He's very obviously being cheeky...

It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.

I think that's pretty universal, and it's been the case for decades.

Yeah...I mean, this run had to end sometime, but it's tough to see things fail to come together so utterly. We'll have to see what the future holds.

AFAIK, GM Kyle Walters' contract is also up this year, and I have no idea whether he wants to stick around.

He's originally from Ontario, and was with the Argos for a total of ten years as a player, and three years as the special teams coach.

Between that and the somewhat doom-and-gloom sense that we might have reached the end of an era in Winnipeg...I don't know, I think it makes a kind of sense.

It's the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that's under provincial jurisdiction...

I just mentioned the O'Shea possibility in another thread, and sure enough, he's the poster boy for this article...

Thinking a little more about the Toronto situation...Mike O'Shea is not currently under contract in Winnipeg, and is a former Argo (as both a player and a coach).

As much as he seems to like it with the Bombers, I could easily see him returning to his old team.

Huh - was his departure from Toronto expected?

Ottawa is my Eastern team, mainly because I dig their goofy aesthetic, so I definitely welcome any moves to make them more competitive.

Honestly, I'd take this with a small grain of salt.

I don't doubt Variety's reporting, but this amounts to a bullet point in a larger article, and while I'm sure they've "moved on" from whatever they had cooking, I think it's also possible that they could develop another project with that crew, if they have a script that they like well enough.

We'll see what happens - it's been years of them being unable to get a project going, and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

I don't think it's that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.

The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don't think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.

You know, yet.

I wonder is Lear ever tried to meet up with her Noonien Singh relatives?

With Tuvok's comment about using his position to advocate for augments, I wonder if they're considering a Tim Russ/Christina Chong spinoff.

I think I agree with your overall sentiment - not the greatest thing I've ever heard, but I'm glad they made it.

The highlights for me were the semi-rehabilitation of McGivers, and the fleshing out of Khan's cult followers. And I'm glad they didn't go down the "Khan wasn't so bad" road, instead going with, "Khan was a pretty bad guy who maybe could have turned it around under different circumstances," which...is a pretty Star Trek message, even if it's not one I was very interested in exploring.

They should be assaulted, and possibly murdered, by the other inmates. Because that's a feature of the system, I guess.

Nothing to see here, just a provincial premier advocating for prisoner violence as a core component of the corrections system...

Despite being absolutely terrible for half the game, the Bombers managed to make things pretty interesting before the end of that one. But in the end, they suffered the fate that they deserved this season. See you next year.

Montreal is a very good team, but I'm going to hop on the BC Lions bandwagon for the remainder of the playoffs. I like Buck Pierce, and Nathan Rourke is a good Canadian story.

Yeah, I agree - I think he did plenty of promotion.

The official announcement contains this gem:

The series is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for the BBC and Disney Branded Television and will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK in December, and exclusively on Disney+ outside of the UK (where available) in 2026.

I thought the Disney deal was unquestionably a good thing at the time, too - it looks like it went as badly as it possibly could have, though.

As for RTD...I honestly thought he delivered two typical RTD seasons. A few absolutely terrific episodes, a bunch of silly camp, and unbelievably messy finales. Not too different from his original run, IMO.

That's what he does best!

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!
