EHLERRRRRRRRS

Archie Panjabi has oozed attitude in what little we’ve seen of her in the part so far

We haven’t talked about this enough. She’s positively magnetic.

The Rani is famously a scientist, and now she’s a scientist walking into a world where a Pantheon of Gods has been awoken, which is magic in the air. She simply finds it fascinating. To her, it’s a different form of science, she’s not there to reject it. She’s a true scientist with a very open mind. True scientists have open imaginations. Saying, “yes we can go to the moon,” “yes we can travel in time,” “yes, there’s anti-gravity.”

The problem with her experiments and her ideas is that she doesn’t care how many lives she loses along the way. We’ll see her running experiments on a massive scale. The very first scene of the two-part finale will really take people by surprise as to what she’s up to. And from then on, it never stops. It’s a huge extravaganza.

I was glad to read this.

Honestly, I hope not. Even though the stuff with Ruby’s mother didn’t land super well, I liked the ideas behind it.

I feel like this is probably RTD pulling a George Lucas and making sure that like poetry, it rhymes.

Well it’s a good thing it’s the greatest piece of television ever produced, then!

I’ve never heard of these - wot in tarnation…?

A decent chunk of his argument is simply to push back against this…loudly.

Finally, it is time to start calling out a lot of provincial grievance for the rank bullshit it often is.

Can’t wait for your thought on “Dimensions in time” 🫤

I wasn’t going to, but…challenge accepted.

Yeah, the Ottawa lumberjack look was always my favourite, especially with the never-produced helmet. A real shame.

Why?

LOL, fair question. I guess I think it it adds legitimacy to the league as a truly national concern.

I wish Atlantic Canada had a version of the New England Patriots

Yep - I think there needs to be a team in Halifax or wherever, for exactly the same reason.

Yeah…it’s a shame. As much as us Westerners get sick of Toronto being the centre of the universe, I think it’s essential that the most populous city in the country has a successful CFL team.

The obvious modern comparison for “zany alternate reality” is “The Wedding of River Song”.

I’m a little ambivalent so far - the idea can hit or miss depending on whether they can get me invested in what’s going on. The cast certainly has the chops for it, and RTD is capable of it, though his track record with sticking the landing need not be discussed here.

Have I got good news for you…

the Argos are so neglected in the city

I’ve heard so much about this over the years - since a lot of it has been attributed to the Buffalo Bills being very accessible, I wonder if there will be a spike in interest in the homegrown game given certain global events this year.

Reminder: of the preseason games, only Toronto/Hamilton on May 24 and Montreal/Ottawa on May 30 are airing on TSN, and Ottawa/Montreal on May 24 will be on RDS - the rest of them will be on CFL+ (yay, another streaming service…but at least it’s free).

I’ll probably just catch the highlights in the preseason, but I hope the league’s attendance is healthy this year.

I’ll stop in on as many Bomber-related threads as I can. Who doesn’t love a little heartbreak?

I think a couple of the examples used here are a stretch, but this was a really entertaining watch overall - I love a good think piece.

I’d like to see more information on what has or has not been done. Improving road access would be a long-term project.

But there’s no excuse for not starting.

For my money, it doesn’t get any more epic than the Abzorbaloff.

Chaos and cloister bells? Just another Saturday…

I bet it’s the Ran–

Dammit.
