It's worth noting that Gatwa's statement appears to contrast somewhat with those made recently by showrunner Russell T Davies.

He wrote in the most recent issue of Doctor Who Magazine: "The decision to commission Season 3 won’t be made until after Season 2 has transmitted. And that’s always been the deal since the start. Hey, we might even have a day off!

I think I'll go with Narnia. It wouldn't be boring.

Yeah, it's just sort of...meandering.

I think I have a bit of Borg fatigue, and also multiverse fatigue, which does not help.

That's true, and the article rightly notes that Kinew has always been up-front about this being a long process.

But we're also 1/4 of the way through his term, it's completely valid to evaluate whether progress has been made, and "the Conservatives left us a big mess" is only going to work for so long as a talking point.

Obviously a priority issue.

A completely unforced error.

This is a Florida joke waiting to happen.

My initial reaction was about how stupid it is to open a theme park attraction themed around a series that's been cancelled, but then I thought about how this thing must've been in the works for several years, and now I just feel sad for the people who worked on it.

hoping his character’s death – in the full context – would make more narrative sense.

Chabon had some lovely and interesting things to say about self-sacrifice being the ultimate expression of the individuality Hugh spent his life working toward, but unfortunately I didn't think any of that came through in the final product.

I'm glad the CBC is revisiting the story now that they have the other side.

Heh, I don't think I agree with either of these takes.

It seems to me like season 1 was very much Michael Chabon's vision - indeed, they've said in interviews that it didn't bear much resemblance to the original pitch that sold Stewart on the series.

I've always felt that Chabon had a lot of great ideas (and to be frank, I still think that first season is the best "Picard" season), but was perhaps too inexperienced to get those ideas implemented in a timely and affordable fashion.

Del Arco not being informed of Hugh's death is a bit of a non-issue, I think - the guy was a guest star, so it wouldn't be right to expect them to treat him like a principal cast member.

Flag restrictions are typically a way to ban Pride flags without actually saying it out loud.
