    The great thing about DW is that you can redo an origin as often as you want, and it's all equally canon!

  • The Aetherians: What's the deal?

    Yeah, it's just sort of...meandering.

    I think I have a bit of Borg fatigue, and also multiverse fatigue, which does not help.

  • I'm just wondering if there are any theories as to what's going on with the Aetherians. It seems pretty obvious that there's a shoe yet to drop, but what is it? My personal theory is that they themselves are a multiversal Borg variant, at war with all the others.

    After 1 year as Manitoba premier, Wab Kinew remains popular despite limited progress on biggest issues
  • ValueSubtracted ValueSubtracted Now 100%

    That's true, and the article rightly notes that Kinew has always been up-front about this being a long process.

    But we're also 1/4 of the way through his term, it's completely valid to evaluate whether progress has been made, and "the Conservatives left us a big mess" is only going to work for so long as a talking point.

    My initial reaction was about how stupid it is to open a theme park attraction themed around a series that's been cancelled, but then I thought about how this thing must've been in the works for several years, and now I just feel sad for the people who worked on it.

    hoping his character’s death – in the full context – would make more narrative sense.

    Chabon had some lovely and interesting things to say about self-sacrifice being the ultimate expression of the individuality Hugh spent his life working toward, but unfortunately I didn't think any of that came through in the final product.

    >Washik, 58, told The Canadian Press earlier this month that she was having a playful water gun fight with a child during a neighbourhood gathering when she accidentally sprayed Rochester in the chest. >Washik said that, despite her apologies, he called police. After Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrived, Washik said the officers didn't ask her "a single question" and charged her with assault with a weapon. But Rochester's security footage appears to show a different version of events. >Around 6 p.m. ET, Rochester is setting up his lawnmower on his front lawn when Washik walks over, the footage appears to show. No other people can be seen. >She stands at the end of his lawn and is heard saying, "Hey, how's it going?" >Rochester doesn't appear to respond and begins mowing his lawn while Washik watches him for several minutes, occasionally waving. >"It was very strange and creepy," he told CBC. >Then, a boy crosses from the other side of the street and Washik appears to ask him for a water gun, making a flicking motion with her hands in the direction of Rochester. >The footage doesn't capture the side of the house, where Rochester alleges he was intentionally sprayed.

    Interview: Jonathan Del Arco Talks “Borg Spin-Off” That Became ‘Star Trek: Picard’ And Hugh’s Surprise Death
  • ValueSubtracted ValueSubtracted Now 100%

    Heh, I don't think I agree with either of these takes.

    It seems to me like season 1 was very much Michael Chabon's vision - indeed, they've said in interviews that it didn't bear much resemblance to the original pitch that sold Stewart on the series.

    I've always felt that Chabon had a lot of great ideas (and to be frank, I still think that first season is the best "Picard" season), but was perhaps too inexperienced to get those ideas implemented in a timely and affordable fashion.

    Del Arco not being informed of Hugh's death is a bit of a non-issue, I think - the guy was a guest star, so it wouldn't be right to expect them to treat him like a principal cast member.

  • Is the Mirror Universe Timeline seen in PRO: *Cracked Mirror* the prime mirror universe?
  • ValueSubtracted ValueSubtracted Now 100%

    I think we have to assume it is - there's kind of an unspoken contract with the writers that any universe containing the trappings of the Mirror Universe must be the Mirror Universe.

    And there's certainly precedent for the shows and movies nicking elements from novels and comics. It doesn't have to mean that the works have been "canonized," but it's nice to see them using bits from those stories when it suits them.

    I'm no DPS chaser, and the character I used is weirdly weak against Borg for reasons I've never bothered trying to uncover, but I think you could probably complete it more quickly than "Wanted." I'm sure the XP rewards are far smaller, though.

    That's probably a good comparison. I don't know whether the final battle is time-gated like those Klingon patrols are, but if they are, it's a much shorter time limit.

    Patrol: "Unwanted Guests"

    This one is less interesting than "Out of Control" - close a couple portals, fight a few Borgs. Not much to say, really.

    Moving forward, I'll probably stick with the TFO - it's not too complicated, and lets us knock out both daily points at once.

    It felt similar to the TFO with the multiple shipyards and genocidal Klingon lady.

    I've only run it once, but agreed. I did find the geography of the map a little confusing, but I'm sure I'll learn the lay of the land after some more runs through it.
