Well, that's a bombshell.

Yeah, unfortunately basic geography means there's likely a hard limit on how much diversification is realistic.

We absolutely should do everything we can to reduce our reliance on the US, but options become limited once you remove rail and road from the equation.

Pfft you're gonna believe some ivory tower elites in...

...Alberta?

I liked how William Boimler was so done with Multiverse fatigue. Felt topical given the current Hollywood trend.

Agreed - it was nice to see them tackle multiverse fatigue head-on. It was even nicer to have Lily(!) provide a bit of a rebuttal to it, and argue that such stories don't have to be hacky.

I've found the season to be a little lacklustre, but I really liked this one. The gags seemed like more than just gags, and the story was more engaging than I thought many of them have been recently.

Having Jolene ~~Blalock~~ back was a real treat.

Sahar is “super old,” extending his life through genetic augmentation and cryo sleep.

This is a somewhat different take from what I've been thinking - my interpretation of things that have been revealed so far is that he's an unfrozen Augment prisoner in the Khan tradition.

I get it. I'm obsessed with Streamline Moderne, myself.

Retro-futurism at its finest.

Well...retro now.

I'm glad to finally get a hint of a plot, even though it sound pretty much like what I expected it to be.

Sam Richardson's character sounds pretty entertaining based on a single line.

My partner and I (well, her really) have pretty modern taste, and coincidentally own a couple of lamps from the newer shows.

I thought this was a nice palate-cleanser.

The premise is a genre staple, including of course the original "Lower Decks" episode. I particularly enjoyed just how full of bullshit a typical day is for Captain Freeman.

I strongly object!

Pop-Up Video was a VH1 show.

 

"Importantly, these changes include strict limits on disclosing personal information about Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or any individuals in Canada, as well as the names of Canadian entities or corporations, without additional authorizations," said Townsend.

Poilievre's decision not to go through security screening means that no one in the party is in a position to act on the intelligence or challenge its accuracy, said Trudeau.

"The decision by the leader of the Conservative Party to not get those classified briefings means that nobody in his party, not him, nobody in a position of power knows the names of these individuals and can take appropriate action," he said.

"It also means nobody is there to stand up for those individuals if the intelligence is shoddy or incomplete or just allegations from a single source."

 

With the new poster having dropped, I thought it might be fun to compile the various Lower Decks posters, along with their theatrical poster counterparts. So...why don't we do that?
