Instead they showed him as normal, then suddenly revealed him to be horrible, and did a little flashback.

I mean he was kind of horrible from the very first scene, with the "miss" bullshit and his comment about girls being bad at math. He was never showed as normal.

But, then they included the racism, but only in a “dream sequence”? That both acknowledges that the racism was massive in the 1950s, but somehow simultaneously pretends that in the “real world” it didn’t exist?

Again, no. They acknowledged that the diner was segregated - it just so happened that the employee and grieving mother didn't care. There were people who weren't fans of segregation at that time.

But, he has never taunted someone who was captured before. Much more doctorish would have been to attempt to reform him.

"The Family of Blood" anyone? "The Christmas Invasion"?

It's a Federal program that's intended to end jurisdictional bullshit over support for off-reserve First Nations children, which has been...less than successful.

I hadn't thought of it before, but there are aspects of this description that are similar to "Demons of the Punjab". That was hands-down my favourite Thirteenth Doctor episode, so I'm very intrigued by this one.

There's absolutely no reason to think any show is being made "instead of" another.

Edit: And as Newsome herself stated, this series has not been greenlit. It may not get made at all.

I don’t think you needed [sic]

Just wanted to make sure - I stumbled over that sentence when reading it!

Honestly, I couldn't disagree more - I think the season so far has been quite solid.

In any case, this article is about marketing and promotional opportunities for Disney.

It's pretty hard to make the case that we "need" any work of fiction.

At SDCC CBS sent us a synopsis, essentially a workplace comedy on a vacation planet – not Risa, not in the Federation. So are those fundamentals are still the same?

Those fundamentals are the same. But what I can tell you is what we’re really working on exploring, are the sort of overlooked sections of what happens when a world and a culture that is not that was not [sic] in the Federation. What happens when they decide to be?… So Federation outsiders and what’s kind of the nitty gritty involved with joining the Federation and involved with… yeah, I’m really struggling [to avoid spoilers]

That's an interesting adjustment...

Well you see, she doesn't support sovereignty, and has to stop them from starting their own party, so obviously she has to give them what they want, stoke the flames, and make it easier to hold a referendum.

It's so simple!

It is - we do have a KDF equivalent, Qo'noS Guard, for our alts, but it's fairly inactive. I don't think anyone plays KDF as their main.

We also have a chat channel that's shared across both fleets, so if anyone happens to join, let me know and I can arrange an invite and fleet promotions.

At this point, "one crank neurologist" seems to be the most likely explanation by far.

If only - I don't think the community here is large/active enough to have its own fleet.

My fleet (Sol Guard) does have open registrations, and happens to be part of the Reddit Armada, but it predates startrek.website by years, and I wouldn't call it "official".

This was an independent study, not the government investigation.

The league announced Wednesday officials with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) twice tried to reach Collaros by phone and another time via email over a two-hour period. It added Collaros, 36, failed to respond within 24 hours, which usually would result in a two-game suspension.

The league said after a review it shortened the suspension to one game, citing "extenuating circumstances."

The CFL also stated Collaros has never tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug under the joint CFL/CFL Players' Association drug policy.

The difference is, unlike the Prime Directive, we want these principles to be followed.

Defederation isn't the only option listed there - the other options can be, and have been, deployed across a number of instances that are still otherwise federated.

The moral of the story is to give credit where it’s due.

This is very funny to me - normalize announcing the moral in advance of the episode!

If Mrs. Flood really is a Time Lady called the Governor, it's only appropriate for her to have a companion.

The original promo, in all its glory.
