The folks at Winnipeg Sports Talk had a somewhat (okay, much) more cynical take, largely based on the fact that Maurice has participated in handshake lines as recently as last year, is known for being good in front of the media, and managed to talk about how this is all about the players for a solid two minutes.

Their take, not mine. I've got a lot of affection for PoMo, but admittedly that is precisely because he's so good in front of a microphone.

Edit: Timestamp of the conversation.

Captain or no, I don't think there's any evidence that he had any knowledge of what was going on, is there?

Chevy is much more heavily implicated in that mess, even though he was found to have been "not responsible for the improper decisions made by the Chicago Blackhawks".

 

David wrote many, many Trek novels and comics, including the New Frontier series.

I've never heard of these - wot in tarnation...?

A decent chunk of his argument is simply to push back against this...loudly.

Finally, it is time to start calling out a lot of provincial grievance for the rank bullshit it often is.

Thanks - I find the "reformed" Senate fascinating.

Perhaps "urban" is the wrong word, but it ain't exactly Cestus III, y'know?

As someone who's not familiar with the LA area, it blows my mind that those things are basically in the middle of an urban area.

Thank you for sharing - we appreciate any and all first-person accounts of events!

I have to admit, when they first announced the Fan Fest Nights, my initial reaction was that it sounded like it would be kind of cheap and disappointing. But it seems like they did a really nice job of the Trek event, along with some of the others that I've read about (especially Back to the Future).

Full credit to their fans for starting an initiative to donate $55 to the True North Foundation, though. Very classy, and worthy of mention.

So is the protowarp merely a more powerful version of the warp drive?

That was my takeaway - it's got the power to propel the ship (much) higher into the warp 9.9XXXXX range.
