Including vendor junk food items in the giveaway is certainly a choice, but from the picture it looks like there will eventually be things that people actually want...

All interviews I've seen have said this is the mainstream Doctor.

Which doesn't mean Picardo couldn't do double-duty for an episode or three...

In all seriousness, from what I've seen Picardo say about the Doctor's state of mind, I wonder if he abandoned any name(s) he'd chosen as he watched his loved ones grow old and die.

Joe The Doctor

I was expecting 50 minutes of them holding hands under a tree!

Okay, okay.

Suboptimal.

There may not be snow (snow by Halloween is neither unusual nor a given), but the temperatures should be comfortably around 0 - good enough to maintain the ice, and be comfortable for spectators.

That said, Winnipeg hit 16 degrees on October 25 this year, which is not ideal.

Xenophobic military propaganda?

Okay, I'll bite on this.

I'll grant that it's been a long time, but that seems like the opposite of the message of both that episode and the season as a whole...

I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

On the Canadian side, it's still technically up in the air, but you've got your sure-thing players like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid.

But there are a lot of players who would love a spot - it's a once-or-twice in a lifetime opportunity, so it's a bit of a subplot around the league as players are hoping to impress their respective Olympic Committees.

It's worth noting that it's an Olympic year, which is always a nationalistic good time.

Wrestling's an interesting..."sport" isn't quite the right word, but I can't think of what else to call it right now. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but it was also pretty inescapable in the late 90s, so I've seen my fair share.

It's absolutely a performance, but especially over the last couple of decades, the industry has shifted away from maintaining "kayfabe" and mostly just embraces the phoniness (though they still play it absolutely straight in the ring).

At the end of the day, it's a very unique type of performance art that requires both athleticism and, for the most successful wrestlers, acting chops.

And yeah, there are definitely toxic aspects to it and its fan base.

What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

A bunch of people in pyjamas flying around at faster-than-light speeds? Seems like a gimmick to me...

I would love them to continue the continuity of the previous series, but...that's a lot of continuity...

And the third reason for the Klingons and their inclusion in The Last Starship is connected to Starfleet Academy, so we can’t really talk about it except to say that we’re laying some exciting groundwork for that series.

Hmm...

At this point, I'm comfortable assuming that the Beeb wants it released in December, Disney doesn't, and neither party cares to budge.

Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis...

Congratulations to the Riders - this team deserved it, and their fanbase certainly does.

This was a very entertaining game, lots of fun to watch. The Riders were the better team for the vast majority - nearly flawless, outside of a handful of penalties.

The Als brought the fight, and even after Alexander re-aggravated his hamstring injury, there was still a sense that they could pull something off.

That is so 90s it hurts.
