Yeah, I only really thought of them because (a) the Memory Alpha page for “Exoskeleton” mentioned them, and (b) people have been comparing Zeph here to the Borg since images first came out.

Disregarding the Borg, I can’t think of any others.

Zeph has moved into my head, and he’s not moving out.

Star Trek has certainly never shied away from “fun and silly” before. I think it’s good to have different flavours available.

As long as I enjoy this thing, it should be enough for me.

The questions are pretty good. One thing that they didn’t include is the spectre of people choosing MAID due to deficiencies in the health care system, rather than the medical condition itself. I had to write that one in.

You don’t have to lower the requirements - you just have to make it easier and more affordable to pass local competency exams and get a license.

So sad, yet so delicious.

I don’t want to get too excited in this time of contraction in the entertainment industry, but it’s exciting that they’re opening the door to this era.

If I remember correctly, it’s somewhat controversial amongst family farmers who want to leave the farm to their children, so the Cons may think it plays well to their base from that angle.

Yeah, seldom have I regretted my policy of not editing headlines more than when I posted this.

It’s worth mentioning that STO has transitioned to a German dev team, so maybe there’s a translation thing going on.

The presence of a young Rachel Garrett seems to suggest it (she was likely born around 2300, so the movie could take place around 2330).

I don’t know if we’ll see any actual maroons, though - I think they’re operating outside of the Federation.

quick get Sam Witwer on the phone

the Discovery-era

Well, this seems poised to be set sometime after “The Undiscovered Country,” which is actually one of the more interesting aspects for me.

He handles himself well, but it’s light on policy. The closest he comes is saying something about how Canadians deserve a carbon tax that puts the burden on big companies, and not on the people. This would seem to suggest he would make some changes there.

Maybe, but he didn’t have anything to do with this carbon tax, and his Jon Stewart interview seemed to hint that he feels some changes might be in order there.

Per Twitter, this giveaway has been delayed.

My plan is to go in expecting a goofy action movie, and hopefully I’ll find at least parts of it more compelling than that.

I’ve always felt that the Georgiou character is potentially interesting, and I liked her Discovery send-off. Of the “new” characters, Alok sounds interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with Garrett.

I’m giving myself 50/50 odds of enjoying it.

Okay then, the next election will happen when the next election is called.

Let me know if I used any words that are too big for you.
