    I think it’s no surprise that each Trek, through its own lens, shows us some vision of a possible future. ST:D just showed us a future where living life means dealing with the whole mind and not treating it like a taboo. Considering all the recent buzz about not neglecting mental health, I think ST:D was really relevant in its time for exploring what could be different in a better future. It’s not a documentary, it’s a vision.

      Doesn’t help your case that you keep (almost) calling the show STD, though 😛

        Especially because it’s not a naming convention used for any other show: we don’t call Voyager ST:V, or Prodigy ST:P. The logical abbreviation is either DIS or DSC

          I keep rooting for DISCO. One, because it’s on their exercise uniform, and two, because disco’s not dead, baby!

            I call it DSC because it fits the three letter patter and I think it looks nicer in print than DIS, but if I didn’t I’d definitely call it Disco.

            Disco is NOT dead! Disco is LIFE!

              I haven’t seen a Mystery Men reference in a long time.
