It's certainly encouraging that he's at least expecting to do a third series. I've always assumed that the BBC would carry on even if the Disney deal ends.

It's interesting how quickly multiverse stuff became a tired trope in current genre TV/film.

Lower Decks being what it is, I suspect it will be a one-off gag.

Fair Vote Canada had some thoughts on that portion of the interview.

The wording is vague, but I think there's a chance it will be the complete set, or as close to it as possible.

They built the whole thing for the show, so hopefully they had the good sense to keep it all.

The great thing about DW is that you can redo an origin as often as you want, and it's all equally canon!

I think I'll go with Narnia. It wouldn't be boring.

Yeah, it's just sort of...meandering.

I think I have a bit of Borg fatigue, and also multiverse fatigue, which does not help.

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.

This is a Florida joke waiting to happen.

Oh, also:

TRANSPORTER SHOWER

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.

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.

The Mastodon version of this Lemmy post should contain the link (and does, when I look at it).
