This was another decent episode. I have to say, though, I don’t think this season is “hitting” for me quite as much as past seasons.

Does it get any better than Dadmiral Vance?

No doubt assisted by the bloody cut on the throwing hand of Blue Bombers’ starting QB, Zach Callaros, in the 3rd quarter.

No question, though it seemed like the Bombers sort of lost the plot at halftime. Maybe they enjoyed the Jonas Brothers a little too much.

I don’t think it was.

I really don’t think it’s up to them.

In this economy?

To be fair, it’s also not supported by any other articles.

Hey, maybe you’ll be able to sue them for stealing your ideas.

I’d watch that - there aren’t enough movies featuring water polo.

Why would anyone want to reduce Boimler’s beard by one tenth?

Yeah, in October. That’s nearly a year away.

“Unfrozen augment” certainly got my attention.

There’s potentially a lot of time before the next election, and campaigns matter.

Things look bleak, but I don’t think I’d call it a “foregone conclusion.”

This honestly warms my frozen Manitoban heart.

It would be great if we would all show a little more collective pride and promote the places we live as, you know, nice places to visit.

Every place in this country has something to offer.

I might have to check this one out - I didn’t realize they’d started publishing new novels that don’t tie in to the current series, and this one sounds like it was written with me specifically in mind.

There’s actually more information in here than I would have expected.

I’ve [Alok] been augmented, and I have been cryoed. I am cryo chambered, and I am super old, but my young gun can live for those years of the pain and or rectify the years of pain. And I think he a lot does a lot of that, he is trying to get past his stuff with the use of the team.

We wrote the backstory [for Zeph] that he’s actually paraplegic. He did it to himself by trying to augment himself. And the suit is his wheelchair. He’s completely dependent on the suit, but the suit gives him all that extra power and strength… Obviously, in the future, we’ve moved past debilitating diseases, but there are still reasons that you might need assistance or a wheelchair. And the idea was to do a really positive iteration of what a wheelchair is by it being a suit.

I think when we first come to her [Garrett] in this adventure, she’s very by the book, very tightly wound, black and white, there’s no gray area in her life. It’s right or wrong. Yes, she’s a stickler for that kind of thing, and so she appreciates the systems that she exists in. She feels comfort in knowing what’s expected of her… I’m there to look over things, to make sure we’re coloring inside the lines, at least in the beginning. I’ve been placed here as a little bit of a taskmaster, stickler for the rules, and maybe the ebbs and flows.

The Klowakhans are definitely an amusing twist on Star Trek monocultures, especially when stacked up against Klingon farmers who still can’t escape the call of the warrior.

There’s also a slight chance that critics who have become so used to shitting on things that they’ve lost their ability to enjoy anything might be a nod to internet culture in general.

Great to see Mary Chieffo’s name in the credits.

Sam Witwer, too - he stepped in to play Tenavik in place of Kenneth Mitchell in Star Trek Online a few years ago, but otherwise hasn’t appeared in Star Trek since “Enterprise.”

Except that Trump-style government will have negative knock-on effects on the Canadian status quo, and people will inevitably blame the current administration for that…
