  1. I have so many issues with this season.   

    1.  As mentioned about Scar Island/the Aquarium.   I fucking hate when TV/Movies use a literal place (like Seattle) and then fuck up the geography.  Plus, even if Ellie washes up on an island in that kind of weather, she's probably dead.  The closest island to Pier 59 is Bainbridge and that's 10 miles away.  Plus, haven't the Scars eschewed technology?  So how are they way the fuck over there and then getting over to Seattle proper?  And why are they even doing so?  Seems like staying on Bainbridge and not dealing with the WLF at all would be the best course of action.  Finally, Isaac's boat come out the south and head north to wherever their going.  The closest heavily wooded area on the water going north would be Discovery Park and that's 8+ miles away.  So the Scar's are basecamping 7-8 miles north of downtown?  That's 2-4 hours of walking.   Ellie, Dina and Jesse "escape" into a park after Jesse finds them.  WTF?   

    2.  Item two on the Aquariam.  The land where the Aquariam sits is about 400-500 feet from a very, very large incline/hill @ Western Avenue.   The show has the Aquariam way the fuck out in Elliott Bay.   If the area between the Aquariam and Alaskan Way/Western Avenue was under water, then the Aquarium and Wheel are under water as well.  

    3. The WLF have set up at Lumen Field.   That could explain why Isaac's Navy came from the south.  But that puts Discovery Park close to 10 miles north.  Those little boats are going that far in that weather?   Which bring me to...

    4.  Where the fuck are the WLF getting gasoline from?  According to the game, it's been 25 years since the outbreak.  Even if it had only been 5 years, gas isn't going to do shit.  Seattle isn't exactly known for it's oil fields and refineries. 

    5.  When Joel send Ellie back to get the horses.  They left them on top of the hill because the switchbacks would take too long to get down.  They thought they had an hour or two before Eugene changed.   Ellie had time to get back up those switchbacks and then down?  While leading another horse that would take even more time?  Their initial descent would have taken 10-15 minutes minimum.   By the time they found Eugene he was already a dead man.   He wasn't making it back to Jackson.  

    6.  I realize it's an integral part of the whole story line but Ellie's thirst for revenge just keeps getting people killed.  

    I realize I am arguing points about a TV show where mushrooms have infected people but still.  

    Final thought from earlier in the season.  Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to use flamethrowers in a town surrouned by a wooden fence?   And who thought an all wood fence was the best idea?   I realize Jackson wouldn't exactly have foundry to make steel plates but there had to be a better solution.

    Also China's navy is now bigger numbers wise than the USN and will probably lead it 2:1 before I croak, tonnage is smaller but thanks to advancement in electronics and automation smaller ships are a GOOD thing. 

     

    China's 2:1 ships ratio is like comparing Aggie's enrollment numbers to Stanford.   Sure, more Aggies but a considerably higher number of morons.

    Present day just wouldn't work, has to be a period piece. 80's Miami was wild and trashy present day is just trashy.

    Tell me this doesn't still give you goosebumps

     

     

    And that this scene isn't amazing.   60 seconds goes by before Crockett asks how much time they have.   It feels like an eternity but the tension fills the space perfecty.   Hell, there's a 15 second shot of the Ferrari wheels at the start that is excellent film making.

    So - the US economy is actually the Aggy roller coaster?  Got it.

    And like the Aggies, none of us are ever getting off.

    Yellowstone regional airport in Cody utilizes the essential air thing to have a carrier operate during the winter.  I’d wager there’s quite a few small regional airports that can handle a bonbardier or embraer that only have service at least part of the year because of the federal stipend. 
     

    iirc, United and delta bid on the route to Cody, so they probably like the guaranteed money. I was upset when it changed to delta because the flight changed from Denver to slc and most of my flights were to and from Texas. 

    Meanwhile, the G5s will be parked wingtip to wingtip at Jackson Hole.

    Yeah, criminal "celebrities."  And those with some kind of influence over him.  

    Todd Crisley likes show tunes too.

    per MSNBC, the FBI will now pour resources into the pipe bomb cases from 2021, the cocain discovery at the White House, and who leaked the Roe v Wade from the Supreme Court and the whole purpose of this is to satisfy the maga-tards because they all think this was all Dems. 

     

    This is being touted today by Bongino and we all know it goes nowhere.   Especially when they figure out that the pipe bomber was MTG and Alito leaked the RvW document.

    Most teachers now only are teaching because it’s the next step up in the career ladder. They can make 3X to 4X the money being assistant principals and principals, but they need the 3-5 years in the trenches as classroom teachers before they can apply for AP roles. I remember being in high school and the teachers were old ladies or old coaches who had been there for 20+ years. It’s not like this anymore with the younger generation of teachers and the younger generation of shithead kids who can’t go 5 seconds without their phones. 

    You're an idiot.

    Really don’t know what to think here… part of me is thrilled this exists and the practical side of me is flummoxed…

    I suppose the 22LR wouldn’t kick TOO badly…

    Is that the one that killed Greedo?
