VOY or VGR: Acronym for Star Trek: Voyager

I immediately thought the same when I saw it.

[stargate barbie]

VOY was always the tv show as far as i was aware.

i'm sure VGR was in reference to both the original voyager space probe, and as a result of that ST: the motion picture, where as far as i can remember they encountered that probe.

Whatever makes you happy.

But you will be happy if people understand you so I would suggest using whichever is predominant wherever you’re posting.

STV is not an option?

It goes like this
ST: TOS
ST: TNG
ST: DS9
ST: VGR
ST: ENT

the ST is a different thing altogether.

VOY - It's what Voyager's always been shortened to

VGR - Reminds me of Star Trek: The Motion Picture

STV - Reminds me of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

or Scottish Television (Our ITV )

Bingo, I see VGR and I think the first movie. I have always used VOY.

You missed TAS, and posting "VGR" as an absolute is just begging for argument when that's the whole point of this thread.

[sueKay]

Every Trek site I'm on (and the Star Trek Encyclopedia (yup...I'm sad )) lists

ST:TOS
ST:TNG
STS9
ST:VOY
ST:ENT

Roddenberry admited that TAS was a non cannon Trek project. It dosn't count as a Trek show in my mind so I didn't list it. But for the sake of argument:
ST: TAS

You happy now?

I wouldn't say that's entirely true. I know both he and the studios agreed that it should not be counted among canonical Trek, but certain elements from the show actually have been included in the canonical Trek timeline.

What really baffles me, though, is how it seemed like a good idea to 'de-canonise' TAS, and yet VOY and ENT are still counted in the canonical timeline. TAS was a cheesy, corny and generally BAD show, but it doesn't even come close to the monumental lows that were those two shows.

Before 7 of 9 VOY/VGR was a snooze fest, after Jerri Ryan came into the fold the series took off. Voyager and DS9 had the best ending to there respected series out of all the Trek franchises.

As far as what to call it, Its all good to me.

[Superman195]

Bingo. Not that this trash should be counted among true Star Trek anyhow.

so...you seem to like flame sometimes...which are you talking about voyager or motion picture, because they were both GOOD, voyager was AWESOME, and why come into a forum and flame things? seriously this is the second post ive seen you do this in...it has nothing to do with the topic.

Alright, i prefer VOY, for two reasons...

1. It sounds better to me
2. Like a few ppl said, VGR reminds me to much of V'Ger

In your opinion. I'm getting tired of hearing people slam my favorite Trek, ST: Voyager and the show Enterprise. Truth is, ALL Trek shows had faults. I for one don't care for TOS. I find it too campy and cheesy. TNG is all right but I never felt anything for the crew. I could never accept the supposed friendships between the crew, and only in the TNG movies did I feel something between Troi and Riker.On the other hand, from the instant I saw my first Voyager episode, I genuinely felt for the crew. I could feel the closeness and friendships, same with Enterprise. Yes, both shows had flaws, but all trek had flaws in my opinion.

[DigiFluid]

I never trashed TMP. I like that movie.

[Lieutenant Colonel Davis]

Well I never liked TAS it sucked. VGR was a good show and should be counted. The verdict is still out on ENT.
