Agreed - it’s pretty unlikely that you’d be able to prove something like that.

I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it’d be a tough sell.

Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we’re talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

Strictly speaking, there’s no formal rule - you won’t find a CBS/Paramount definition of “canon” anywhere that I’m aware of.

In practice, they stick with the tv shows and films.

But they’ve also worked very hard over the last few years to keep the tie-in novels and things like that “canon-ish,” in that they flesh out backstories from the shows, and the shows mostly don’t step on their efforts.

It sounds like the podcast is getting that treatment - as far as they’re concerned, this is what happened, and they have no plans to contradict it (and, considering the nature of the story, it’s not likely to come up one way or another).

Not a big shock - there have been allegations surrounding the guy for years.

It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.

I think that’s pretty universal, and it’s been the case for decades.

It’s the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that’s under provincial jurisdiction…

Honestly, I’d take this with a small grain of salt.

I don’t doubt Variety’s reporting, but this amounts to a bullet point in a larger article, and while I’m sure they’ve “moved on” from whatever they had cooking, I think it’s also possible that they could develop another project with that crew, if they have a script that they like well enough.

We’ll see what happens - it’s been years of them being unable to get a project going, and I don’t expect that to change any time soon.

I don’t think it’s that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.

The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don’t think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.

You know, yet.

I wonder is Lear ever tried to meet up with her Noonien Singh relatives?

With Tuvok’s comment about using his position to advocate for augments, I wonder if they’re considering a Tim Russ/Christina Chong spinoff.

I think I agree with your overall sentiment - not the greatest thing I’ve ever heard, but I’m glad they made it.

The highlights for me were the semi-rehabilitation of McGivers, and the fleshing out of Khan’s cult followers. And I’m glad they didn’t go down the “Khan wasn’t so bad” road, instead going with, “Khan was a pretty bad guy who maybe could have turned it around under different circumstances,” which…is a pretty Star Trek message, even if it’s not one I was very interested in exploring.

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don’t really follow baseball at all, and haven’t watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

“As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice.”

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that’s actively under consideration."

I’m not in Alberta, but pay doesn’t seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we’ve reached the breaking point.

Noted?

Thank you - this is what I’m here for.

I linked to the article!

I took it from a news article from last week, which suggests pretty strongly that that proposal is exactly what was implemented, and they never produced an updated graphic.

But again, I’d welcome a genuine correction.
