Yeah, last week's outing against them ended...badly.

Lots of talk lately about the possibility of Winnipeg having a path to the playoffs by crossing over to the East. That would certainly be interesting.

Yeah...Streveler managed to grind out a win, despite only attempting eight passes in the entire game (and completing three of them). The good news there is that Streveler seemed pretty focused on protecting the ball, and didn't try to force passing plays. A win is a win, but the Bombers need Collaros back ASAP if they're going to salvage the season.

Nic Demski's 84-game catching streak is now over, as well.

Sure, I think the key is balance in all things. I absolutely loathed the third season of "Picard", but I'm not going to jump into every conversation about it I see just for the sake of saying so.

But if it makes sense, and is relevant...I might, if I feel like it. There's room to talk about what you disliked about something, and why. It just shouldn't be your entire personality, y'know?

I think it's completely possible to enjoy a flawed creation.

And in this case, I think La'An's story this season was fairly strong, even though it was heavily (if not entirely) tied to her relationship with Spock.

Ortegas got an entire episode devoted to her, but the criticism about her experience with the Gorn being largely overlooked prior to that is completely fair.

Uhura certainly had less to do, and I think Una was pretty short-changed this season.

Dr. Peter Nickerson, dean and vice-provost of health sciences at the University of Manitoba's Max Rady College of Medicine, said the report wouldn't account for a new cohort that graduated in July, and numbers vary in any given year depending on factors like length of residency.

The number of graduates who decide to do their residency training in Manitoba is higher than other medical schools, and 75 per cent of family medicine residents stay in the province, Nickerson said in an email.

Always room for improvement, but a 75% retention rate for family doctors seems pretty good.

She sort of sidestepped the question in the interview...my answer would be "no, but who cares if the story's any good?"

Interestingly, I see someone at Memory Alpha has been incorporating stuff from the first two episodes into related pages...we'll see if that sticks.

I don't think it's the most grindy thing in the world. The F2P model is mostly pretty fair, though absurdly-priced bundles have become normalized over the last few years.

But it's not overly difficult to play, even if you choose not spend a dime. And the story is fun.

See, I meant what I said last week about being bad at listening to podcasts!

That's an interesting question. Kirk seemed pretty determined to let Khan and his people have a real chance on Ceti Alpha V, so it makes sense that he'd allow them some tools, and even weapons.

But this episode also makes a bit of a big deal out of Khan's reaction to Starfleet technology that's much more advanced that what he's used to. Some kind of throwback/antique weapon would make sense.

I thought this was a decent one. They continue to walk the line of adding depth to Khan without necessarily casting him in a positive light.

I'm a little surprised they dropped the Sulu/Tuvok framing device, but I didn't really miss it.

RIP Joaquin, I guess the guy in TWOK is your kid.

You're not alone - we're looking into it!

I don't think that this is something that should be done without the explicit, case-by-case consent of the mod teams of both communities - the one hosting the original post, and the one to which it is being cross-posted.
