Even though I mostly watched the main CBC feed, I really enjoy the Olympics being handled by the broadcast consortium.

There was a small moment at the end of the hockey tournament where Elliotte Friedman turned to his fellow panelists and thanked them, acknowledging that they may never actually work together again, since they were a hodgepodge of Sportsnet people and TSN people, amongst others. Kind of a unique* thing.

*okay, probably not unique, but somewhat unusual.

You have my attention…

I don’t think anything he’s talking about in the video is particularly unique to the way TV production was 30 years ago.

From what I understand, the showrunner was secretly fired in 2017, but they just can’t stop him from showing up to work!

I dunno, for all the noise around the show, the response from people who are actually watching the thing seems pretty darned positive. Time will tell.

It was always going to be a coin flip, at best. They’re both great teams.

The Brits seemed to be in full control going into the ninth, and it was theirs to lose.

And they did, with some critical errors that completely changed the momentum of the game.

Tough Olympics for her, but it’s good to see her get a medal.

There was a beautiful expression that Alex [Kurtzman] gave me. Being in his Khionians form is like exhaling. So to be in his skin is to breathe. And this wedding does not feel like a place where Darem can breathe. I think this is a pinnacle point of something that Darem had actually been running away from his whole life. He says at the start of the episode, “I thought I had more time.” I thought I could go and explore an adventure for a few years and then come back to my responsibilities. For me, how I made sense of it was Darem can’t breathe here. This is not a free place for Darem to be.

That’s…a very thoughtful way to address what looked to be like a budget-saving measure.

I didn’t claim otherwise.

To be clear, this was a single location, not the entire company.

This is a great idea! I’m still pondering picking up the Humble Bundle of audios, but sadly this doesn’t seem to be one of them.

it became clear that the “truth” of the Fugitive was as up in the air for him as much as us

You know, as aggravating as it was that Chibnall seemed pretty uninterested in his own setups, it’s nice that someone is playing with the toys he put on the shelf.

Our screwy Mastodon federation strikes again…

No word of a lie, “Has Been” is an incredible album.

A possible taste of things to come.

Yeah, I exaggerate, but I think the message was definitely that it’s okay to embrace your inner cockiness, which I think is an untraditional (but interesting!) message.

But despite a lot of talk about seaweed and “we’ve all got gills”, everybody looks peculiarly human.

I assume because this moon has (conveniently) become a desert over the years.
