Kyle and Kamilla made the right decision to wait to make their move. If they get to the final 6, they can make their move then by bringing in mitch and Shauheen to get out Joe and Eva. If they make their move too early, they could still be behind the numbers after.

I could see the Syril and Andor dynamic coming full circle. Syril's story started when investigating Andor. It could end with a confrontation between the two of them where Syril has to make a choice.

Is it On-3 or One with the 3 being a backwards E?

I liked these even more than the initial three. They nailed the WWII European resistance aesthetic on Ghorman. I’ll save spoiler thoughts for tomorrow.
In my head, Ghorman is Space France.
Also, I have a few questions/comments following these episodes:
1. I really hope the Ghorman guy crying at the end becomes a big part of the season, because, if he isn't, that whole scene really missed. Cinta and her girlfriend have hardly been in this season. They may have spoken 10 words between them before the 6th episode. Then, they really telegraphed Cinta dying; first by saying she would tell a story later then by reiterating over and over again that they would walk away if it seemed wrong. So, I don't really care enough about Cinta for that whole speech at the end to mean anything to me. However, if it leads to something bigger, I will say it made sense.
2. Was killing Gorst and blowing up the building at the end a rogue mission by Bix and Andor? Or was it something Luthen actually planned? Maybe I got distracted, but it seemed the second to last scene Bix and Andor were in was when he promised to take her on the next mission while looking at the flashing light. Then, they are in it. I will assume that was the mission, especially because Lommi seemed like he was immediately going to tell Luthen about Gorst moving to a new division, but it just seemed quite risky for a Luthen mission.

Neither of comments from you two are mutually exclusive. He said that talks cannot be advanced if they don't have an active submission. You said it will happen eventually. Eventually can mean 3 years from now.

I don't see how any of that makes it more appealing. If there are no starting strokes, why do we care how many make it to the weekend? What if the #1 player has a tough first two days? How does that make it better that they won't be there at the end?
Maybe I am misunderstanding. I am still holding out hope for match play.

Not to interrupt the rape food fight, but can someone tell me who the younger guy was that was talking to Luthen at the party whose parents were mixed race and exiled (I believe)? As they were talking drunk Tay almost bowls him over as he walks past him and I was wondering if it were on purpose or just to show how sloppy Tay had gotten.
I confess I was struggling to stay awake after a long day and have not had a chance to rewatch.
I took it as Luthen using his persona to get information about high ups in the empire. Then, the guy bumping into him was just an example of how this guy is messing things up for he rebellion and needs to be dealt with.

Can we discuss Kyle's revelation? What a roller coaster ride. First, he says he got into drinking at an early age. So, I figured he was going to talk about drinking in middle school or something. Then, the story jumps right into him in college getting in the usual trouble with the law; MIP, drunk in public. That somehow leads him to 2 weeks in prison? How the hell does he go to prison for 2 weeks unless he got about 10 MIPs? Then we find out he has a fiance during all this time as well.
It all just seemed like a strange story where they were just trying to fit it in to the current circumstance.

I think Eva should have taken the steal a vote instead of going for the safety. It would have been more powerful for next tribal.
It was for an extra vote, but I agree. The safety without power leaves your alliance out to dry if you have one. I do think she made the right choice not to pursue the 33% chance.
Also, I think it may have been a mistake to get David out when they did. Now, as the preview showed, it's 4 v 4. They should've gone for Mitch, then they could get David or Mary out next while maintaining the majority alliance.

David was right about all his hunches, but he just went about it in an awful way. I am also still confused on how Mary weaseled her way in with him so fast. She was his downfall. He could've rode the Eva/Joe honesty train as far as he needed, but he brought in Mary instead. It's a shame because he was quickly becoming an all-timer in challenges.

She knew her friend that helped set that up for her, because he had some puppy love feelings for her, she had to have him killed because he was weak and could expose everything
Was that what his issue was? I thought they were implying that he was mad that everyone was doing well that was involved except for him. That's why Luthen kept saying to give him the number he wants to satisfy him financially? Maybe I'm just forgetting something from season 1.

