It took me forever to find the story, but I think what happened is that they sit down the Paramount+, which handled "publicity, photo, events, awards, talent relations, etc.".

Those roles have been offloaded to the studio (CBS Studios), and I guess this event, and probably the recent Universal thing, have been put together by them?

I've struggled with this question for years, and haven't been able to come up with an answer I feel good about, so the "correct" answer is probably, "consider the person's tastes and cater to them."

I do believe that it's probably not a good idea to start with the "best" episodes - they tend to break the usual format, and once you've seen them, there's nowhere to go but down.

Instead, I'm on a continuous search for the most "average" episodes - solid, enjoyable, and representative of what the series and franchise are as a whole. But I still don't have a simple answer.

According to the official site, the final schedule won't go up until the week of the convention.

I'm sure it wouldn't work for , but this is the unfortunate consequence of treating it so casually in season one...

It's definitely a case of NORAD working as designed. Which is good!

The fact that we're borderline amazed that it's working as designed is much less good.

I was mainly responding to the claim that there's no base, but I really don't see the value in stationing a combat squadron there.

In the case of an actual foreign invasion, there would be enough time to redeploy from elsewhere.

As I said downthread, that's a very sensible use of a coastal air force base.

Yeah, the most imminent air threat has historically been over the pole, which is why CFB Cold Lake exists.

The squadrons on Vancouver Island are for surveillance and search-and-rescue, which is entirely sensible for the coast.

CFB Comox is located on Vancouver Island.

Possibly, but looking at the episode titles, episode 9 "Terrarium" seems like it could be a good candidate for a Gorn return.

It really didn't seem like it, but:

You will see more of the Gorn. The Gorn are not gone, but the Gorn are not the primary adversary for season 3.

The entire series is set in a snow globe on Sam Kirk's mantle, in the home where he lives to be 147.
