I'm going to see if I can get one of the templates going, but I'm not 100% sure I understand how it works. Here goes.

I seem to recall a few people who were upset that they didn't know these existed the last time it was discussed.

I'm the first person to defend Health Canada having standards for scientifically-validated treatment, but there is clearly work to be done in actually making sure the science happens - ideally, cases like this where the treatment is being recommended by licensed doctors should be considered opportunities for research, even if it is only a case study.

They have gone out of their way to portray L'ak as a doofus (and writer Carlos Cisco even gave an interview where he suggested that Breen are dumber in their fleshy form), so you may be right.

I thought that one was...fine. A perfectly acceptable unit of Star Trek.

I probably would have found it more interesting if Moll and L'ak had been the main protagonists of the episode, spending more time with them on the Enterprise in addition to their flashbacks, with Book and Burnham as the antagonists of the story.

On the other hand, I enjoyed Rayner's B plot, so maybe not.

Edit: and pour one out for our man Rhys, famous Constitution class fan who doesn't get to go on the mission to deliver the Enterprise to Federation HQ.

If chronophages are outlawed, only outlaws will have chronophages.

I don't think there's been any serious doubt about that for some time - at least since the official description of the Academy being closed for a century.

The interesting thing about cars like this, in which something is literally erased from reality, is that it's completely victimless.

One cannot destroy that which never existed to begin with. From that perspective, I'd say Spock made the right call.

Multiple elections have established that people do care. As the article points out, every federal election since 2008 (whoops, except 2011) has been won by a party that either promised a carbon tax, or had already implemented one.

BOOM

You got Zaslav'd.

It's a bit misleading to say it was "removed," considering it's a completely different banner.

Honestly, super cool!
