This is already being walked back:

“Of course we’re funding roads,” Guilbeault said. “We have programs to fund roads, but we have said — and maybe I should have been more specific in the past — is that we don’t have funds for large projects like the Troisième lien that the CAQ has been trying to do for for many years.”

The wiggle room within Star Trek is that the Tkon Empire was supposedly wiped out by a supernova despite being a highly advanced civilization, and in "Second Sight" the DS9 crew boosts the top speed of a ship to warp 9.5, which suggests that a supernova can have superliminal consequences.

But there's nothing to suggest the Tkon supernova was a natural phenomenon, and the hijinks they were up to in "Second Sight" certainly wasn't.

Stars go supernova occasionally

Not spontaneously, with only a handful of years' notice, they don't.

I'm all for Trek science being a little weird, but it seems very likely that there was some funny business going on for the star to suddenly blow up and threaten the entire galaxy.

That's from tie-in material, not the film itself.

Indeed, the article devotes three paragraphs to that explanation.

The idea had crossed my mind, and the timeline of the "ancient artifact" lines up well enough. I'd also like to see the Romulan supernova addressed...

However, I'd actually prefer it to be handled by "Lower Decks", which is set in that rough timeframe.

Star Trek isn't Star Trek, but on occasion you may find that it's Star Trek.

No details about the format yet, as near as I can tell.

Interesting, isn't it? I saw a number of people making that same observation during one of the migration waves.

It's an interesting idea, but I wonder if the "Twitter-like" design of Mastodon is more appealing to brands than the "Reddit-like" design of Lemmy.

Yeah, I did think that was odd.

Hmm yeah it looks like they deleted it for some reason. I'll try to keep an eye out for whether it gets reposted.

 

LoglineTop Secret, again.

Edit: well, this was certainly worth waiting for:

LoglineWho knows? They never released one.

Edit: They finally released one - how novel to release the actual episode first!

Captain Freeman assigns the Lower Deckers an overly safe mission to try and keep a self-destructive Mariner out of danger.
