I love that they do these every season. Nice touch with updating it with the sheer destruction of the end of the previous season too. Mark looks like he’s wearing parts of Robot.😁

Thanks for sharing. During my own MH ordeal, I was offered medication. However, I’d been advised not to by my parents, due to side effects and it being difficult to get off them. I went down the counselling/therapy route instead, although that was hardly consistent. I always tell people to talk.πŸ€—πŸ€πŸ’œ

Our Plan to Super Charge mental health services: -Mental health MOTs at key life points -A dedicated practitioner in every school -Full parity between mental and physical health care -Walk in hubs for children and young people -Triple taxes on harmful social media giants

No one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental health services.

It's time to supercharge mental health care in this country.

This looks and sounds really good! If you’re like me and have been waiting for some post-PIC (or close enough) stories, this counts. Nice to see not only Captain Seven, Commander Raffi and Admiral Crusher but also Traveller Wesley too. Will definitely have to check this out. #StarTrekPicard

That’s quite alright. I was toying with the idea of putting Insurrection instead, as I also like that too.😁

Great news! I’ve always considered it a part of the franchise too, as Father Perez from β€œAnnabelle” is in it and even talks about his ordeal with the doll. It’s just as scary as most of the franchise and I always watch it whenever I’m doing a marathon of all of it.

I don’t know what to think about this yet. While I’m always happy to see more stories in this universe, I must admit this trailer doesn’t give me the usual excited, β€œThis is amazing!” buzz. It’s more a sort of β€œAh, OK then.” #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms youtu.be/UvoTrSpG-ms?...

A lot of it surrounded the director, Stuart Baird. He was primarily known in the film industry as an Editor, rather than a Director. He also didn’t care about either the established Trek characters, their motivations or what the actors thought. There was talk of replacing Troi with Seven from VOY.

I agree. Shinzon had a few good moments where he seemed like he could’ve been redeemed. But, they then threw in stuff like mentally raping Troi and trying to irradiate everyone.πŸ™„

I know Murray was talking about possibly doing one big release to catch up. He has done it before, both with the Series 1 & 2 (Eccleston and Tennant) episodes and some of the Christmas/Anniversary specials. We’ll have to see what they do.

The clip is quite chilling because as soon as he used the phrase and realised he'd confirmed they're using the fascist playbook he just stopped talking and stood still. And CNN covered asking about technical glitch rather than make it clear what was happening.

Glad you like it. I always say how multilayered the space battle is, especially how they need to keep changing tactics. Like, to find the Scimitar at first, they fire off all the phaser arrays until they hit it. When the shields on top of the Enterprise get drained, they roll the ship over.

Star Trek Nemesis. I’m well aware of the many flaws and behind the scenes crap that went on, especially where the β€œdirector” was concerned. But, I really like it and think it has one of the best space battles in the entire franchise too.

I see Hulu’s finally arrived here in the U.K. Well, technically it’s always been here, they just put it on Disney+ under the β€œStar” brand. So, it’s more of a Marathon-becoming-Snickers kind of thing. #Hulu πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

I’m a huge fan of Mike Flanagan’s work, especially all his Netflix dramas. This one’s definitely one of the best. It’s both scary and emotional. Also, as someone who left the church years ago, I can definitely understand one of the most-hated characters, as I’ve known people like that.

I know DSC season 1 was on 5, which made sense as 5 is part of the Paramount Network and there’s a lot of 5 shows on P+. So it’s weird SNW is going to ITV. I know ITV has recently partnered with Disney+, so there’s a lot of sharing of content between them both. It’s very confusing!πŸ™„πŸ€”

A bit of news for my fellow U.K. Trekkies. Apparently, #StarTrekSNW is coming to both the free streaming platform ITVX and the related terrestrial TV channel ITV1 later this month (late at night though!). This might be good for any of you who can’t afford Paramount+.πŸ–– apple.news/AseaqOZgcR3y...

Ed Davey writes to disillusioned conservatives: 
Dear friends,

Our country is at a crossroads.

The Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch is becoming more extreme and out of touch, chasing Nigel Farage instead of focusing on the issues that really matter to people. Meanwhile, Reform UK is growing in strength - threatening the tolerant, decent values that hold our communities together.

I know many One Nation Conservatives are deeply concerned about the lurch to the hard right in our country and under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership. Her plans to tear up the Climate Change Act and withdraw from the ECHR show she is abandoning traditional British values of tolerance, decency and the rule of law. 

So my message to the millions of One Nation Conservatives who feel let down by their party and reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is to come and join us. Help us save our country and defend the values we all hold dear.

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform. We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

So if you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats. 

With best wishes,

Ed Davey
