No. Enoch, from the Book of Enoch. It is a book of the Bible considered apocryphal by most traditions, with some exceptions.

Lest we forget his experiences with Missy, especially in the final episodes of the season, clearly opening up the possibility to him.

Likely the difficulty in interpreting your comment came down to a lack of an apostrophe in indicating a possessive. If you had written “first Doctor’s”, then it would have been clear you meant the first Doctor specifically and singular. Without that, it does ambiguously seem to refer to any number of “first Doctors”,…

I think it’s more likely that both characters were inspired from the same source material.

That would be because they’re basically all made in Canada with Canadian actors. As I understand it, Canada has laws about requiring a certain amount of Canadian-made programming on their TV, and as such there are a lot of joint Canadian/US TV projects.

You’re thinking of the PlayChoice-10, which had the actual home-version NES games in it, and you fed it quarters for play time. I remember playing Metroid on it. Not a great game to play in 5 minute bursts....

I am constantly subjected to the Hallmark Channel due to others in my household addicted to it, and I think it is much more accurate to say that they assume black people and Asians simply do not exist.

I would argue that “trickle down” is the easy self-delusion that gives them permission not to even feel guilty about not caring. Most humans, even the nasty ones, will feel a twinge of guilt now and then about harming others... unless they can give themselves an out. “It will trickle down.” “It’s for their own good.”…

Not just sorry, but emotionally wrecked by it. Said a lot of things about her.

Despite her affinity otherwise for constrictive... things.

Well I mean unless the Internet has a lending library for that sort of thing....

Can’t say I have. I’ve quite sadly gotten away from reading books very often. Bit of a combo of lack of attention span and lack of availability (haven’t had a library of any note at my disposal in many years). It does sound like an interesting collection though. I can see parallels in your description.

I felt like it worked as a finale because it brought the Ed and Kelly arc to a climax, and even a cliffhanger of sorts. Nothing of great cosmic import, but the series opens with the last moment of their marriage, so there’s a symmetry.

Agreed. I think more often than not Picard chose to walk away from a situation rather than try to impose his morals on it, however much he wanted to. Picard’s big speeches on principles tended to be directed more at his own people.

That’s pretty well exactly what I think they’re supposed to be. In Star Trek, they’d be one of those ships that drops off the episode’s guest star and maybe you don’t even see it do so. It’s just a note in a log entry voiceover. Their senior staff consists largely of reasonably competent people that nonetheless noone…

Well, it suggests he wanted to do something positive for the “holiday season”, but that’s it. It actually doesn’t say anything at all like what you said here.

I don’t think they ever at any point claim or imply it is a Christmas song in any way. Just that it’s beautiful and peaceful.

I for one have never understood why this blows people’s minds. After all, humans are an order of apes and there are all manner of “lesser” apes and monkeys running around out there.

I bet you eat pigs. Have you seen pigs? Especially the cute little pink ones? Bit of a family resemblance I’ve always thought.

I dunno. When’s the last time you ate mammal meat?
