  1. But supposedly this is all in the game as is the next season when it switches to Abby's story. Beyond season 3 will be new territory.
  2. mdleast is a big beer guy so I know he'll line up some good places for us. I feel that's part of why it moved up to this year's trip. That and being in California. I had wanted to hit up Seattle first. Last year was Coors Field and that was a fun long weekend with the Rocky Mountains NP as part of the trip. We'll hit up La Jolla and a few of the beach towns on this trip. We usually arrive on a Thursday, sight-see on Friday, hit the game and stadium area on Saturday, and fly home late on Sunday.
  3. Great thread idea. mdleast and I are doing a trip to San Diego in August. What are some good places to go to around the stadium? I've hit 13 stadiums so far. We've discussed Seattle for next summer. Top 5 for me so far: 1. Wrigley 2. Fenway 3. Oracle Park 4. Dodger Stadium 5. Target Field Haven't been to PNC Park or Camden. I know those need to happen but PNC will probably have to be a combined trip with Cleveland and Cincinnati to be worth it. Baltimore was out of town when we hit DC and Philly one year. There is a bit of sameness with the new stadiums so they get bonus points if they're around a good area or it's easy to get to them via rail or walking. I didn't mind the Nationals park for that reason.
  4. So logistically, where is Scar Island? I've been to Seattle a few times and I don't remember some random island in the middle of the Sound. Are they hold up on Bainbridge Island or are we talking West Seattle?
  5. Agree on 21st Amendment. It's a little bit of a walk but I enjoyed Salesforce Park. It's a cool use of the space. mdleast and I walked from the Giants game/21st Amendment to there and then went over to Chinatown for dinner at House of Nanking. A cable car ride is always something I do when I go to SF. Yes, it's touristy but it's fun every time. SF MOMA is not that far away from the stadium. When you go to the Golden Gate Bridge, go to the Presidio. You can walk down to Crissy Field via a tunnel. Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge from down there. If you have a car, go to the Marin Headlands and Battery Spencer on the Northwest side of the bridge.
  6. I think they just wanted someone to sacrifice to up the villain level of Gabriel and add to Ethan's sacrifice at not being able to save his team, like what happened in the last one. There was no indication that Luther was sick in the last one.
  7. 2 hits from your top 6. Such a shitfest.
  8. Osuna is certainly something to get excited about.
  9. Lot of stuff closing on this side of White Rock Lake. Hypnotic Donuts, which had been around for almost 13 years has closed. Hong Kong Restaurant which had been in business for over 60 years is gone. Same strip center and there is talk that the whole center is going away for a new development.
  10. This. Very much this. My wife has had a really hard time lately because of how bleak it has gotten. I've tried to encourage our family to be the change we want to see. We are so very lucky to have what we have and there's so much suffering out there. It's up to us to make things better. We can't always worry about what's happening at the macro level that we have no control over other than our one vote. We can help the people who are at the miles long food line on Garland Road near our house that we see twice a month. We can take time to clean up White Rock Lake that we love. We can try to help the homeless, who there will only be more and more of since everyone is pushed to the brink. We can be kind even to those who may not deserve it. Now, the 2nd half of our post. I don't know if I agree with that. We're a nation founded on violence. We've used it throughout our history. We've had hate throughout our history. Native Americans, slaves, immigrants, people who "didn't belong here". This is nothing new. At least we're not committing wholesale genocide of these people now. We do it in other ways now like cycles of violence, poverty, drug addiction, hopelessness. But again, that's why it is up to us to help when we can.
  11. The reception the fans gave Trent was great. They can be angry that he left without getting the club more money but that guy gave 20 years to this club. 2 EPL titles, 1 UEFA, countless great memories.
  12. On that note, 341M globally this weekend for Lilo & Stitch. So gear up for more 90s era nostalgia live action remakes.

  14. MO SALAH! MO SALAH! MO SALAH! RUNNING DOWN THE WING! SALAH LA LA LA LA! THE EGYPTIAN KING! Mo just tied it up on my replay watch.
  15. The parade scenes are incredible.
  16. Well, they had it in the opener but I thought they always replayed it during a key scene where Ethan overcomes ridiculous odds to complete the mission?
  17. Agree with Chickasaw National Recreation Area. We were driving back from a wedding in OKC yesterday and I made a point to drive down 177 from OKC to hit up that area. Then we joined back with 35 at Ardmore. It's about 30 miles north from Ardmore.
  18. Pockets of fomenting.
  19. Enjoyed it because I enjoy all of these, well maybe not 2. That said, it was kinda clunky and the script had some weird interactions and dialogue between the characters. I didn't mind the Dunlow stuff. Gabriel became even more of a moustache twirling villain in this one. COME AND GET ME, ETHAN! I found it funny that they've done so much with Tom Cruise and vehicles that fly in the air that they had to either go back to bi-planes or hot air balloons. Wife pointed out, no masks in this one and no MI theme song. And Tom, it's okay. You can kiss the girl.
  20. Watching the replay this morning on Peacock. The double guard of honor was pure class. Jurgen in the crowd hits me in the feels. He helped build this dream season. I love that he's able to soak it all in.
  21. Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through.
  22. The Last of Ellie's Poor Decisions?
