "DSC" for Discovery and "DSY" or "DES" for Destiny, considering that most people typically use DSC right now for Discovery (although Memory Alpha uses DIS), and not STD as the poll insinuates.

The poll should have been worded as follows:
"If you currently use the abbreviation "STD" for Discovery, and If we were to get a new series called Star Trek: Destiny, how would you abbreviate Discovery?"

Yeah, I suspect that was the intent.

STD2: FIRST BLOOD, PART II

 

[Master Gracey]

STD2: Electric Boogaloo

 

[Tim Thomason]

2017: Star Trek: Discovery comes out.

Tee hee, I'm going to call it STD.

2019: Star Trek: Destiny comes out.

Okay fine, it's DIS and the new show is DES.

2022: Star Trek: Distillery is released (first scripted show on The Food Network).

Ugh, I'll go with everyone else and call them DSC and DIST.

2025: Star Trek: Department of Stellar Cartography comes out.

What? Okay, then new show is DSC and the old one becomes, uh, DISCO.

2029: Star Trek: Discombobulate comes out.

:| ... DSCOVR and DSCOM

2035: Star Trek: Discover comes out.

I quit. Stop toying with me.

 

[Groppler Zorn]

I selected DSC again - since my love for DS9 is no secret and DSC is an analogous acronym.

However, DSC could have a different acronym based on its attributes. DSC is:

Bold - in its vision of Trek
Alternate - visually
Daring - to be different!

So we could use the initials ...

Wait, never mind

Is Star Trek: Destiny about a stripper on Nimbus III?

"Now on the main stage, Destiny!"

 

[CaptainMurdock]

It would be cool to see Nimbus III when it was first established.

 

[Cyrus]

Destiny could be STP, assuming it is the Picard series.
