I can understand the journey, what I don’t understand is the lack of self-awareness around it.
Early trauma and the violation of the Borg explain the change in emotional regulation, but the arrogant lack of ability to take a step back and evaluate his behaviour from the perspective of his own values and previous expectations about behaviour are what I find surprising.
I’m more disappointed that ‘Movie Picard’ and then ‘Picard show Picard’ abandoned, or at least lost the emotional regulation that enabled him to hold onto, many of the principles that made him so admirable and exasperating.
It doesn’t seem like Picard in season three of Picard would have had any of the same qualms, or at least his emotional attachments would have overtaken them.
I wonder what Ben Sisko’s reaction to Picard’s choices in season three would have been. I definitely think he would have called him out, and made Shaw’s critiques look tame.
How are tights not the best thing, even for Jeffries tubes? No less appropriate than track and field athletes training in compression tights.
A scant is really just a long tunic.
@gaghyogi49@tenforward.social has this covered.
See his post.
It looks like the Orion alphabet and language has a one-to-one correlation with English, just for laughs.
“Weird is our business,” sayeth Janeway.
I would love to see the Breen taken on seriously, and had hoped they were the big bad in Picard S3. This doesn’t have the feel of them at all though.
Perhaps Matalas can take a lead out of the Relaunch novelverse Typhon Pact books and give us some serious Breen machinations.
Canada is economically integrated with the United States in a way that Australia is not. Meta and Google understand that precedents weigh differently here.
In addition to restrictions on sharing intelligence from Five Eyes allies beyond the group, let alone publicly, there are also issues with the admissibility of evidence in courts that is gathered under intelligence legal exceptions.
Ensuring that the judicial court process isn’t marred by inappropriate release of intelligence would seem to be a significant challenge in this case.
I think they are, but understand that the dynamics of the situation are different within the North American context.
Here’s the key issue and principle buried deep at the bottom of the article.
She said a main area of discussion at the confab is how globally-minded digital companies had “really revolutionized our industries for a lot of good reasons” and added: “No one is saying to get Facebook or Google out of Canada — Canadians love and appreciate these services.”
Tait said Canadian broadcasters and services were required to pay taxes and services and invest in Canadian content, meaning companies as powerful as Alphabet and Meta would simply be paying into a existing system. “We all have requirements regarding local news so that there is a provision in a country of only 40 million to support our own domestic industry,” she said. “We would ask Facebook to be held responsible in the way we treat our own companies.”
Who better to be a foil for a Vulcan trying to button down and gain the respect of Vulcan Exploratory leadership than a bunch of Betazoids who know what T’Lyn’s feeling and have no patience with her attempts to cover up with logic?