I don't think I like 3 episodes at a time for release, and it is mainly for discussion purposes. I felt like I had to avoid this thread until I watched all 3. So, most of the items from the first 2 episodes will not get discussed because most people will discuss the latest events to theorize what happens going forward.
I thought these episodes were ok, but I expect them to improve. I love Luthen doing what he has to do and building on his speech from last season by telling Mothma that she's lucky she doesn't know what he is talking about. Next scene, a member of the rebellion is driving home the risk to the operation.

No new mainline Mario or Zelda titles yet, but the Gamecube Nintendo Classics (formerly Nintendo Switch Online library) will be exclusive to the new console. That means Wind Waker, Soul Calibur and a whole host of other titles.
That's a big one for me. Wind Waker is the only console Zelda that I have not played. Thanks for clearing up.

Has Nintendo revealed plans for a new Zelda or Mario game for the Switch 2? I was excited for this, but then as I've read, it looks like the only game I would care about at release is Mario Kart and maybe Donkey Kong. It looks like BOTW and TOTK are just cleaner versions of the old ones that I don't really have to pay for. That is nice, but I don't see myself going back to those games in depth.
So, am I missing anything else that is really big at launch that relate to Nintendo's main IP? Or anything planned in 2025?

I'll chime in that after going with a cheap one when I first started walking, I realized 2 things.
1. Hand brake is such a big benefit
2. The drink holder needs to be accessible while you're walking. I didn't really think about this when purchasing my first one, but it really helps to stay hydrated when you can get to your water while walking
Another item that is not a necessity, but I think it's helpful is an attachment for holding sand. I bought an add on after the fact for this. I felt like I was doing the right thing by walking more, but I kept realizing I was leaving divots and had no way to fix them. So, I bought a bottle and clip so that I could fill it up with the course sand.

Kyle did a good job of not revealing his secret alliance, because he could have easily beaten David's argument by revealing it. I got Yoko Ono vibes from the whole situation. David just brings in a new person and says they are in the strong 6 without talking to anyone else, let's that person decide who they get out next, then calls everyone else crazy for questioning it.
Kyle could have easily asked why Mary can be in the 6 and not Kamilla (after he revealed their alliance).

Wes isn’t allowed to play because he can’t get in. That’s his fault through his play, but it’s a tough look to say “you aren’t welcome to play here, but you can’t go play there either, even though we want you to be an independent contractor”
I don't see what the big deal is then. Both parties did what they had to do for their best interests.
PGA had to suspend Wes because they can't pick and choose how they enforce their rules
Wes had to do the event because it was too financially lucrative to pass up.

Dude just made his first cut since the open last year. I am not sure there is anything he can do to get picked. I am saying this as a huge Max Homa fan.
I just looked up the standings. He is currently 23rd, but well behind Keegan at 22. However, he is still well ahead of guys that have been on USA teams recently (Ryder and Presidents) and guys you wouldn't be shocked to see on the team:
Theegala
Burns
Spieth
Cam Young
Zalatoris
I am not saying those guys are having good seasons, but he is still ahead of them. There is still a lot of time before the teams are decided. He told the NLU guys that he felt great going into the Masters, and he finished in the top 12. I hope this triggers a good run of form. I would not rule him out yet.

Rickie has no shot at making the team this year. He earned it in 2023. JT will likely make it because he will be one of the 12 best American golfers. It would not shock me if he auto qualifies. I don't want Spieth to make it, but if he is close, Keegan will likely pick him.

I used it last year when going to Sand Valley. I had them pick up my clubs for $5 rather than go out to drop them off. I packed in my usually soft case. I didn't do express because I didn't really need my clubs the weekend before. This year for Bandon Dunes, I am doing express just due to the timing of the trip. If I was to do the cheapest option, I'd have to have them picked up 2 weekends early. Our trip just happens to start on a holiday, and they don't do drop offs or pick ups on weekends. So, I paid express to get an extra weekend to play a round.
I don't have any horror stories for my one experience. It was awesome not having to lug my clubs around the airport. My clubs were waiting for me at the clubhouse. Then, we just left our clubs there when we left. If you have a tight schedule with flights, I would definitely recommend it. We had a trip one year to Scottsdale where I checked my clubs for the flight, and they didn't arrive until the end of the second day. I was pissed. Although, I did take advantage of United and got a lot of gear and merch from the proshops.
Pros: Convenience, better handling than the airport
Cons: Definitely not cheaper than checking bags. If you go the cheapest route, you can be without your clubs for a while
