I’m seeing credible-seeming rumours that Lego has acquired the license, but nothing official yet…

it seems to me that both things can be true: the popular economic indicators can be looking good and everyday people can be experiencing greater levels of financial hardship than they or their parents have ever known.

Absolutely - data-based decision making is good, but the data has to be robust enough to fully capture the reality.

Regularly including cost of living measures alongside GDP would be a good start.

Don’t blink - you might miss it.

Wait, I thought that was Doctor Who…

There’s no formal coalition agreement, and I don’t see Trudeau scrambling to offer cabinet posts to NDP MPs.

The less formal arrangement they had lasted a pretty long time, all things considered.

But Singh doesn’t owe him anything.

I’ll let Luther Sloan take this one.

We search out and identify potential dangers to the Federation…we deal with them.

They certainly believe they’re protecting the Federation.

Well, no.

I want a system that’s actually designed to support multiple parties. Westminster ain’t it.

I’m torn on this.

On the one hand, I agree that a PP government is a terrible thing.

On the other hand, it’s hardly the NDP’s job to prop up another political party.

WTF is he thinking?

For better or worse, he’s probably reached the point where he thinks they need to cut all remaining ties to the Liberals, and not be seen as propping them up, formally or otherwise.

Get ready for one of the ugliest campaigns in living memory.

Honestly, if there’s one character whose upbringing I’d like to see, it’s this one.

At least once more, as always.

And yet it endures. Unlike the Terran Empire, which fell centuries ago. Were you aware that the distance between our two universes started expanding sometime after your departure? There hasn’t been a single crossing in over 500 years. You didn’t know that, did you? You’re all alone now.

There’s definitely a lot of wiggle room in there.

I thought metaphasic shields were theoretical…

Hmm yes I did expect it would go without saying, but the extra reminder can’t hurt.

to shreds, you say

A mild counterpoint, because I totally get where you’re coming from:

Section 31 is probably the one setting that should be high stakes, all the time. Like them or not, this is kind of what they do.

This makes me think that the flashbacks to Georgiou’s childhood seen in the trailers might be directly related to the main plot, rather than something that’s just there to provide character insight.

I was thinking that it’s interesting that crossovers with the Mirror Universe stop completely at some point around the 27th Century. There’s a story there.
