Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • Yeah, I exaggerate, but I think the message was definitely that it's okay to embrace your inner cockiness, which I think is an untraditional (but interesting!) message.

  • But despite a lot of talk about seaweed and “we’ve all got gills”, everybody looks peculiarly human.

    I assume because this moon has (conveniently) become a desert over the years.

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • I don't have a real issue with floor-crossing, since it's true to the principle that you're supposed to vote for the principle, not the party.

    But it's pretty tough to deny that that's simply not the way most people vote.

    Jump

  • Well, that was certainly a low-stakes palate cleanser after last week's more intense episode. Probably a little too low-stakes for my liking.

    They seemed intent on inverting common tropes in this one:

    The "arranged marriage" storyline didn't play out in a way that we've really seen before.

    Similarly, Darem's overall arc of "I need to stop being such a people-pleaser so I can be my more authentic, dickish self" is...a twist.

    Caleb and Genesis put any "will they/won't they" plotlines to rest (though I suppose they could revisit it).

    And Genesis' deep, dark secret turned out to be...not that deep. As much as I appreciate the inversion and that she didn't turn out to be a Species 10-C spy or something, I feel like we still don't know enough about Genesis. We're going to have to meet her dad to really get to the bottom of her character, I think.

  • "Those conversations [with his family over the holidays] have been honest, difficult and deeply personal at times. But they also led me to reflect on the gravity of the moment that our country is living through — which our prime minister addressed head on in his speech at Davos. For Canada, this is a moment that demands steady leadership, constructive collaboration between all parliamentarians."

    "After further reflection with my family, and conversations with colleagues and constituents, I will be continuing to serve in Parliament — and I will be working with Prime Minister Mark Carney as a part of his new government to help build our country’s strength as we face the challenges ahead."
