The article says it was the result of a retroactive salary adjustment coupled with severance pay - unfortunate, but I'm not sure it's an egregious example of mismanagement (besides him apparently being a bad hire - I wish we knew more about why he was let go).

There's a lot of argument to be had over the relative value of CEOs across the board, but Shared Health presumably has to offer a salary that's competitive with the private sector.

I felt the synergy between this show and Picard went a little stronger than needed. Especially considering the first season was a little weaker than the others. It also felt a little late.

I really liked it, but then I think Picard's first season was the best one, and have been hoping we'd get another glimpse of just how game-changing the Romulan evacuation and subsequent events were. I never thought it'd be this show, though...

Emony Dax got handsy with Bones in the 2240s, and Audrid died in 2284.

In SNW's 2259ish setting, it should be one of those two.

People don't share podcasts here very often (except for the one that has its own community here). Feel free to share podcast episodes any time!

Hopefully he knows something we don’t, though it’s probably just off the cuff optimism /wishful thinking.

Unfortunately, I think it's probably the latter - previous interviews have been...I would say fairly pessimistic about future seasons happening on Netflix. But maybe something has changed now that S2 has been out for a while?

Dan Hageman: Season 3 is called “The Kim Collective,” so we’ll see. [laughs]

Eh, it's been done.

which makes me question what the difference between a shuttle bay and a hanger is.

Almost makes you nostalgic for Voyager's "Shuttlebay 2."

My assumption was error in the "Star Trek: First Contact" tradition.

DANIELS: It's pretty bad, sir. It looks like they control decks 26 up to 11.


PICARD: There are 24 decks. Almost 700 metres long.

Star Trek is a country, right?

I thought that's what she was getting at at the time, though IIRC she didn't actually finish her sentence.

That would be my guess, as well - Buenamigo had the class recalled in anticipation of them being mothballed.

 

With Prodigy season 2 poised to drop 20 episodes on us on Monday, we're trying to decide how to manage the discussions. Each option has its pros and cons, so why not put it to the group? The way I see it, we have three options:

  1. One discussion thread per episode, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  2. Four discussion threads, breaking the season into 5-episode blocks, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  3. One megathread to discuss the season, with no episodic threads.

  4. Individual episode threads, dropped at a rate of two per day.


Edit: Based on the response, we'll go with Option 1. I might space out the actual posts somewhat, though, to avoid spamming the "All" feed too much.

 

The so-called "intelligence to evidence" dilemma involves striking a balance between the need to shield sensitive intelligence and law enforcement's use of that information, along with the need to protect an accused's right to a fair trial.

Duheme added the RCMP has an "excellent relationship" with CSIS but the problems involved in using intelligence as evidence have plagued the two agencies for years.
