But when the foreign student cash cow arrived, they pivoted in that direction.
Setting the specific college aside...this is true for pretty much all of them. Government funding and domestic tuition rates simply aren't enough to cover operating costs, and post-secondary institutions have been (over) relying on foreign students for decades.
Sometimes, she crashes the ship!
I thought this one was a perfectly enjoyable, even "classic" (whatever that means) episode - something I'd been hoping for in this season that has seemed a little too "gimmicky" at times.
I wasn't wowed by it, but it was hitting all the right notes.
And then they got to the Metron reveal, and...I just don't know. It serves little purpose aside from connecting dots of continuity, and I just don't find that interesting. It's fine, I guess, but I think the episode would have been better off without it.
I mean, that's pretty standard. They wrote the "Best of Both Worlds" cliffhanger with no idea how they were going to resolve it.
Very, very few shows aren't "made up as they went along".
after the 3 minute mark, timekeeping switches from ‘running time’ to ‘stopped time’
A big fan of this - make the end of the game as dramatic as possible!
Looking forward to the Banjo Bowl - hopefully the home field advantage will help put the Blue over the top.
I see no reason that both things cannot be true.
Vulcans do go through extensive training to achieve kolinar; they also possess unique genetic traits that make it possible.
None of the episodes you cited stated that biology plays no role in the Vulcan capacity for emotional suppression.
So we have one episode that says it fits, and zero that say it doesn't.
I asked you for a direct reference, and you provided a vague gesture.
Based on all of Star Trek.
The episode I just referenced demonstrates that this is not true.
If you want to be a canon cop, you can't be selective.
On what are you basing this? Because it's not the Voyager episode.
EMH: There's a definite neurochemical imbalance in the mesiofrontal cortex.
JANEWAY: Which means what?
EMH: That's where the Vulcan psycho-suppression systems are located.
Vulcans have biological psych-suppression systems.
I had an idea for what I would have done with a Disco musical.
Rather than having everyone be forced to sing, the episode would be an actual stage musical put on by the crew in the shuttlebay or someplace.
The plot? The story of first contact with the Vulcans...but the "official," Borg-free version, with a glorified, square-jawed version of Zefram Cochrane.
