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

  • Interesting - it's possible we're drawing from different sources. I found this TrekMovie piece:

    He was supposed to be directing Genesis’s episode, actually, in season 2, but there was some conflict going on, and hopefully he’ll be back again. He’s the warmest, kindest person.

  • Yeah, this is already something they can (and do) do under the terms of NORAD.

  • (The actor who plays Genesis recently let slip when asked about Jonathan Frakes, that he’d been originally scheduled to direct her character’s second season feature episode but there had been “fighting going on” and Frakes was pushed back to directing a later episode!)

    Oh interesting...I tracked this down, and it looks like she said "conflict," which could mean...just about anything, right down to simple scheduling conflicts.

    One thing's for certain: making TV is hard.

    What if it's Jay-Den? He's certainly featured in a number of the stills.

  • Carney announces suite of food affordability measures, including boost to GST rebate

    Jump

  • Yes, indeed.

    This strategy will include measures to implement unit price labelling so Canada can compare easily in this era of 'shrinkflation,' as well as support for the work of the Competition Bureau in monitoring and enforcing competition in our market," he said.

    This would be a welcome requirement in my books.

  • The whole situation is rather odd, but I'm not comfortable speculating about what may have happened.

    I'm just glad that things seem to be okay between Wiseman and production, and there at least seems to be a chance that we'll see more of her in the future.

    "All Is Possible" was really not a favourite of mine, though.

    He's got some serious chemistry with Jay-Den, too.

  • Where is Sylvia Tilly?

    She was only ever announced as a guest star (which is bizarre), and one report has suggested that she'll only be in one episode this season (which is...bizarrer).

    Mary Wiseman was at the premier though, so I assume she's on good terms with everyone. Maybe we'll see more of her in season two.

  • Kurtzman has made some nebulous comments about there being some overlap, so I was open to the possibility that this was happening between seasons or during season five or something.

  • Not a lot to say about this one - I'm just glad Reno found someone.

    And we have a stardate!

    868858.7 - that puts it pretty definitively after DSC season 5 (coda excepted), assuming stardates are, you know, linear.
