Me and you both, she must be a good actress because I struggled to finish it because of her. I much prefer season one over season two.

Honestly, I don’t know. I do know that people are and have been making money off of minors and with what’s happening in college athletics it will only get worse.

That’s what I figured he would look like. I just don’t understand throwing your life away and then threatening the victim because of a grade you provided. I know it’s not possible to weed out everyone but these teachers, men and women that do this are mentally broken way before they act on it.

About the only positive thing I can say about the Rouse’s that replaced our Winn Dixie earlier this year is zero self checkouts.

The head coach of the team even has partnered with a local select organization that charges $4k per season per player as sort of a funnel into the high school program.

If it’s public school, that shouldn’t be allowed by looking the other way.

I miss our Winn Dixie, I haven’t been very impressed with Rouse’s. People on here said Rouse’s stores vary from location to location and they were right. I didn’t realize how good we had it with our Winn Dixie.

I know we watched the first season but I don’t really remember anything, it came out in April of 23. 3 years is just too long between seasons for most people to keep any interest.

It’s hard to go wrong in that part of the country. We went out there last October for the first time and it’s just a completely different world than Louisiana, especially for people that had never been that far out West.

Should I watch season 4 before the prequel episode Gary?

I don’t think it matters, but IMO the prequel episode is better than just about all of season 4.

funny how the animated show is far more mature than anything live short of Andor.

The consequences of a battle actually matter in this, it’s probably the first time I saw a head shot through the eye in Star Wars. Call it morbid if you want, but knowing the death really happened on screen makes a difference.

I’ve been wanting to watch it, but the almost 3 hour run time is a little long.

Wonder if this was a gang shooting? Seems that's what they attribute it all to anyway. Even when the victims aren't gang members. And it happens in a big mall not in the ghetto.

That’s what happens when it’s usually fatherless thugs doing the killing. The culture is broken, it started long before a lot of us were born, and it was done on purpose.

Thanks for the heads up, definitely watching this.

Just finished it, Bernthal is great. The pain in his eyes in one scene definitely plays into what happens down the road.

If it smells and looks ok after thawing it’s probably fine, even being Tyson.

Episode 9 is badass, especially the big battle. Top tier Star Wars animation.

Episode 10 is even better, this is IMO not far below Andor in terms of Disney and Star Wars.
