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

  • I agree with all of your examples but Harry, and I think it's meaningful that the rest are mainly...well, cadets.

    This is something that Star Trek has always explored.

    Sure, but there's at least potential here to give it a more in-depth treatment.

    I'm a lot more interested in the way the 32nd century setting plays into it all.

  • Cities need to overcome the fear of the first step in change

    Jump

  • There are probably a lot of lessons that could be learned from Portage & Main.

    For the vast majority of the city's population, it was a place to pass through, not a place to exist, and it was absurd to have a city-wide referendum on it (I'm against referendums in general, but that's another discussion). Regional polling consistently showed that the people who actually live in the area supported re-opening the intersection to pedestrians.

    The fears surrounding re-opening the intersection were stoked by former mayor Sam Katz for years, in the interest of cheap political points.

    Sprinkle in some NIMBY businesses in the concourse below the interesection, and you have a recipe for inaction. Things only changed when they received a $74 million estimate to maintain the underground concourse.

    Honestly, it's such a word salad that I can't possibly be mad about it, if only because I was unable to decipher what, exactly, he was talking about.

  • 'Too much regulation, not enough action': Carney rebuffs Trudeau's climate policies

    Jump

  • I'm not super comfortable with a lot of what he's saying, but it would be pretty tough to make the case that "not enough action" isn't an accurate statement.

    According to new data released from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the country will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels.

    I'm deeply skeptical that his approach is going to do any better, but I support the idea of boosting investment in clean(er) alternatives. And he did get Alberta to agree to increase their industrial carbon price.

  • I've gotta say, with the exception of DS9, "traditional" Trek was fairly allergic to character development. Growing and learning were rarely a priority, to put it mildly.

    Jump

  • I mean yeah, those days are gone and they're not coming back.

    I don't think there was any "tradition" to it - it was just the dominant model at the time, and is now on its last legs.

  • He elaborates a bit that is a thin margin, but he loves the hell out of DS9.

    He also describes the vibe of his SFA character in a fairly spoiler-free way.

    The interviewer has seen the first episode and says it's real good, and Giamatti says episode six is a highlight.
