In 2018, LSU played its bowl game with a wide receiver starting at CB.

It can be done, aggy just didn't want the L.

I simply saying in the aftermath the federal government used the opportunity to greatly assert their powers over states rights and perhaps that was a predictable result but it's true nevertheless.

That's a better word.

There's a difference between federal power and executive power, and over the last few decades, congress has been happy to cede more and more power to the executive.

By that logic LeMay, Spaatz, the crew of the Enola Gay, and the crews of all the B-17s and B-29s that bombed Germany and Japan are right there with them.

Question for the book readers, why is the reporter still around?

She was a secondary character in book 3, but I don't recall her being in the story after that.

I don't mind her. I think she's been well used as a plot driver since then.

A couple things are bothering me about this season that have been touched on.

Michio Pa was a major secondary character that even had some of her own POV chapters. Now, they've robbed from her story and others to create the amalgamation we know as Drummer, and Drummer is great, but the shows version of Pa is an insult. She was a badass in the book. I'd be fine now if they had left her out entirely.

The relationship that Naomi and Holden have with Clarissa Mao is botched. I don't know if they were trying to give Naomi more depth or more empowerment, but she never had a problem with Peaches. She basically told Jim to nut up and get over it. He was the one that was furious over it.

That alteration created a problem in the last episode. The scene where Clarissa saved Bobby's life - a very similar scene did occur, but Jim saved Clarissa after she got in trouble. That leads us to the limp-dicked scene where Jim "chewed her out".

That didn't happen. After action in the book, Jim went to Clarissa and told her that it was his fault in the first place that she was even in danger. He knew that she had no zero g combat training and didn't have the experience to handle the situation that he put her in. He told her that he was done icing her out, and that if she was going to be on his ship, he would train her.

I'm just not sure why the authors are going along with this. They have almost as much control over this universe as the Tolkien family does over his work.
