A few points here:

It’s unclear to me why/how people are misreading your comment.

Do you take everything you see in traumatic flashbacks on a sci-fi show at face value?

Burnham was court-martialed and sentenced to life in prison for mutiny against Captain Georgiou, an action that led to Georgiou’s death and the war with the Klingons

I think you’re jumping the gun on assuming that the flashbacks we saw were true memories; they appeared to be depicting what Tyler remembered (or thought he remembered), but not necessarily what actually happened. I’ll make no actual predictions but I think it’s plausible that if Voq became Tyler — physically, through…

The original geeks of Galaxy Quest were ostracized and mocked for their interest in the show. Now, their fandom is shared by everyone—but not all of them may like that.

Agreed on all but the Tyler/Klingon Sleeper stuff. He may not necessarily actually be Voq, but there’s clearly something about his relationship to the Klingons that we don’t yet know. The reference to Voq — who valued his Klingon identity of all — needing to “give up everything,” the production crew’s weird reactions…

“Basically, the only reason to move on is cap space, and the only reason you want cap space is to sign more free agents. But the team is so bad right now”

And just to follow up on your attempt to argue assumption of risk: the victim assumed the risk of a player or someone else unintentionally running into him. He did not assume the risk that someone else would undertake the criminal act of assaulting him.

Yeah, I’m going to strike that answer as not responsive to my question. (If you haven’t received legal training, maybe don’t repeatedly take such unequivocal stands on a legal issue.)

Where’d you get your law degree?

Where are you from? Remind me not to visit. I’d prefer not to be some place where lowering one’s body when delivering a hit is an acceptable instinct for minimizing harm to one’s self.

And a prosecutor — which I used to be — would argue that video clearly shows the offender extend his arms and lower his body to hit the victim, and that if he was acting defensively he would have tried to run around the victim or slow down/place his hands in front of him as if to brace.

Watch the video before you comment on what it shows. You can clearly see that the offender didn’t just happen to bump into the victim as they both were running; he extended his arms and delivered a shove/hit. Whether the victim was allowed to be there or not doesn’t really enter into the equation here.

“Both have some blame.”

Perhaps in some non-legal sense, but it doesn’t negate the offender’s actions. You can clearly see in the video that he didn’t merely bump into the the guy; he extended his arms and applied force to the victim.

The story of how the Federation found its moral center is supposed to be rooted in the post-war 21st century and the era immediately following First Contact... a moral center that we found with a great deal of help from the Vulcans.

Yes...right now, after four films. The point is that very likely would not want to start with a new Bond in his late 40s.

Terra Nova’s premise made no sense, but it wasn’t a bad watch for when you wanted to just relax and not have to think about your man vs. man vs. dinosaur fiction.

We literally had a whole war over whether one of the Several States may decide to withdraw from the Union. (They don’t.)
