Batel Watch 2025: maybe she survived the Gorn?

is this a cynical attempt to make political hay out of alluding to what has been said of Kinew’s past?

The PCs have done this for years, so it's an understandable instinct.

That said...I'm not convinced that there isn't a little fire beneath the smoke. The 2023 altercation was inconclusive. I just don't know.

It could be a case study for Portage & Main.

Toronto @ Montreal

Once again, I saw a bit of this one live, and caught the highlights for the rest. This Winnipegger is never going to be upset about watching the Argos lose.

Montreal looked very well put-together. I've got to agree with the officials on the Arbuckle "forward pass" - there didn't seem to be an eligible receiver anywhere near that ball. Toronto's O Line was a bit of a disaster.

That one Toronto TD was great, though - love the effort.

Ugh, I barely engage with the Endeavor System, so I'm not 100% sure.

I think New Who has definitely danced on the razor's edge, getting by with narrative shortcuts as long as the emotional resonance lands. And when a story doesn't land with you, those shortcuts are very visible.

I actually do like the small bits of exploration of the a Timeless Child that RTD has done using it to inform the Doctor's personality in new ways. It would be great to see a Jo Martin story or something like that, though.

Trying another "Flux"-type season could be interesting too - sort of a hybrid between the old serials and more modern episodes. Hell, the eight-episode seasons are practically begging for it.

All good - I love the Mastodon engagement, even though it's kind of awkward.

It's a pretty pedestrian-heavy area. It's probably justified.

The TARDIS materializes in 1990s San Francisco.

Billie Piper stumbles out, is shot almost immediately, regenerates into Paul McCann.

taxpayer per unit of road ratio

I'm a big fan of this metric. Easy to understand, hard to argue with.

Just a quick snooze!

Personally, I'm quite certain that the answer is some version of Option 2. There will be a break - maybe a long one - but the show ultimately isn't going anywhere.
