Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3

I may have been premature in assuming that Season 3 will not be available on CTV Sci-Fi Channel.

I may have misunderstood. I just checked the PVR's "Guide" function to look ahead to Thursday night. I saw short blurbs for "Hegemony II" and "Wedding Bell Blues".

I'll know for sure on Thursday night, it seems.

Music: Mike Post, Interviewed for Q

Since the interview's airing on CBC Radio, I'm using this icon.

Post's music has been a large chunk of the soundtrack of my life, in my opinion.

Quiz: TV Series Set in Toronto

Let's see how many of them are known to my circle here on Dreamwidth.

(Yes, I blame L&O: Toronto: Criminal Intent for this impulse. No, I haven't seen the first episode.)

Horror re: CBC Staffing

This is not what I want for the future of the Public Broadcaster:

Here and I've been listening to this year's edition of the Massey Lectures for most of the afternoon while I was working on the new day job...

Two TV Anniversaries of Note and Happiness

For those who care: this is the tenth anniversary of the launch of Agents of SHIELD and the sixth anniversary of the launch of Star Trek: Discovery. That coincidence shared by two TV series that I favour is worthy of some celebratory attention.

Checking In - 23 March 2023

Bracing for some more medical stuff, a change-up of computer gear as well (having been gifted some newer second-hand gear this week), and enjoyed Picard tonight.

More later.

Sad News: RIP Teletoon

My animation professor at Algonquin, Gerry Paquette confirmed by sending this link to me this afternoon:

https://www.awn.com/news/canadian-channel-teletoon-shut-down

Classmates of mine worked on shows for that channel in its early years. We're going to miss it in the forms we've been used to watching it in, I think.

Star Trek: "PIC: Disengage" (Spoilers in Comments Allowed)

Yeah. Picard was fun.

I enjoyed "Disengage", and Amanda Plummer is a joy to watch as she tears stuff apart.

Doctor Who: I am going to miss...

...everything after this latest movie, apparently. BBC and Disney+ just announced their Big Deal for access to the series outside of the UK from now on. CTV Sci-Fi is history to them now, just as the CBC was forced by Conservative Party pressure to walk away from their relationship for Canadian broadcast rights years earlier.

I smell ideological pressure on the BBC from somewhere, of course.

CBC: David Suzuki Retires

https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/david-suzuki-retires-the-nature-of-things-1.6625011

I can't remember a time when Dr. Suzuki wasn't hosting/narrating The Nature of Things on CBC's English-language TV division. This, despite the fact that he was not the series' first host.

Well, it's my expectation that he will not be the last host of the series, either. This, despite his longevity in that role across the decades. CBC has a number of qualified people already on the payroll to fill the gap. I'm leaning in favour of Nicole Mortillaro. They will do well together, given the chance.

CBC will do as it will do, of course, regardless of my opinion...

Ottawa Siege: Emergencies Act Hearings I

Those hearings have started this morning. I've got the opening remarks of several of the parties with standing going on CBC Newsworld-as-was as background sound to keep me informed as I job-search and do other online things today.

As an explainer to those just tuning in:

This comes as a bit of a shock:

This comes as a bit of a shock, but I suppose after Corner Gas and Trailer Park Boys did it…?

Who’s next? Due South?
