I guess the obvious question is whether it was ever attached to her or Belinda...
That probably means you keep good company - I would trust polls over anecdotes.
It's worth noting that in the months preceding the 1995 referendum, the "yes" movement was hovering around 37%. They managed to propel that to 49.42% result in the referendum itself.
Definitely not to be taken lightly.
That poll is cited in the piece, and the fact that separatist sentiments in AB and SK are roughly on par with QC (where it's still treated as a serious threat) is kind of the central point.
We are all Robyn Gossage from "Lux", and she is us.
I'm willing to withhold judgment - the TARDIS violently "bouncing off" of that date is fun - but it is a bit of a head-scratcher. Right up there with the Weeping Angels Paradox that claimed Amy and Rory.
You wanted them to kill Belinda with a frock? You monster.
The lesser of the two evils in the race, so that's...good?
I don’t get the “sequel to “Midnight”” thing, though.
I haven't finished it yet, but the YT video I just shared to the community is shedding some light on how it came about.
TL;DW, they were having trouble getting their original idea (involving actual Nigerian gods) to work, scrapped it, noticed the similarities between what they had left and "Midnight", and leaned into it.
I don't really have a big issue with the entity's shifting motivation - and they did handwave it a bit by saying it was "leaning" during that first episode - but I think it's incredibly risky to do a sequel to an episode that's basically perfect.
Nowhere to go but down, even if you name something that's very good.
I wonder if she might recognize some scents from her holodeck...adventures with Shaxs.
A few scattered thoughts on this:
The NDP are leaderless, and are therefore agendaless until they can get organized again.
They're also probably broke, and in no position to fight another election.
While they certainly hold a good position in the new HoC, there's bound to be some introspection about how that worked out for them last time.
