Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • Roughriders @ Bombers

    I actually tried to stream this one, but the CFL website was having none of it, so I…didn’t. And absolutely no one seems willing to put together a highlight reel.

    Based on what I’ve read, it sounds like it went…fine? I’m glad the Bombers played Collaros - it’s good for him to get some reps, especially with the upcoming one-game suspension. It sounds like the game itself might have been a bit of a snoozer, but that’s preseason for you.












  • More than an omen, an identical lineage might be engineered to similar effects — in which case we are uncomfortably close to the magical thinking of eugenics.

    I would guess that it wouldn’t work, though - the laws of magic would probably insist on it being genuine happenstance.

    I unfortunately don’t think we’ll see the Rani applying the actual scientific method to what she’s doing - her experimentation seems to be done, and she’s moved on to application.

    I think she’s retained her sense of purpose, though, which sets her apart from the more chaotic Master.




  • though I guess not overtly racist

    I was shocked, too.

    Not sure why he wished for giant skeleton monsters

    I was wondering about that - since they’re only sort-of “there,” I wonder if they’re a creation of the Rani’s. In “Unleashed” they talked about how the bones of the bone palace are largely based on birds…they played it off as simply being designed that way because they look cool, but…is there some significance?

    Another thing about Conrad: they did an interesting job portraying him as a victim in his own right, with Mrs. Flood still serving as his jailor, and, sort of creepily, as a mother figure.
