Interesting take. Do you have an example?

All right, I'm convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.

I struggle to put my feelings on speculation into words. Obviously, it has its place, and there would be something very wrong with the show if we didn't feel the urge to speculate about where the story is headed.

I think it's runaway speculation that spawns ridiculous conspiracy theories that really irks me, if that makes sense.

It all makes sense when you (don’t) think (too hard) about it!

You need to trademark this and license it to the BBC ASAP.

I like the cut of this guy's jib.

IIRC he acknowledged it was well-made for what it was.

Honestly, I think he just realized he had no choice.

The conflict between Roddenberry and Meyer is pretty well-known, but I agree it would be...interesting to see the original documents.

And with them, a brand new holographic representation of a Starfleet Bridge Officer who famously busted a ghost of her own!

Maybe he can play both...

Apparently it was an Ira Behr thing:

Ira Steven Behr has a fascination with the Battle of the Alamo and he and Hans Beimler included a reference in "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night". Later, Ronald D. Moore and Rene Echevarria began to include references in their scripts. Some fans thought that the writers were hinting the series would end with a battle like the Alamo, which the writers had no intention of doing, having already featured such scenes in "The Way of the Warrior". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)

Briggs could do it, no question.

I can't help but respect how utterly full of shit that man is.

Follow-up question: do we want to start one, in this space?

It will definitely be good to have Shirley back - her absence last season was very conspicuous.

Paramount Parks shut down way back in 2006, so if they don't want to try to re-enter that space (which I think would be financially...unwise), partnering with existing parks is probably the best move.

No idea - these things are often cast under code names, at least when it comes to TV and film, so it could be really hard to determine.

I'd say this is set up to be Kinew's first big policy failure, but I'm not sure whether it will stick.

The fact that opposition to the plan is fuelled by conspiracy nutjobs suggests that the Tories won't do much to oppose Kinew's decision, despite the fact that the plan was put together under the Pallister government.

Not enough knives.

I wonder if it will amount to a whole lot of nothing, with the municipalities that "opted out" complying with 99% of what's covered by the agreement anyway.

Yeah, the "audio adventures" description threw me a bit.

The Susan Twist narration for one of them is fun, though.

Yeah, I think Tilly and Vance can serve to "pass the torch" just fine, though I'm excited at the possibility that the other characters could pop up at any time.
