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.

re: Altered Carbon season 2 on the 27th

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.

You're missing a few

1. "The Balk" - The two leads almost kiss but are interrupted (phone rings/kid barges in/etc)

2. "The Big Misunderstanding" - One of the lead characters is having lunch with a sibling, other lead sees from afar and assumes it's a date and gets jealous. Or lead male is wearing a wedding ring, lead female sees it and assumes he's married and storms off, not realizing he's a widower. Stuff like that... which leads to...

3. "The Dead Loved One(s)" - Every movie, one of the leads will have some superhero-esque backstory with a dead wife/husband/parents/sibling that caused massive amounts of emotional scarring.

I swear there's just some computer program that writes these scripts. They all have the exact same formula with the same plot points. That being said, they are so gooddamn wholesome I can't stop watching.

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.

Not at all. His time with the Oilers and Vikes was incredibly forgettable.

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.

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 may actually tune in tonight just for the crowd.

They have to be discussing cancelling Crown Jewel. Wonder how the crowd will address it for them during the live show.
