He was 57 when the book was published. I checked, because I was hoping he was 69, but alas...

Unlike some people here, I enjoyed seasons 3-5 more than seasons 1-2.

S1: the Mirrorverse section overstayed its welcome. Feels wrong that it would have so much influence over the prime universe. Also, it felt wrong for a Starfleet crew to have this much internal conflict. Some of the more standalone episodes were enjoyable, though.

S2: a recurring problem with most of the series begins crystallizing here: why does each season need a universe-ending threat to motivate the plot? It got tiresome in this season, but kept happening for every subsequent season. Felt too contrived. But the less extreme internal conflict made it more enjoyable, as did the addition of captain Pike.

S3: I read somewhere that one of the pitches for a new series before Discovery was made was basically what Discovery became in its third season. I loved the "rebuilding the Federation" aspect of this. Really helped bring into focus what the Federation and Starfleet meant. I didn't enjoy the "universe-ending threat" aspect, and think the season would have been better without it.

S4: Another "universe-ending threat"? This season had some interesting individual episodes, and the final resolution is great Star Trek, but it would have been better if they had come up with a different way to get there. But there's also more "rebuilding the Federation" that was enjoyable.

S5: slightly less universe-ending here, which gave us a little more room to breathe. Some enjoyable character interactions that were less common in previous seasons. Some really wonderful, quintessentially Star Trek episodes. The ending to the season arc was a bit disappointing. The series ending felt tacked-on (because it was).

I honestly think this series would have been better if it essentially started with the premise of season 3 and skipped seasons 1 and 2. And if they dropped the season-length universe-ending threats in favor of something more subtle, leaving more room for character-building.

And I honestly had more problems with Picard (especially season 2) than with Discovery, even though I found it harder to get into Discovery at the beginning.

Hard agree with everyone here that says SNW is a cut above Discovery and Picard. And Lower Decks and Prodigy are also really good (and really good Star Trek) in their own ways.

Make a documentary about time travel. Start by describing the different approaches used in various popular movies and TV series (always using Primer or Tenet as a punchline about an approach nobody understands) but gradually have the focus shifting towards the consequences of time travel, and then progressing towards the realization that actions have consequences even without time travel.

All while keeping with your premise of using the stars of time travel movies as the main talking heads in that documentary, instead of using scientists (though by all means use scientists as consultants throughout!)

Programmed obsolescence?

How about waffle fries?

I was reading about this in a book about Bill Murray just the other day. Apparently, Murray used some time off while he was filming Tootsie to appear in this.

The real question to ask is, does it contain any chemicals?

I only eat ham that is 100% composed of virtual particles.

"I was in the war, you know. Gunner in the air force. I shot down 27 enemy planes, but do they call me 'Richard Gunner'? No...

"After the war I went into construction. Give some wood and nails, and I'll build you the nicest of houses! But do they call me 'Richard Carpenter'? No...

"Then I went into politics. Spent my time speaking truth to power, ruffled some feathers, and was well-liked, but do they call me 'Honest Richard? No...

"But sick one little cock, and..."

When the shopkeeper thinks he has the concept of a deal.

It insists upon itself?

(I haven't seen it)

From other articles I've read, some parts are sourced outside the US, some from within. I think the implication was that they're assembled in the US, but I haven't seen anything to completely confirm it.

Was it in Québec? Because other provinces tend to have cheap imitations of what you can get at a proper casse-croûte in Québec.
