Am I the first one to notice that "Star Trek Discovery" = STD?

Yeah, it's very catchy!
Speaking of which. True story. When I was in dry cleaning, we proudly hung our certificate of compliance from AID. The Australian Institute of Dry cleaners. This is in the early 80's.Well, they couldn't rush out the new ones (DIA) quick enough!

What I'd like to know is, if they're going to break canon so hard, why bother calling it Star Trek?
Either work within the established rules to create your stories, or make your own universe. Don't just take a theme for decoration and then ignore the implications of clothing yourself in said theme.

Tazzy, I agree, but I don't think us hardcore ST nuts are their target audience... Just the regular scifi nuts.

And that is why The Orville is such a breath of fresh air.
It's like ST, but has no canon to live by. And people act like 21st century people!

Video title "What Star Trek Discovery is ACTUALLY about".... content "may be", "should be", "similarities"...
Bah! Yes, the theory is a possibility. A very interesting possibility. But to claim that is actual fact up front is false.

Lol you Star Trek geeks.getting bent out of shape over the title of a YouTube video?
Way to fulfill the stereotypes, Poca.  I really like the show, and I've seen only a couple TNG episodes ever. I'll keep watching.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
