It got a second season, which has yet to air, and then got cancelled. So we're going to get to see their second year at the Academy, eventually.

Our new vulcan is a flanderisation of vulcans, and not in a good way.

I've gotta be honest, I think she's uncomfortably representative - Vulcans are, by and large, dicks. But the appearance of...

...will likely balance things out in the future.

If they’re going to keep making these, something more subtle might have worked,

Yeah, this was on-the-nose to the point of being kind of a strange thing for her to say.

I don't think anything will ever top DS9 for me, but I'd put several of the newer shows above Voyager.

I would have loved some Voth references

My only "complaint," because the Voth are one of my favourite dumb Trek things. But it's not really a complaint, and you can easily assume the Voth are simply gone by this point in history.

I saw someone compare it to "Rascals", and I'm hard-pressed to say it's a sillier idea.

The environmental portfolio has been the weakest in Kinew's government pretty much since Day 1, and it certainly hasn't improved.

Right now, I think he's probably correct that such a project has strong support, or at worst apathy amongst Manitobans. That would likely change if the project were to get off the ground, a route was selected, and land appropriations began, but that's all very hypothetical at this stage.

I see this as a suitably noncommital response to a project that almost definitely won't happen.

Good grief, it's not a "deal" at all - "proposed agreement in principle" indeed. With no definition of "operating costs," it's pretty much a worthless piece of paper.

There's also some confirmation that the US would have a say in toll reductions, not just increases as was reported last week.

As an exercise in kicking the can down the road, it's...fine. As an ironclad agreement, it sucks.

I'm a non-drinker and know very little about the topic, but some provinces seem awfully protective of their local booze industry.

Regarding the computer program...I do love a scene where you know some high-tech shit is going down because the characters are mashing the keyboards at an incredible speed.

I find that absolutely fascinating if it's somehow true - I would assume that anything written for Trek, like any other major franchise, is strictly "work for hire" and the individual authors have no rights to their work. It's hard to imagine it any other way.

Not disputing that she said it, I just truly don't understand it.
