Talk:Star Trek: The Original Series

name of article

The articles name should be „star trek“ and nothing else. That is the actual name of the series like its mentioned in the title screen. The addition „the original series“ should not be there because it is not part of the actual title mentioned in the opening. The title screen should be the only source for this, because it IS the title screen. Wikipedia should list the names of things truthfuly and not some nickname from fans or stuff like that. A mention of the addition can be done in the article text somewhere as some kind of info, but not in the article title itself.

Furthermore the article for the franchise „star trek“ should have the addition „(franchise)“ to distinguish itself from the more older series called „star trek“. 2003:C8:6F25:EE00:BF19:5A5:EBC2:68F9 (talk) 20:43, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Disagree. Paramount has taken on "The Original Series" as part of the official title (it is no longer a "nickname from fans." Official releases of home media, as well as other licensed products contain the subtitle "The Original Series." Rcarter555 (talk) 20:56, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

When you actually watch an episode, what does the title say at the beginning? 2600:4040:5D38:1600:3CD0:A422:6098:B251 (talk) 14:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

While Paramount haven't quite reached George Lucas "Star Wars -> Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope" levels of retconning the title, the official website, along with a majority of reliable sources all refer to the series as Star Trek: The Original Series. Accordingly our article follows this per WP:COMMONNAME. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:43, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Agree that it should simply be Star Trek. Paramount paid to have the entire series upgraded, yet did not change the onscreen title to include "The Original Series." This is very similar to what Paramount did with Raiders of the Lost Ark, which almost nobody calls "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" despite that title being on the covers of all new discs. Yet they did not also change the onscreen title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎2603:8000:7800:9f15:bc76:f540:f3af:ac09 (talk) 20:50, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Paramount did what it did because idiot fans can't keep their Star Treks straight. Vincent Ree (talk) 15:00, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Why is Janice Rand given equal rating as a crew member?

Article name should be Star Trek

Today is the 58th anniversary of the debut of "Star Trek". It's "Star Trek", not "Star Trek: The Original Series"; there was no such show and if you can't keep your Star Trek series straight, you need help.

The article "Star Trek" for the franchise should be renamed instead to something like "Star Trek Franchise" or something clearly delineating the franchise. Vincent Ree (talk) 14:57, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Paramount Plus currently lists the series as “Star Trek The Original Series”. Home media and other merchandising also make this distinction. It has become Paramounts official name for the series. Rcarter555 (talk) 15:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Merchandising

Under this heading in the article, there's nothing about "Games" or "Gaming" and there are quite a few out there. I think there should be some kind of acknowledgement of this 'genre.' 2600:8800:395:B000:B528:C7D4:72A8:DBD8 (talk) 20:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
