I'm just wondering if there are any theories as to what's going on with the Aetherians.

It seems pretty obvious that there's a shoe yet to drop, but what is it?

My personal theory is that they themselves are a multiversal Borg variant, at war with all the others.

That's true, and the article rightly notes that Kinew has always been up-front about this being a long process.

But we're also 1/4 of the way through his term, it's completely valid to evaluate whether progress has been made, and "the Conservatives left us a big mess" is only going to work for so long as a talking point.

Obviously a priority issue.

A completely unforced error.

My initial reaction was about how stupid it is to open a theme park attraction themed around a series that's been cancelled, but then I thought about how this thing must've been in the works for several years, and now I just feel sad for the people who worked on it.

hoping his character’s death – in the full context – would make more narrative sense.

Chabon had some lovely and interesting things to say about self-sacrifice being the ultimate expression of the individuality Hugh spent his life working toward, but unfortunately I didn't think any of that came through in the final product.

I'm glad the CBC is revisiting the story now that they have the other side.

 

Washik, 58, told The Canadian Press earlier this month that she was having a playful water gun fight with a child during a neighbourhood gathering when she accidentally sprayed Rochester in the chest.

Washik said that, despite her apologies, he called police. After Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrived, Washik said the officers didn't ask her "a single question" and charged her with assault with a weapon. But Rochester's security footage appears to show a different version of events.

Around 6 p.m. ET, Rochester is setting up his lawnmower on his front lawn when Washik walks over, the footage appears to show. No other people can be seen.

She stands at the end of his lawn and is heard saying, "Hey, how's it going?"

Rochester doesn't appear to respond and begins mowing his lawn while Washik watches him for several minutes, occasionally waving.

"It was very strange and creepy," he told CBC.

Then, a boy crosses from the other side of the street and Washik appears to ask him for a water gun, making a flicking motion with her hands in the direction of Rochester.

The footage doesn't capture the side of the house, where Rochester alleges he was intentionally sprayed.

Heh, I don't think I agree with either of these takes.

It seems to me like season 1 was very much Michael Chabon's vision - indeed, they've said in interviews that it didn't bear much resemblance to the original pitch that sold Stewart on the series.

I've always felt that Chabon had a lot of great ideas (and to be frank, I still think that first season is the best "Picard" season), but was perhaps too inexperienced to get those ideas implemented in a timely and affordable fashion.

Del Arco not being informed of Hugh's death is a bit of a non-issue, I think - the guy was a guest star, so it wouldn't be right to expect them to treat him like a principal cast member.

Flag restrictions are typically a way to ban Pride flags without actually saying it out loud.

The film so nice, they podcasted it twice...

Covering the era from The Original Series, to Star Trek: Enterprise, and the films, the franchise is known for celebrating the beauty of exploration and analyzing ethical dilemmas largely based on societal issues.

Interesting - I guess the newer stuff is covered by a separate license.
