I still wish they would have figured out a way to get a real movie made with Nathan Fillion. They modeled Drake on him for Uncharted 3 and 4.

Plus, the little fan film he did was awesome

No surprise. You can tell Netflix gave up on the show before S2 when they slashed the budget to a fraction of what S1 got. This was the logical next step.

I still enjoyed S2, but it's obvioys they had a lot less to work with.

Finished it Friday.

I enjoyed it but you can tell the producers were asked to do more with less. This season reeked of budget cuts. All of the episodes were shorter than last season and they only produced eight episodes as compared to ten.

Even then, the sets were all considerably smaller and less intricate. Two full episodes take place out in the woods, away from the interesting world they've built throughout the story. The cast was a lot smaller too with fewer side characters.

I enjoyed the story and thought Anthony Mackie made a good Tak, but if they bring this back for season 3 they have to increase the budget and swing for the fences again.

The Zephyr was also the name of the big ride at NOLA’s Pontchartrain Beach amusement park

A park that has been closed for 35 years. Zephyrs was still a horrible name for a franchise in New Orleans. The fans making it sound like it's some deep cut local reference doesn't validate it.

Babycakes isn't a good name by any stretch of the imagination, but it's an improvement on Zephyrs.

Didnt they go out of business?

Nope, in fact their business has boomed since. Turns out having an angry mob of out of towners threatening a business is a good way to drum up a lot of support from the locals.

I was going current. Lifetime I think E would be a 1 seed himself.

But he got disbarred and now is down around like 7-8 seed area.

He's Indiana, essentially.

Uhh.. The Trump administration has warned there would be "severe punishment" for the act.

So... he's gonna go against his friends in high places?

What’s the reason?

The Saudi royal family ordered the death and dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist who had been critical of them. Pretty big human rights snafu that's boiling into a full scale foreign policy disaster for the Saudis.

For a company that waves the American flag as much as they do, it seems pretty hollow for them to do this show in Saudi under the circumstances.

I do love how both main characters essentially end up with the wrong significant other in each other at the end.

Does TuneSquad get swept by the Warriors in this one?

"What day of the week does Thanksgiving fall on this year?"

I legit didn't think Virgil could unseat Nunez, but he's been putting on a show thus far. This offense looks plenty badass with both of them on the field at once.

We got close last year in Lafayette, let's finish it this time! Lion Up!

to add on to this, he really only kept the best players from that team. He didn't include the scrubs like the main character from Heavyweights or the figure skating twins.

True. Jesse made the Goodwill Games team but his brother didn't... He was never heard from again.

“We’re the third largest university in the state, only 500 (students) behind UL. We’re going to try to catch ’em,” he stated with a chuckle. “There’s loyalty here. There is passion in the town for (SLU). That is truly a university town. When you drive through town, you see SLU flags, stickers, posters all over the place. You don’t see that in a lot of big town teams. You see that in Hammond, America, which is pretty special.”

This is almost word-for-word a talking point that athletic director Jay Artigues has been pushing for years. Basically, "We're the third largest school in the state, let's start acting like it."

I'm all for it, baseball and football attendance are strong footholds for the program to build itself up from. Basketball has been in an attendance rut for years now, getting that number up will be the challenge. Basketball even had their best team since '05 last season, and attendance still sucked.

It all sounds great but it's something that has to be built over time. SLU has carved out a nice little slice for itself in an overcrowded football market here in Louisiana.





And I see SLU stickers and license plates all the time on I-12... Not sure what yall are talking about. The same ones dogging the program are the ones unaware anything outside of LSU exists in this state.
