Much has (justifiably) been said about the merger, and the path to how we got here, but everyone seems to agree that David Ellison is in the business because he loves movies - the whole company was practically a vanity project, rather than a moneymaking scheme.

Yeah, I think the new Paramount TV Studios is basically the Skydance studio, renamed - the Old Paramount shut down their version of Paramount Television Studios about a year ago.

This is barely Star Trek-related news, but we now have confirmation that the franchise will remain under CBS Studios (which is pretty much the only division that hasn't had a change in management under the new regime).

With that bit of business out of the way, the next step will be for them to make a decision on the renewal of the Secret Hideout deal, which is set to expire next year.

My only gripe there is his on earth does the child remote control the typewriter

That's right up there with, "how/why is he looking for his mummy if he was already dead when the nanogenes found him?"

The Redblacks should be easy pickings for the Bombers, so Winnipeg will probably lose.

It looks like Hamilton/Saskatchewan and Montreal/BC will be the marquee matchups this week.

and will the Bombers keep the trend going?

Nnnnnnope.

Once again, I had other obligations preventing me from watching the game, but what a heartbreaker.

The highlight reel that I watched made it look like an okay game, but the 3 Down Nation summary suggested that the Bombers fell a sleep for most of the second half.

I don't know if we're hitting the panic button just yet, but our fingers are hovering.

Memory Alpha has a breakdown that must be pretty comprehensive.

I've used it a bit. It's fine, though these things that act through browser extensions are understandably met with skepticism. The e-transfers seem pretty useful to those who use the service.

I'm all for the Alto project being a runaway success and spurring nationwide high-speed rail development, make no mistake.

I like Stashwick well enough, but I didn't think Shaw was handled well at all. He abandoned his post for a significant chunk of the season, sacrifices himself, and then in the end we find out he secretly respected Seven all alone, and just didn't tell her, because he's kind of an asshole?

And while his origin story is interesting, it's also a warmed-over Ben Sisko plot point.

If they were to ever proceed with some sort of *Enterprise-*G series, I'd rather they do it without Matalas. I've had enough of his vision for the franchise.

Yeah, the article doesn't make it sound like an appealing experience.

One of these latest routes is a trip between the Calgary International Airport and Banff. While Boysan said the company targets customers from all walks of life, most passengers on this trip were backpackers in their early twenties who'd chosen the bus for one reason only.

"We're kind of like broke college students, so we just got the cheapest thing we could," Leo Fritsch, 18, said, adding his tickets cost about $25.

That would make sense - I was thinking there were probably some viable BC options, but I honestly never hear people talking about them.
