...but Fox said that California is bad! How many of the Fortune 500 companies now in Texas actually started in California and then moved to Texas and still have a substantial California presence? The game is called talent, and talent doesn't want to move to Texas, especially female talent.

I imagine they (are told to) say that because Texas gives preference to corporations over its citizens while California doesn't, but that's just a guess. For example, Public School Rankings by State 2026 has CA at #8 and TX at #34 - surprisingly, the latter is lower than FL at #24. (New York is highest at #1, btw.)

She was 88 years old, likely suffering dementia, and living in a nursing home. Why should anything have been done? She was probably no code ... until her estate saw dollar signs.

Sounds like Trump, except 8 years older; I wonder how much his family will sue for should he die in office. /cynical

Nope. The republicans control the courts there; to the point of discarding and disregarding the will and votes of the people entirely. So while neither party technically has that "trifecta" in Virginia, maga controls the state and agenda in Virginia.

I get what you're saying but your post didn't mention the Judiciary, just the Executive and Legislative:

There are 39 U.S. states where a single political party holds "trifecta" control, meaning one party holds the governorship as well as majorities in both chambers of the state legislature.

It was flogged to death and then some. They must've done every story variation under the sun , probably multiple times. Whats the point of just doing the same thing with new actors and slightly better CGI? Instead of reanimating corpses of old series the money should be spent on something new instead.

Sounds like U.S. politics, except for the better CGI. :-)

Joe Mallozzi, one of the writers of SG1 did another series in the 2010s called Dark Matter, which started out incredibly well but suffered from Stargate Syndrome in S2, it was cancelled before the end of S3. A shame as it had a lot of potential if they didn't make the heroes effectively untouchable.

I enjoyed Dark Matter too, as well as Killjoys, which was a bit more of a romp. It's a shame that SyFy didn't continue them both.

I only made it through two or three episodes before it clearly evoked the Eight Deadly Words. [Which are: "I don't care what happens to these people."]

That's pretty quick. Our President made it two years into his second season before (basically) saying the same thing, out loud, and (more) people finally started believing.him. :-)
