That cat ain't coming back - RTD has always been a rather bloodthirsty showrunner.
Couldn't agree less - I think the 32nd century is a fantastic setting, especially for a show like this.
CBC is reporting this as fact, not an allegation - it's safe to assume that they know exactly who these campaign workers are.
There are also decent reasons not to name them just yet - if they're low-level staffers, it's worth trying to get a comment from the Party first, and/or try to determine how far up the ladder this goes. No sense in scapegoating the grunts until the higher-ups are ID'd.
On Friday night, in two Ottawa bars, campaign workers shared how the party was behind this move — how two Liberal Party staffers attended the conference intended for conservatives and placed these buttons in areas where attendees would find them.
One of those conversations was in the immediate earshot of this journalist. A Conservative source overheard the other conversation.

Great, it just became easier to dismiss legitimate criticism of the Conservatives as a false-flag operation.
Brilliant move.
Watching it back, I think I was bumped by the fact that Belinda decides to turn herself in while the area is being shelled, and they then cut immediately to her going to the polishbot, but the attack is over by then.
Okay, paintball guns that create sparks on impact are rad. I wonder if they're widely used in the industry - this is the first I've heard of it.
Also rad? That Unleashed isn't a BBC/iPlayer exclusive any more.
One thing I forgot to mention: is it just me, or was there a very confusing edit in the middle of the scene in which the rebel base was under attack. They were taking fire, shit was going crazy, and then...it was dead calm while we saw Belinda reactivating the floor polisher. Which I guess was a flashback?
I thought that was a very solid season opener - it certainly surpassed my modest expectations.
I didn't think much of the retrofuturistic stylings in the previews, but the robots won me over with their absolutely ridiculous arms.
It's interesting that the Doctor was on the planet for six months - wasn't that also the length of time he and Ruby went on adventures between "Space Babies" and "The Devil's Chord". This episode has to take place after "Boom", though, so it might be a coincidence. It's just in my head because it does sound like we're going to get a glimpse of those six missing months later this season.
Making the villain a manosphere chud was rather timely (or maybe just evergreen over the past decade or so), especially on the heels of the discourse around Netflix's "Adolescence".
Ni'Var in Discovery does seem to be on that path, particularly with the Romulo-Vulcan faction.
