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

  • '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.

  • ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Wraps Production – Watch Anson Mount’s Final Set Tour

    Jump

  • 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.

  • ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Wraps Production – Watch Anson Mount’s Final Set Tour

    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.

  • Oh, that's a rare treat - you don't see full transcripts very often.

    Jump

  • Define "traditional."

  • I suppose it will be 46 when all is said and done.

  • Paul Giamatti Ranks His Favorite Star Trek Shows and Talks Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Watch: ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Cast Introduce Their Cadet Characters

    Jump

  • Casualties include injured, don’t they?

    They do, but equating it to "fatalities" is a pretty common mistake. Unfortunate.

    everyone’s mouths looked like they were moving kinda weird during the action shots.

    I didn't notice that, but it may have been a playback issue.

    As far as the character introductions go, there's not much to them. Genesis seems like an arrogant tryhard. SAM seems like a...cheerful Data-type? Jay-Den just seems like a Klingon. Darem seems like...another tryhard, but less arrogant than Genesis.

    Caleb's is kind of odd, as it features very little Caleb. I guess he seems kind of cocky, but it's hard to say.

  • Bombardier wins $753M federal contract to replace RCAF’s Challenger fleet

    Jump

  • Also, it looks like these jets will be for operations like medevac and disaster relief, with VIP transport continuing to be gravely by the Airbus CC-330.

    This article muddies that a bit by delving into the past controversies with the use of the Challengers as VIP transport.

  • Bombardier wins $753M federal contract to replace RCAF’s Challenger fleet

    Jump

  • It looks like the Global 6500 is a new/in-development plane, but it's a business jet, which is one of the few things Bombardier seems to do well. Hopefully they won't make a mess of it.

  • Is it confirmed that The Doctor we'll be seeing in Academy is NOT the one from "Living Witness"?

    Jump

  • All interviews I've seen have said this is the mainstream Doctor.

    Which doesn't mean Picardo couldn't do double-duty for an episode or three...

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Exclusive Clip | Paramount+ (CCXP 2025)

    Jump

  • In all seriousness, from what I've seen Picardo say about the Doctor's state of mind, I wonder if he abandoned any name(s) he'd chosen as he watched his loved ones grow old and die.

  • I was expecting 50 minutes of them holding hands under a tree!

  • I watch the first Star Trek Discovery episode, I didn't like it.

    Jump

  • Xenophobic military propaganda?

    Okay, I'll bite on this.

    I'll grant that it's been a long time, but that seems like the opposite of the message of both that episode and the season as a whole...

  • WestJet and Air Transat passengers fight back after airlines falsely claim they can’t film disputes

    Jump

  • I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

  • Pipeline deal with Ottawa met with boos at Alberta UCP convention

    Jump

  • The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

    And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what's the difference, exactly?

  • Get a First Look at One of WWE’s Biggest Stars in Star Trek Spin-Off ‘Starfleet Academy’

    Jump

  • Wrestling's an interesting..."sport" isn't quite the right word, but I can't think of what else to call it right now. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but it was also pretty inescapable in the late 90s, so I've seen my fair share.

    It's absolutely a performance, but especially over the last couple of decades, the industry has shifted away from maintaining "kayfabe" and mostly just embraces the phoniness (though they still play it absolutely straight in the ring).

    At the end of the day, it's a very unique type of performance art that requires both athleticism and, for the most successful wrestlers, acting chops.

    And yeah, there are definitely toxic aspects to it and its fan base.
