The longtime Conservative, who served in provincial politics before being elected to the House of Commons in 2019, said Canada's challenges demand people lead "not with complaint" — a thinly veiled swipe at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre — "but with confidence in a strong future."

As much as "Me Too" was supposed to be about ridding the industry of sexual harassment (and worse), it also had knock-on effects in terms of storytelling, cast composition, etc.

I don't think it's controversial to say that "Enterprise" was not terribly progressive by modern standards (or, in my opinion, the standards of the time) when it came to female representation in particular.

He's not Mr. Right...but he is Mr. Right Now.

I guess they think "respectful and firm" is their best shot at taking a stand without alienating their base.

I don't think it's going to play.

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!

Meaney had always struck me as the ultimate working actor, fairly ambivalent about Star Trek beyond it being a job (which is fine).

It's hard to imagine him turning down an offer, were it too come in.

When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.

The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.

The investigation also revealed the same vehicle was involved in an erratic driving incident on Pembina Highway a day prior.

Yeah, sounds like a real upstanding citizen.

The political situation in the region is incredibly complicated - if Bajor is interested in prosecuting, they risk a renewed conflict with Cardassia, which neither they nor the Federation particularly want. On top of that, many Bajorans are skeptical of the Federation and its intentions, at least in the early days.

Plus...did Dukat ever "visit" DS9 (as in, physically board the station) without explicit authorization from the command staff?

Star Trek isn't Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it's Star Trek.

This is not to say that the ’90s shows never delved into the complexity and nuance of this ethos—indeed, playing at the edges of their internal morality was how they derived much of their interest...Things are different in modern Trek.

If you have to include a variation of "sure, it was always like this, but it's different now," it's time to go back to the drawing board with your thinkpiece.

It's beginning to feel like Charlie Brown and the football at this point, but let's see if they can actually get this one off the ground.
