I think there's a lot of potential.

You get a couple of episodes to get attached to the Deltan character before she gets killed off. You get about four episodes to get attached to Fuzz before his betrayal, which would actually give it some weight. You can actually spend some time exploring what it means for San to have crossed over to the Prime Universe, and how it affects Georgiou (and maybe explain why isn't way older than he appears to be, that'd be nice). You get enough time to make Garrett's arc actually work.

It really seems like ten hours of story stuffed into a two-hour bag.

I...enjoyed the S31 movie on its own terms. I wouldn't call it particularly "good" or recommend it to anyone. Mostly, it just made me sad that we didn't get the full 10-episode season, since it seems apparent that they didn't really change the story - just compressed it to an extreme degree.

The wonky camerawork that people like to single out definitely seems to be a trend that he set. In interviews, he talks a lot about letting the emotion of a scene guide the direction, but I can't really say it shows.

It’s all positive city here, man, I don’t know what to tell you. [laughs]… Yeah, we’re always positive about the future. We never know what the future will bring. But there’s no reason not to be positive about it. Skydance has been terrific, and CBS has been terrific. Paramount plus has been terrific, and we’ll just see what happens.

They got spanked hard in the last election, and I think a lot of them have lost the taste for it.

They're also contending with the now-traditional tug-of-war between the halfway sensible Tories, and the conspiracy-mongering loons. So far, the halfway sensible ones are winning, but with a lot of them choosing to step down...hard to say what will happen next.

It did not - I tried not to get too offended!

Here are a few places that come to mind, of varying levels of prominence.

Riding Mountain National Park

Spruce Woods Provincial Park and the Spirit Sands, our only not-quite desert

Gimli (I just think it's a nice town)

Camp Hughes National Historic Site) (no one seems to know this exists, and it's pretty cool)

The Narcisse Snake Dens (I've never been, personally)

I've also got a link to Travel Manitoba in the sidebar!

Well no, not yours.

My money’s on the red wall of omega-47 being a grossly gigantic con where the isolation of the Federation is not quite the threat it seemed at the end of episode 9.

It would be very funny if Braka only had two omega molecules, and detonated them both last week as a show of force.

Hey, whatever gets us through the winter...

They're riding high in the polls, so it makes strategic sense to get it done ASAP.

They battle to a standstill, and are both taken down by a pting.
