From what I understand, the showrunner was secretly fired in 2017, but they just can’t stop him from showing up to work!

Kate Mulgrew has a very unique confidence about her in the role, it’s a lot of fun.

I dunno, for all the noise around the show, the response from people who are actually watching the thing seems pretty darned positive. Time will tell.

It was always going to be a coin flip, at best. They’re both great teams.

The Brits seemed to be in full control going into the ninth, and it was theirs to lose.

And they did, with some critical errors that completely changed the momentum of the game.

Tough Olympics for her, but it’s good to see her get a medal.

There was a beautiful expression that Alex [Kurtzman] gave me. Being in his Khionians form is like exhaling. So to be in his skin is to breathe. And this wedding does not feel like a place where Darem can breathe. I think this is a pinnacle point of something that Darem had actually been running away from his whole life. He says at the start of the episode, “I thought I had more time.” I thought I could go and explore an adventure for a few years and then come back to my responsibilities. For me, how I made sense of it was Darem can’t breathe here. This is not a free place for Darem to be.

That’s…a very thoughtful way to address what looked to be like a budget-saving measure.

I didn’t claim otherwise.

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.

Yeah, I exaggerate, but I think the message was definitely that it’s okay to embrace your inner cockiness, which I think is an untraditional (but interesting!) message.

But despite a lot of talk about seaweed and “we’ve all got gills”, everybody looks peculiarly human.

I assume because this moon has (conveniently) become a desert over the years.

The responses are all live in the thread! Or you can check out the u/karim account to see them all in chronological order (but without the questions, which is…challenging).

I watched the first few as a curiosity, but checked out after that.

Does anyone have kids in the target demographic that have seen it?

…dammit, that’s a good thought.

I don’t think you need an account for CBC Gem, so you might be able to access those with a VPN.

All of the Canadian Olympic coverage uses the same broadcaster/commentator teams, regardless of the network carrying that particular event.

I don’t have a real issue with floor-crossing, since it’s true to the principle that you’re supposed to vote for the principle, not the party.

But it’s pretty tough to deny that that’s simply not the way most people vote.

Well, that was certainly a low-stakes palate cleanser after last week’s more intense episode. Probably a little too low-stakes for my liking.

They seemed intent on inverting common tropes in this one:

The “arranged marriage” storyline didn’t play out in a way that we’ve really seen before.

Similarly, Darem’s overall arc of “I need to stop being such a people-pleaser so I can be my more authentic, dickish self” is…a twist.

Caleb and Genesis put any “will they/won’t they” plotlines to rest (though I suppose they could revisit it).

And Genesis’ deep, dark secret turned out to be…not that deep. As much as I appreciate the inversion and that she didn’t turn out to be a Species 10-C spy or something, I feel like we still don’t know enough about Genesis. We’re going to have to meet her dad to really get to the bottom of her character, I think.

“Slide fast” - suddenly I understand the sport!
