I'm just mad we're exporting the stuff for free.

We get some additional mentions of how young Rose is, which always kind of throws me.

Yeah, I've never bought the whole "19 years old" thing.

i would guess getting the earth to destroy itself with its own weapons would skirt around any shadow proclamation rules outlawing their behaviour.

Damn that Prime Directive!

I think it's high time they showed us literally anything from "Academy." Footage would be great, photos would be acceptable.

The low end of the merchandise continuum seems to be their biggest weakness. This higher-detail, higher-end stuff is plentiful, but the prices are unreal.

Yeah let's face it if you're going to own a model Gorn, this is the one you want.

All Gorn are beautiful!

They seem to be playing things close to the vest for now, but I'm sure that will all come out in time.

It's such a shame, too - I really want the Schooners to exist.

I don't think that sort of arrangement is all that unusual - deposits are generally used to gauge interest, in addition to funding the project. And they appear to have had CFL backing.

Where they got sketchy is the apparent lack of an automatic refund process.

That's a mighty thin schedule.

I'm not thrilled that the Bombers are off again this week - hopefully they don't accrue too many injuries after this, because the schedule's going to be a grind.

I've started and stopped trying to put together a reply to this several times, and I'm not really any closer to anything coherent.

The bottom line is that I have historically liked Fontaine as an MLA. I think her concern - obstructed sightlines from the stage - is understandable.

But I can't fathom expressing those frustrations in that manner. There's really no excuse. Whether that's worth a resignation...I don't know. I wouldn't be mad if she stepped down, but I'm also not necessarily mad that she hasn't. I guess time will tell whether she learned anything.

Riker claimed in “Lonely Among Us” that humans ”no longer enslave animals for food purposes.”

There are so many other purposes.

policies and legislation that undermine competitiveness, delay project development and disproportionately harm specific provinces and territories without any quantifiable benefits to the natural environment

What.

Faint praise, but this one's a lot better than the first part of the story. The "farting" aspect of the farting aliens is significantly downplayed in favour of things that are actually interesting.

The emotional core of the story is the Doctor and Rose each coming to terms with how dangerous life with the Doctor is, and the effects it can have. I'd forgotten that Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North comments on how flippant Rose is about death, even at this early stage (too early?) of the series.

There are plot contrivances all over the place - the UK's nuclear codes are controlled by the UN! You can hack the Royal Navy's submarines and launch missiles from your home PC! But I'm pretty forgiving of stuff like that, as long as the emotional core of the episode is solid.

I understand the frustration, but at this point, getting it done in 2025 likely isn't realistic - certainly not getting it done by the end of cycling season.

It's a big one - I was feeling ambitious.

"I basically pitched the Doctor too quick but I did it in my very first episode and I've regretted it ever since!"

I...don't disagree. Even by Doctor Who standards, Thirteen's dialogue tended to fly by pretty quickly.
