Well that’s a major morning spoiler :(

Oh wow. I’m sad, but can’t say I’m really surprised, though. The writings were all over the wall. It’s been a good run.

Dangit, Collider went all weird and now I’m losing io9 too? Where will I get my spoilers from now? I’ve had a 9.30 appointment in my calendar every weekday morning to come here since....forever.

They shouldn’t even recast, just act like she’s there but small when the plot requires her character.

Well you don’t get rich paying your bills...

There’s an alternate timeline where Alien3 takes place on Earth, as the first teaser trailer promised -

Mangroves don’t grow in ocean water, they grow in brackish water. You can’t just put them on beach and have a mangrove......uh, grove. 

This is how you know it’s really me; if there isn’t a spelling or grammar mistake, it’s an imposter.  (exept this time)  :D  

Mangroves would help with the erosion and also helps to reduce the effects of storm surge! They’re also fantastic for local wildlife.

“Our coastlines are the first line of defense against storms, and our Gulf beaches are just eroding away,” Hendrickson told Grist. “I don’t know where we go with it now, or how we come together to work through it.”

Ah, you know the demographic.  It’s Florida after all.  

Typical republicans.  

Why should tax payers pay for their private property? Typical freeloaders.

I’m going to also hedge my bets and say these are the same people that attempt to absolutely pay the lowest amount of taxes possible (or skirt them entirely).

If they want tax payers money to be used to fix it then tax payers should have access to the beaches. Otherwise let them pay for it themselves 

Right... so lots of mixed feelings about this one. Much like the previous story, 73 Yards, it’s an episode that keeps you glued to the screen and mostly hits, but as soon as it’s over, you immediately stop and think “wait a second, that’s one hell of a gaping plot hole. Why wasn’t that fixed in the final draft?”

Have her check out Strange New Worlds.  That might be a better entrance, also with a lot of strong female characters.

Netflix execs, if you’re reading this: pick up Lower Decks, give us at least a few more seasons, and I’ll solemnly swear never to cancel my subscription.

Really started with the wrong show to get your kids interested in Trek. Not Disco bashing, it’s just not super-kid friendly.
