  • for a distance of 5km, which is around 10 minutes by car, I needed 2 hours from the time I set off.

    Wow, that’s insane. I feel like a lot of these problems are similar to my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Very car centric and sprawling, almost nobody walks if they can help it.

    Adding real time tracking for buses and dedicated bus lanes was massively helpful and really improved the system - from personal experience, knowing exactly where my bus was helped me plan how to get to the stop in time to catch the buses to university.

    It sounds like if they did something similar here, it would be a big increase in ridership - knowledge is power!












  • Well said. Archer could have been such an interesting character who grows throughout the series, and I think that was much of the original plan, but I think the writers were straight up exhausted from TNG - DS9 - VOY for like 30 years and gave up trying.

    9/11 allegory with the Xindi - I mean, it was a pretty big event and it’s only natural for America’s biggest sci fi show to try and tackle it. The Xindi arc was interesting and I think really good in some parts - but it didn’t feel like Trek to me. This wasn’t the show to try it on.

    I feel so bad for Scott Bakula. This was going to be an absolutely defining role for him but he was given nothing to work with, and was cut loose right when the interesting stuff started showing up. I really want him to get another chance to shine, with some decent writing up to the calibre of Strange New Worlds at least.
