I think they can work with it given the weird (intentionally flexible) mythology of how that virus works.

That wasn’t my impression. With the exception of a few characters—Lacey, Babcock, Carter—everyone was pretty much who you’d expect them to be doing pretty much what they would be doing under the main premise of it to make sense.

I didn’t like the second and third books as much, but the first was pretty satisfying. But the world building in the novels was pretty quality which helps translate it to TV.

I can’t argue with the plot holes. A lot of that was some messy business.

And one of the worries I had is that I didn’t want to spend this much time in this part of the story. I think the other parts would translate way better.

It is long past its prime for sure. There are sooooo many better options.

I have native San Antonian cred. We all know it’s true.

City Center is dumb and a waste of space. 

If I go to the River Walk, it’s not to the downtown area. The outskirts can be cool though even if kind of boring. 

I know. DISAPPOINTED.

The food is way more diverse than people think. 

That’s probably the best spot to be immersed since it’s the oldest. You know where there’s some interesting historical stuff? That area that’s kind of northeast Petworth going into Brightwood and Fort Totten. I had no idea all that was up there until I moved into the area.

Their cornbread is an obscene violation of all that is good in this world.

Also, in a potentially controversial move, I’m calling out the Alamo in San Antonio. The other missions are cooler and way less crowded. I’d throw in the River Walk, but I quite like the parts that aren’t right in the downtown tourist area. And even that part has its appeal. 

I don’t even know what the new name of the Verizon/MCI Center is.

Yes to both of those. Love the Portrait Gallery. There is always something interesting going on there. I always get the Wharf and Waterfront confused...

I like the Highline but only a week day morning when no one is there. Then there’s actually room to breathe to appreciate it. But yeah, it’s not great when it’s crowded.

That Peabody library is so amazing as is the Visionary Art Museum (but it is pricey). And agreed about the Inner Harbor. Ugh.

The Renwick is great too. And the Portrait Gallery & American Art Museum are my fave.

It’s a pretty retched place. I will admit that Tudor House is nice though but nobody really knows its there so I never see tourists. They’ve got an ace gift shop.
