so far my favorite part is a 3-4ish month old baby manages to not make a peep while sleeping through the entire night, while there is a big barking dog, 2 dressed up visitors using the doorbell more than once, and a badly beat up dude stumbling around the house, .... not one of those things managed to wake up a 3 month old.

My wife and I are gigantic fans of FNL the film and series. I’ve enjoyed the vibe of the last 2 episodes. I think Sheridan is pulling on those heart strings, and I’m fine with it.

I’ll give him credit for focusing on the vibe instead of Billy Bob and Jon Hamm defeating the Big Bad like the first 4 seasons of Yellowstone. 
 

But yes, there are plenty of No Notes Sheridan plot hole to point at. I think there are 2 kinds of viewers. The Chris Ryan viewer that is riding with Sheridan all the way to the train station. And the Andy Greenwald viewer that hate watches to point out the absurdity of Sheridan’s writing.

Sheridan needs a fucking reality handling assistant. 

Last episode:

"We have a special on Bud Light. They match me the price in a bonus"

"We're working. Just bring us a pitcher of Ultra"

Ultra and Bud Light have the same ABV of 4.2%. 

And before anyone says they're carb counting, they all ordered CFS with mashed potatoes and fries.

The reason they didn’t want Bud Light has nothing to do with calories or alcohol content. 
 

To me the show is starting to lose its momentum. Yay, hot chicks, but that’s about it.

I'm sure there's still a bias against Bud Light out there, but what BBT said was "We're working, just bring us Ultra" as if Bud Light was gonna get them drunk, but Ultra was basically water. 

There were multiple scenes in previous episodes where BBT explains why he only drinks Ultra...unaware there are plenty of other beers with the same ABV, like Miller Lite and Bud Light.

BBT's character is written as a sharp, well rounded fountain of knowledge who would know Ultra/Bud Light have the same ABV and the same owners.

A reality assistant could help point these things out to Sheridan, who doesn't appear to do any fact checking.

Or maybe AB is giving him a shitload of money for product placement. Nobody mentions Miller or Coors. Show me an oilfield where they don't have Coors or Miller. They don't exist.

It’s humor. He’s said multiple time that he doesn’t drink any more. Just Ultra. 
 

Or maybe I’m being trolled. 😆

Knowing zip about the o&g industry, it would be interesting to know what some of the pano shots are of. Like the giant plume of fire in the aerial shot right after BBT breaks up the pickup truck jerkoff session. 

That's called a flare. It burns off waste gasses. The rigs you see in the city shots are "stacked" or being repaired in the yard.

To piggyback on what RPM said, flaring sucks. My FIL’s place in Glasscock County had a pretty nice breeze at night until they turned the area into Saudi Arabia. Pretty bad light pollution too. 
 

If you’re ever in a position to sign a lease, make sure you’re getting paid on flared gas. Many folks with older leases are not.

I think I’m safe on my one acre in Alpharetta, GA. The most natural resource inquiries I ever get is the local plumber’s assistant asking if he can bow hunt in my backyard.
