Didn't know about Part 1 until playing part 2 during covid. Been trying to play Part 1 as the series as gone on..
Fell just short for this episode. Stuck in the hospital about 3 sequences of hallways to clear in. Just over half health with not enough supplies for a med pack... And they have machine guns.

The Last of Us was great, well made show. Great to have The Mandalorian back too.


Really enjoying Your Honour and Carnival Row as well.

The second one being called Part 2 didn't tip you off?

Mandalorian falling flat for me this season. If Your Honour was good I'll go back to it, ditched it after the first ep of S2.

While i didnt think they needed to make another season i have been enjoying it.

Great work by the Bank of England and Jeremy Hunt to secure the purchase of Silicon Valley UK Bank by HSBC with great speed. The banking system and tech sector could have collapsed overnight.

Worrying times with two banks in the US falling over. They need to avoid a run on bank deposits or we are at the start of another global financial crisis but worse. There is a worrying amount of MBS investments by US investment banks at the moment.

FTFY.

Was it as much of a struggle as

Spoiler

The tunnel infected/bloaters? I wish that made it into the episode. Although I can understand why it didn’t, how would live action Joel take down 2 bloaters and a bunch of infected? So can understand why they shied away from it.

Yeah I binged it in a day or so.

Was certainly different but I think the show needed that.

Not sure where it goes to from there though.

Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 1 just dropped on Apple TV. Good to have it back.

Looks like the latest financial crisis has well and truly started.



If Credit Suisse falls, this will be worse than 2008 imo.

 

[Jatz]

Why are these banks falling now?

Credit Suisse isn't failing

 

[Frank Bunn]

Credit Suisse isn't failing

The Saudi National Bank said it's not putting any more money in to prop it up.

Apart from the - corporate espionage, sanctions busting, money laundering, tax evasion, defrauding investors, serving clients involved in torture, drug trafficking, corruption and other serious crimes - Credit Suisse is a highly reputable bank!

A string of controversies have beset Switzerland’s second-largest lender, including Japanese ‘shredding party’ and US sub-prime fraud

Yep. But sadly, there's so many of these 'couples' on this board which can make some threads unreadable.

If I wasn’t one of them, I would be irritated.

 

[Jatz]

I'll start with a few.

Maybe we need a couples thread that we can move all their lovers tiffs to?
