CFB Comox is located on Vancouver Island.

And with that, the Stamps have cemented themselves as a legitimate contender.

I'm sure the word on the street will be not to count the Bombers out just yet - and we shouldn't - but there's cause for concern. They need to improve in every single aspect of their play if they want to stay in the mix as the season continues. And now Collaros is out of commission, with a loooooong way to go until the next bye week.

Possibly, but looking at the episode titles, episode 9 "Terrarium" seems like it could be a good candidate for a Gorn return.

It really didn't seem like it, but:

You will see more of the Gorn. The Gorn are not gone, but the Gorn are not the primary adversary for season 3.

That was a very boring game, with the wildest final three minutes I've seen in a very long time.

The entire series is set in a snow globe on Sam Kirk's mantle, in the home where he lives to be 147.

How kind of them to not release it in any other format...

Camera spin continues to be a big part of the visual language.

I was genuinely surprised that Olatunde Osunsanmi didn't direct.

Hegemony, Part II

I appreciated the continued exploration of the Gorn as a truly alien alien species. All the stuff with their different sensory modes, and solar-associated life cycles, is a lot of fun to me.

It also seems like they've written the Gorn off as a going concern, which I think is fine. This is a good place to leave it until "Arena" - they even added some dialogue about the various Gorn stories being somewhat vague, so there's some wiggle room for them to seem a little different when they're encountered again in the future.

They managed to film the AR wall in a way that didn't just seem like a round room, which I appreciate.


Wedding Bell Blues

Give this show all the makeup and costuming awards immediately.

It was a fun romp, and I always like it when two opposing characters have to team up against the universe. I could have done with more dancing at the end - it seems like the actors put in a lot of work for a fairly brief scene.

I've never been a big fan of drawing a connection between Trelane and the Q, so I'm glad neither was mentioned by name (Edit: I think...?).

Please give me a Sam Kirk spinoff that runs for 50 years.

Very cool - I honestly had never considered the logistics of these sorts of operations, but seeing the host of these videos work out the fuel stops along the way just to make it out to the ships they're evacuating people from has been incredible.

 

I fell down this wormhole while I was home sick a few months ago. Pretty incredible to see footage of these search-and-rescue operations.

In at least one case, I pressed the create button, and it appeared to not work, so I pressed it again.

I have had this happen - I hope the Lemmy UI eventually gets a better "working" signal.

I've learned to eventually just trust that it's working, and that the post will go through in a few agonizing seconds.

Talk about a big ask...
