I wouldn’t say pale in comparison. Enterprise was really good in my opinion. Lower Decks and Prodigy too, these are a bit different, but have the same spirit I think.

I also rewatch The Original Series episodes every once in a while. The show as a whole is not really good by modern standards, but it has gems and it’s interesting to see where it all began.

Every show except Discovery has a balance of great episodes, filler episodes, and bad episodes. Discovery was bad from A to Z.

Yeah, probably. But just another “what if” scenario…

Yeah sure, that’s why the list is sorted from most egregious to least.

A two party system is a band-aid solution to the gashing wound that is first-past-the-post.

Probably true about Liberal victory, but if all spoiler candidates dropped out this election cycle, Libs would have had 41 seats to the NDP’s 31, and the Greens would have had 3.

So Libs will have had to be in a coalition to govern, and their coalition partners could have pushed proportional representation.

Both Marit Stiles and Bonnie Crombie put defeating Ford at the top of their agenda. If they were serious about it they wouldn’t have filed candidates in ridings where vote splitting was a concern. They would have divvied them up and formed a coalition, but I guess defeating Ford was not that important after all. Not having done that is wishful thinking at best given the polls, and more realistically, idiocy.

They are not the same party, but both their leaders + Mike Schreiner put defeating Ford at the top of their agenda. If they were serious about it they wouldn’t have filed spoiler candidates!!

Yeah, party leadership is way more at fault that individual candidates but as the Eglinton-Lawrence case showed, they do have the power to at least minimize vote splitting. I’m very disappointed that the Greens put up 124 candidates when they only had good chance to win 3 seats. Why not focus your effort on these instead of spoiling or helping to spoil 11 ridings!?

I think these two separate objectives are good, but at the end of the day subscriber count is just a number. The real objective is having an actual representative democracy in Canada at all levels of government.

Even with 261 subs, posts from this comm can reach “all” (that’s how I found this place). That’s the way to reach people who aren’t too engaged with this topic. We just need to have a critical mass of people upvoting.

Good luck voting fellow Ontarians!!! May the 45th Parliament be proportionally representative!

Do you normally hear Hungarian language just walking about in Cluj?

With that kind of money Doug Ford can build almost 4% of the tunnel under the 401.

That’s very unfortunate but hopefully you developed skills that will help you in your future career.

Sure, it’s SNW S02E09 (“Subspace Rhapsody”). I watched the teaser and decided to skip that one. I read the synopsis before watching the season finale.

I think Prodigy really improved in the second half of the first season and more so in the second season. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult watching by myself, no shame in that 😁

I watch 929 episodes (out of 930 to date), the 10 shorts, and the 14 movies. Out of devotion. Section 31 was indeed awful, what can I say. But it’s only 90 minutes and you lose nothing if you multitask while watching.

IMO Lower Decks and Prodigy, the two animated shows, were the best by far of New Trek. Strange New Worlds is quite OK (and I have a soft spot for it since the Toronto episode). I hope it continues on the right path.

Yep, I think that’s how it’s commonly understood.

It was absolutely the best of New Trek!

I watched.

Not overly informative.

And Ontario (like Canada) is not really democratic because of first-past-the-post, so I will vote strategically.

Ah, yes, Isildur’s famous line: “No. Made with mematic”

Those texts may not be in compliance with CRIC standards, but do we know for sure it’s a scam? I got this message and respnded, the followup was:

Thank you … could we please get your postal code for statistical purposes so we know approximately where you live?

To which I responded with a nearby postal code (not my actual one). Then the response was “Thank you for completing the survey”.

So the document had been classified as written in Nabataean, but it’s unclear if that turned out not to be the case in the end?
