The whole Vegas poker setup seemed stupid and like wasted time. But I guess it’s just to show they will go all out to cater to the 12. I could also do without huge chunks of the show being in a foreign language with no subtitles.

World building and interesting. Obviously they are continuing to watch Carol. As mentioned, all foreign language bits had subtitles.

The absolute non giving of fricks by the French dude is annoying (and the others as well).

I think he is a representation of our base instincts. He seems to be ever so slightly getting bored with the illusion.

I can’t figure out what Hispanic storage dude is doing with the radio. Is he just checking all frequencies looking for a signal or message of some kind? I assume so but that seems like a fairly simple explanation for something they’ve shown so much…seems like it’s more important than just that.

---

He is doing exactly that. Methodically scanning the frequencies to see if he can contact anyone. Obviously it is important to the story and not just a character quirk and it basically put a flashing neon light on 8.613 with the double question marks.

I think we also learned in this episode that they aren't procreating. So, this is an extinction event. Didn't they say around 100,000 people die every day? That is lower than the figure today of 150k-170k. Obviously with no wars or crime it would be lower, but I think that also means we learn they will not procreate. Right now they have a surplus population to maintain the earth but as that population ages and declines I would expect that things will start to decay.

Other questions:

How is Paraguayan storage guy going to cross the Darian Gap without the help of the infected? Driving from Paraguay to Albuquerque in that car is going to be a bit of a task, especially if he is going to have to push start it every time.

If the infected population is trying to survive, which they are as evidenced by their hoarding every possible resource to consume, why wouldn't they take the food resources (human bodies and other food) with them when abandoned Albuquerque? That's a major town full of resources to just let waste.

Also, wouldn't Carol's rage in fact be beneficial to the infected population as a whole? It reduces the consumption of "food" while providing more "food" for the remaining population.

I think an important part of the story is Carol and Paraguay guy would know so much more about what is going on if they would simply ASK the infected questions.

Would love to see the traffic numbers for TD over the past few weeks.

Yeah, if only West Monroe had gotten him the ball more this year. The broken wrist didn't help.

Smart to show that he would still want them to win even after he left.

So you're saying we might get some ducks in Louisiana?

We have healthy populations of deer and turkey in spite of poor predator management programs in the State. In the early 90s we had 17 million folks hunting fewer public acres in La, we have over a million fewer hunters. Like an 8 percent reduction. that is over 40 million fewer tax dollars than we would have had, most of it going directly to state agencies to manage land and game

---

Maybe the decline in numbers is due to a change in the sport since the early 90s?

Now you got to be able to post your kill on social media and if a young person kills a deer he is proud of he is castigated for not letting it grow another year. I think deer hunting with drones is a poor video game and if you turn the sport into that you are going to keep losing hunters.

Dio Cassius was born 185 years or so after Cleopatra died.

I've known of a couple guys who've almost been killed loading an atv in a truck bed. I had my fair share of close calls over the years. Now that I'm older I trailer them.

I don't ride them up the ramp. I walk beside the ramp holding the throttle. Just slow constant pressure until you get the tires level. Probably not the best way either but I never trust the ramps.

Dude giving shite about oversized tractors and this mother fricker has irrigated food plots.

My initial reaction to irrigated food plots was like "oooooooooohhhhh", cause i know a guy and can get water to one of mine easily. :lol: :lol:
