This is what I wanted from this. It's the same device that worked for Captain America. You give them a standalone period piece and then at the end they fall through time and do a big team up movie.

I mean it's your choice to walk around with shit in your hat, but you do you.

Politics is not a zero sum game. You don't vote for the good choice. You vote for the less bad choice.

Might as well just shit in your own hat for all the good that will do anyone.

Best case scenario at this point is one of them croaks before November. It's insane to me that Biden even contemplated a second term, when the whole point of picking Kamala Harris as his VP was so she could be the young fit successor. It's time to roll out plan B, guys.

I see Simone Giertz, I click. She remains one of the best people on YouTube.

Weekend discharges occur less frequently than discharges on weekdays, contributing to hospital congestion. Artificial intelligence algorithms have previously been derived to predict which patients are nearing discharge based upon ward round notes. In this implementation study, such an artificial intelligence algorithm was coupled with a multidisciplinary discharge facilitation team on weekend shifts. This approach was implemented in a tertiary hospital, and then compared to a historical cohort from the same time the previous year. There were 3990 patients included in the study. There was a significant increase in the proportion of inpatients who received weekend discharges in the intervention group compared to the control group (median 18%, IQR 18–20%, vs median 14%, IQR 12% to 17%, P = 0.031). There was a corresponding higher absolute number of weekend discharges during the intervention period compared to the control period (P = 0.025). The studied intervention was associated with an increase in weekend discharges and economic analyses support this approach as being cost-effective. Further studies are required to examine the generalizability of this approach to other centers.

The contemplative and slower tone of the coda really highlighted what was lost in switching to shorter seasons with a long serialized arc to babysit. Imagine if we had those arcs but with a handful of bottle episodes peppered throughout.

I wonder if they cut down the Moll resolution a bit to make room for the series wrap up. It did feel a bit abrupt.

I totally called Kovich being a time traveler, but them folding him into Daniels was a neat surprise, and felt like a naturally revelation. "Oh, of course he's bloody Daniels." It expanded both characters without diminishing their mystery at all.

Knowing that Calypso was meant to be the whole focus of season 6 is a hard blow, though. We'll likely never get that story now. I'm glad they were able to at least tie it firmly back to the show, but man, it would have been fun to see how it played out. Why does Kovich need this Craft, and why does it require the ship to be de-refitted? Maybe now that the show is done they'll give it a proper continuation in novel form. One can only hope.

This is an excellent distillation of what makes Tilly great. Imho she's the best written character across the board in any Trek of the past two decades. I missed her sorely in season 4.

It's definitely a a nice nod to the character. If bar patrons 600 years later still get the reference, that speaks well of her lasting influence on the Federation.
