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 just noticed that the headline has been amended to add the word "potential," which seems pretty dang important!

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.

 

As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future — including an aspiring captain who’s secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he’s ready.

They're still three seats shy, thanks to the resignations of Blair and Freeland, and the Supreme Court overturning Tatiana Auguste's election.

We've done it. We've achieved the Lazy Cliche Singularity.

We wanted to make sure there was lots of time to accumulate questions, but the Fediverse is unsurprisingly rising to the occasion.

What was the audition process like? Did you have any clue what you were auditioning for, or was it buried under 47 layers of secrecy?
