Yeah, I think that one's in the can.

I think the Terran arc of 2021-2023 was high-quality, even though I didn't find it as engaging as the Klingon Civil War had been. We've already talked about the latest arc being relatively underwhelming, but at the same time, I think the episodes have been well-made, and I assume they were done under the watchful eyes of the Cryptic Old Guard.

Next year will truly tell the tale of what DECA is going to do.

The one thing that gives me any hope at all is that Star Trek is pretty popular in Germany...but with everything else that's going on, it's still a pretty faint hope.

Honestly, I think the headline was just written under the assumption that all readers know the MB government has already rolled out that coverage.

If I were to make predictions (foolish!), I would say...

• The game will probably soldier on for a significant period of time.

• It will probably be in a "zombie" state, not unlike that of Champions Online (as I understand it, I don't really play that game).

• We're closer to STO's end than its beginning.

It's certainly encouraging that he's at least expecting to do a third series. I've always assumed that the BBC would carry on even if the Disney deal ends.

It's interesting how quickly multiverse stuff became a tired trope in current genre TV/film.

Lower Decks being what it is, I suspect it will be a one-off gag.

The wording is vague, but I think there's a chance it will be the complete set, or as close to it as possible.

They built the whole thing for the show, so hopefully they had the good sense to keep it all.

The great thing about DW is that you can redo an origin as often as you want, and it's all equally canon!

I think I'll go with Narnia. It wouldn't be boring.

Yeah, it's just sort of...meandering.

I think I have a bit of Borg fatigue, and also multiverse fatigue, which does not help.

That's true, and the article rightly notes that Kinew has always been up-front about this being a long process.

But we're also 1/4 of the way through his term, it's completely valid to evaluate whether progress has been made, and "the Conservatives left us a big mess" is only going to work for so long as a talking point.

Obviously a priority issue.
