I've never been on opiods, so I guess that's not worth discussing, right?

Fair enough - I do think the article makes it clear who the "everyone" is in this case - provincial and federal leadership - but I totally get why you'd bristle at it.

Yeah, the article breezes by it, but Canada's ridiculous procurement efforts have been well-documented elsewhere.

Yeah, I don't think we actually disagree with much - I certainly agree with the priorities you listed.

However, I also think that defense is also a priority - one that is becoming increasingly urgent with the general state of the world and the unreliability of our closest ally, and that has been neglected for decades.

And I'm not sure I buy in to the idea that we have to choose amongst those priorities. That kind of rhetoric is used to justify all kinds of cuts.

Shh, the grownups are talking.

Sure, and I agree. Your point?

Unfortunately, I think the need for defense spending is increasingly clear these days, no?

I was thinking something kind of similar - if they had left Mariner out of it entirely, we could have had a Tendi/T'lyn "Janeway and Chakotay build a bathtub" plot.

It makes me wonder about how much background information Mount was given along with the sides he was reading - honestly, probably very little, or nothing at all.

He certainly seems to be playing the role in a stern-but-friendly way, which is likely not what they were looking for in the case of Lorca.

That particular website tends to trade in ragebait, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Yeah, it's nice to hear they can still get things done, if they're (a) motivated and (b) not being whipped by their leadership.

Much more affordable at animation rates!

I enjoyed this one more than last week's - I think I'm calibrated to prefer the more heartfelt episodes over the sillier ones. And this one added "the purple D" to the lexicon, so that's...a real legacy, is what it is.

The Mariner subplot was pretty thin, and probably could have been cut entirely.

That's a team effort.

Usually the invisible piranhas that live in the shadows.

The moon is a self-replicating space dragon egg.

"This year, the Doctor will tell you the answer to that question you’ve been asking since you were a small child," Moffat proclaims. "The solution to the longest-standing mystery in not merely the Doctor Who universe, but the universe as a whole. Watch on Christmas Day!"

This is guaranteed to be something very silly.

You can't spell "embargo" without "go"!

I doubt he would, yet I also think he's willing to pull just about anything...

A regeneration is cool, but I hope they go fairly minimalist with it. I like the more...explosive regenerations of the modern era well enough, but I don't think they need to be retconned into past ones.
