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!

I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

"As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

I feel like the obvious rewrites to cover Gatwa's exit were so jarring, it's hard to feel overly positive about the twist.

But taken in isolation...IDK, there's potential there. It's all about the execution.

With RTD still on board, he's all but guaranteed to do...whatever it is he has in mind with Billie Piper.

Whether it's a one-off or an ongoing thing is pretty hard to say.

A "search for the Doctor" arc could actually be an interesting change of pace, assuming Piper isn't playing the Doc.

I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

The BBC just confirmed that the show will continue and will return with a Christmas special in 2026 penned by showrunner Russell T. Davies.

Good. Let's just put it all behind us and move forward.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we've reached the breaking point.
