>Washik, 58, told The Canadian Press earlier this month that she was having a playful water gun fight with a child during a neighbourhood gathering when she accidentally sprayed Rochester in the chest.
>Washik said that, despite her apologies, he called police. After Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrived, Washik said the officers didn't ask her "a single question" and charged her with assault with a weapon. But Rochester's security footage appears to show a different version of events.
>Around 6 p.m. ET, Rochester is setting up his lawnmower on his front lawn when Washik walks over, the footage appears to show. No other people can be seen.
>She stands at the end of his lawn and is heard saying, "Hey, how's it going?"
>Rochester doesn't appear to respond and begins mowing his lawn while Washik watches him for several minutes, occasionally waving.
>"It was very strange and creepy," he told CBC.
>Then, a boy crosses from the other side of the street and Washik appears to ask him for a water gun, making a flicking motion with her hands in the direction of Rochester.
>The footage doesn't capture the side of the house, where Rochester alleges he was intentionally sprayed.
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.
Del Arco also talks about filming with Whoopi Goldberg for TNG's "I, Borg."
Flag restrictions are typically a way to ban Pride flags without actually saying it out loud.
Master Replicas is working with original design company used by The Next Generation's production team to revive the sci-fi-esque mug, after it was discontinued 8 years ago.
Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go in this expanding vast universe.
Covering the era from The Original Series, to Star Trek: Enterprise, and the films, the franchise is known for celebrating the beauty of exploration and analyzing ethical dilemmas largely based on societal issues.
Interesting - I guess the newer stuff is covered by a separate license.
The new line of action figures are based on characters from across the iconic Star Trek franchise that spans nearly 60 years.

The Mastodon version of this Lemmy post should contain the link (and does, when I look at it).
The actor, who was 99, was the voice of Grandpa Pig, the Daleks and Lady Penelope's butler Parker.
>For today’s generation of children, his voice will be instantly familiar as that of Grandpa Pig, in the Peppa Pig series.
>Previously, for nearly two decades he created the sound of the evil Daleks in the long-running sci-fi show Doctor Who – adopting a staccato style and then feeding his voice through a synthesiser.
Why must the lowest-hanging fruit taste so sweet?
I think we have to assume it is - there's kind of an unspoken contract with the writers that any universe containing the trappings of the Mirror Universe must be the Mirror Universe.
And there's certainly precedent for the shows and movies nicking elements from novels and comics. It doesn't have to mean that the works have been "canonized," but it's nice to see them using bits from those stories when it suits them.

I'm no DPS chaser, and the character I used is weirdly weak against Borg for reasons I've never bothered trying to uncover, but I think you could probably complete it more quickly than "Wanted." I'm sure the XP rewards are far smaller, though.
That's probably a good comparison. I don't know whether the final battle is time-gated like those Klingon patrols are, but if they are, it's a much shorter time limit.
Patrol: "Unwanted Guests"
This one is less interesting than "Out of Control" - close a couple portals, fight a few Borgs. Not much to say, really.
Moving forward, I'll probably stick with the TFO - it's not too complicated, and lets us knock out both daily points at once.
It felt similar to the TFO with the multiple shipyards and genocidal Klingon lady.
I've only run it once, but agreed. I did find the geography of the map a little confusing, but I'm sure I'll learn the lay of the land after some more runs through it.
Patrol: "Out of Control"
It's a pretty standard "defeat 5 groups of enemies" patrol, with the added wrinkle of the timed AoE attacks from the Borg. I actually enjoy this mechanic, especially when I'm in a slow-as-shit cruiser like I was when I ran the patrol today.
The story is nothing to write home about, as is usually the case with patrols. Alt-universe Iconians need our protection, blah blah blah.
For a brief moment, I thought maybe the other shoe was going to drop re: the Aetherians, but it was not to be (it also would have been very strange for that to happen in a patrol).
This article does not say threats were made - it says, "according to Chinese Canadian interview subjects, this invoked a widespread fear amongst electors, described as a fear of retributive measures from Chinese authorities should a CPC government be elected."
That's bad, to be sure, but if there was no direct threat, you're going to have a pretty hard time prosecuting the issue.
So...if I were to say online that Donald Trump is an absolute disgrace, and people in the US should vote for his opponent, should I be facing charges in the US? Or maybe my comment should just be nuked?
By no means am I arguing that foreign influence is a good thing, but it's awfully hard to regulate effectively.
That assumes they're operating within the country.
The "pressure" in question is social media content - how do you propose legislating that?
Producer David Richardson said: “This was an absolute treat to work on. The Fugitive Doctor is such a brilliant, head-turning twist in this amazing long-running show we all love, and script editor Robert Valentine and I had such fun making plans.
“Thirteenth Doctor showrunner, Chris Chibnall, very generously gave up his time and met with us on Zoom while we threw around ideas and he gave us some clarifications about this most enigmatic era of Doctor Who. We came out of that meeting elated, full of purpose and sure of our direction.
“Chris told us that Jo was fantastic and a gorgeous person to work with, and he was absolutely right of course – she came into the studio full of joy for the part, always smiling, always brilliant and charismatic. The Fugitive Doctor now has her own audio series – and as the saying goes, it’s about time…”
Okay, I actually think it's pretty cool that Chibnall is taking an active interest in the audio stuff.
Jo Martin and Alice Krige star in a brand-new box set of full-cast audio drama due to be released in January 2025, as the long-awaited Fugitive Doctor lands at Big Finish Productions.

A law against what, exactly?
>The Conservative strategy was clear: attack the New Democrats, whom a significant number of east Winnipeg voters have always liked, by going even harder on the Liberals, who have never enjoyed better than middling support in this corner of the city.
>Running against one party by tying them to another was a novel strategy, U of M political studies professor Royce Koop said earlier this month.
>"The Liberals are very unpopular. They're certainly not competitive in that seat," and so an attempt to tie the NDP to them "makes some sense," he said.
>"But you don't see that all the time."
>After what happened on Monday night in Elmwood-Transcona, you may never see it again.
CBC has this to add:
Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE Inc.), which owns 37.5 per cent of MLSE, said in a Wednesday press release that the deal is expected to close in mid-2025.
The company said that it is selling its ownership stake to reduce its debt and "support its ongoing transformation" from a telecommunications firm to a tech company.
What the hell are they doing over there?
Whoever decided to try to tie this situation to the Nygard trial needs to seriously rethink their life choices.
"We believe serving in caucus while actively practicing as a criminal defense attorney is a conflict of interest" is far more defensible than "this guy works with someone who defended a reprehensible criminal."
