That's pretty permissive overall - I like it.

There have been some pilot projects with reduced speed zones in place for a couple of years now in certain neighbourhoods, but I don't think I've seen any data on the outcomes. I guess it tracks that they must be satisfied with them, for them to want to make the change citywide.

I haven't encountered too many of the "clutter" zones, but when I have, they have certainly done their jobs.

I am absolutely okay with Star Trek being just one of many franchises they're managing, and not the largest or most prominent.

In the case of SFA, I do think they'll be looking closely at the demographics - are they actually reaching the younger audience they were hoping to reach? I think that's far more important than "was it a top 10 show" or whatever other limited metrics are available to us.

I could go on a whole rant about how that should be impossible, but I think I'm happy to let a gag be a gag in this case.

Yeah, I don't think I've heard an update on the situation since December, which is a little weird.

But in this case, with Sobeys, I hope that the municipal board has some teeth and cannot be ignored.

The situation in Brandon is ridiculous - they moved across the street to a location in the mall, and are just squatting on the lease of the old location so no one else can move in.

It's going to continue to gather strength, and will eventually be the villain of season four.

In the Granite Curling Club case, the argument is that the Board was exceeding its authority by imposing conditions on a specific permit, rather than the actual bylaw.

I'm very thankful that I'm not well-versed enough in the minutia of local politics to have a strong opinion on the validity of this claim.

You have Nus in custody, but we saw how well that went last time. So will we see Paul again in Season 2?

Kurtzman: No, not in Season 2. There’s nothing we want more than to bring Paul back and there’s nothing Paul wants more than to come back, so we are going to figure that out in Season 3.

This is the kind of confidence I'm looking for right now.

Okay yeah, I knew it was ringing a bell. I think they probably should have called that back at least once during the season. I can barely remember things for one week, let alone nine.

Honestly, I've never paid attention to fan productions, so I didn't even know this thing existed, but you're right about one thing - if nothing else, it looks gorgeous.

I find it wild that they can use actual footage from the shows to promote this thing. Is this just the BBC being less litigious?

She married Saru in DIS’ series finale.

That was President T'Rina of Ni'Var, not Rillak.

I thought the various chyrons were a lot of fun, and very consistent with Braka's unhinged energy.

 

When an old enemy resurfaces as an existential threat to the Federation, Nahla must outwit a vengeful foe with a personal vendetta against her — as our cadets and instructors undertake a dangerous, seemingly impossible, mission to save everyone and everything they hold dear.
