Oh awesome, you beat me to it, so yours stays up! Cross-posts are welcome - this community is not meant to be a one-man show.

This is already being walked back:

“Of course we’re funding roads,” Guilbeault said. “We have programs to fund roads, but we have said — and maybe I should have been more specific in the past — is that we don’t have funds for large projects like the Troisième lien that the CAQ has been trying to do for for many years.”

The wiggle room within Star Trek is that the Tkon Empire was supposedly wiped out by a supernova despite being a highly advanced civilization, and in "Second Sight" the DS9 crew boosts the top speed of a ship to warp 9.5, which suggests that a supernova can have superliminal consequences.

But there's nothing to suggest the Tkon supernova was a natural phenomenon, and the hijinks they were up to in "Second Sight" certainly wasn't.

Stars go supernova occasionally

Not spontaneously, with only a handful of years' notice, they don't.

I'm all for Trek science being a little weird, but it seems very likely that there was some funny business going on for the star to suddenly blow up and threaten the entire galaxy.

That's from tie-in material, not the film itself.

Indeed, the article devotes three paragraphs to that explanation.

The idea had crossed my mind, and the timeline of the "ancient artifact" lines up well enough. I'd also like to see the Romulan supernova addressed...

However, I'd actually prefer it to be handled by "Lower Decks", which is set in that rough timeframe.

Star Trek isn't Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it's Star Trek.

No details about the format yet, as near as I can tell.

Interesting, isn't it? I saw a number of people making that same observation during one of the migration waves.

It's an interesting idea, but I wonder if the "Twitter-like" design of Mastodon is more appealing to brands than the "Reddit-like" design of Lemmy.

Yeah, I did think that was odd.

Hmm yeah it looks like they deleted it for some reason. I'll try to keep an eye out for whether it gets reposted.

I really don't get this. He doesn't resemble Jim Carrey at all, and he certainly doesn't act like him.

Per Memory Alpha,

In interviews the producers of Voyager have said they felt Locarno's actions in that episode made him "irredeemable". (TNG Season 5 DVD-special feature, Memorable Missions Year Five: "The First Duty")

It certainly would have been interesting to see what they did with her over time. I have my doubts that she ever would have become a very deep character, but I'm sure she would have had some decent episodes.

At the very least, they could have done more to explore her background in a more fulfilling way than they did with the episode featuring her sister.

Well, these were "very Short Treks", which were a different thing. Just a promotional gimmick, not genuine episodes the way the original Short Treks were.

The article is a little unclear, but it's very likely he was answering a question.

That, too!

This Featured Event will be the first of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the latest installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. For 2024, we're changing things up a bit. You'll need to participate in six events in total in order to earn the Grand Prize. However, the Grand Prize is changing, as well. Instead of having to choose between a Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, two Free T6 Zen Store Coupons, or 1500 Lobi, you will receive all three. No more difficult choices, just get all of the rewards at once!

This is...really good.
