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.

  • The responses are all live in the thread! Or you can check out the u/karim account to see them all in chronological order (but without the questions, which is...challenging).

  • I watched the first few as a curiosity, but checked out after that.

    Does anyone have kids in the target demographic that have seen it?

  • ...dammit, that's a good thought.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • We wanted to make sure there was lots of time to accumulate questions, but the Fediverse is unsurprisingly rising to the occasion.

  • What was the audition process like? Did you have any clue what you were auditioning for, or was it buried under 47 layers of secrecy?

  • I struggle to think of things to say about "Nemesis", one way or the other.

    I do like the Remans. We need more Remans in our lives.

  • We're always here if you want to hang out with the best group of dumbasses you'll ever find online.

  • +24 hours. But you can still be excited!

  • Much has been made about the expansive Starfleet Academy set, but have you done much location work so far? Are there any interesting places you can mention?

  • "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."

  • I haven't done a deep dive into the reviews, but it looks like it's going to be one of those "fine, if you're into that sort of thing" games.

  • It'll be interesting to hear what he has to say for himself.
