It’s arguably only Prodigy that has faced a similarly unfortunate fate

This is certainly true by the standards laid out, but I'm struck by the fact that the only new series that was more-or-less free of studio fuckery was Picard (which certainly had its own issues).

I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he's 95 years old, and can't be expected to be fully "in touch," and (b) he has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.

 

They've already changed their highly editorialized headline - it originally read,

Manitoba budget banks on federal transfers to promise steep deficit cut, tax-free soda, chips

Yeah, it is very much not the "traditional" King Kong story, which I appreciated, having seen three different versions of that one already. And it definitely has a different tone from Godzilla '14.

You get double coverage that way.

I would never disrespect Bill Watterson like that.

Ooh divisive!

I had a lot of fun with this one. It's definitely light and breezy, but I connected with it in a way that I did not with Godzilla '14.

Well, he's certainly in a better position to know than any of us in the peanut gallery.

Let's hope they get it over with and make an announcement sooner, rather than later.

No doubt - I'd rather have a law like this on the books than not.

But I hate under-enforced laws that are so troublesome to seek justice for that most people don't bother.

I'm not a soccer fan, so maybe I'm part of the problem, but I was pretty disappointed when Valour folded last year. I hope we haven't reached maximum pro sports saturation.

What are the odds this will also come with enough support to enforce it properly?
