Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • I would find some sort of magical "mental health technology" not only unrealistic, but rather insulting.

  • I didn't expect this one to be quite as divisive as it seems to be!

    But yeah, I can see why it would clang if you're not feeling the characters involved. I'm sort of in the same space with Darem right now.

    Tarima is messy, but it's a very familiar kind of messy to me. Zoe Steiner is definitely taking a unique approach to the character, but it's mostly working for me. I thought her scene with Caleb in the botanical lab was quite well done, and not an easy task.

  • Just…calm down and see a real mental health professional.

    I think it's clear that, much like Nog in "It's Only A Paper Moon", the cadets (particularly Tarima) have not been receptive to conventional therapy, which is extremely predictive of whether said therapy will be effective.

  • Images for the covers of this year's Star Trek Celebrations have been released.

  • It hasn't come up much, but from "Spock Amok" back in season 1:

    CHAPEL: No need. This is what I appreciate about Dever. He and I are on the same page. The casual, no attachments, this-is-just-for-fun, zero commitments page.

    ORTEGAS: That's more like a book than a page. And you said the same thing about that gal on Argelius II.

    CHAPEL: That was a misunderstanding. It was one time.

  • I only know the play from what the episode told me about it

    I was unfamiliar with it too, but I feel like I got what I needed to from the description.

    I unfortunately found Tarima's messy response to her trauma very...familiar, on multiple levels.

  • I wonder how Sam’s personality is going to change in next week’s episode.

    I was thinking the same thing. In theory, she shouldn't have any memories of her time at the Academy to date...maybe the Doc was able to describe it to her in excruciating detail.

  • 30.5 Million Canadians watched the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, with Record-Breaking Digital Audiences

    Jump

  • Even though I mostly watched the main CBC feed, I really enjoy the Olympics being handled by the broadcast consortium.

    There was a small moment at the end of the hockey tournament where Elliotte Friedman turned to his fellow panelists and thanked them, acknowledging that they may never actually work together again, since they were a hodgepodge of Sportsnet people and TSN people, amongst others. Kind of a unique* thing.

    *okay, probably not unique, but somewhat unusual.
