But that's not how she died in what we were shown. Eleanor kneels pick up the bottle, but what actually hits her is when the shopping carts get loose and hit her. Besides, there were no signs of Real Eleanor, who was supposed to be there when Fake Eleanor died.

No, the Medium Place was real. Remember, Michael stole Janet, but couldn't control her, so he couldn't have made that place up. Especially since Janet was never supposed to fall in love with Jason.

True and, as you mentioned in another comment, before I was dismissing it as sitcom trope, now I'm also hesitating on it. Although to be fiar, another reason for it is that I desperately want them to avoid Eleanor/Chidi pairing as that would just be so lazy.

As great as this episode was, both of the most humerous moments for me involved Tahani. First was the magazine cover which read 'Tahani Al-Jamil: Not just Kamilah's sister'. The second was when we found out that her idea of Hell was second-hand clothing and tap water. And that should have really made clear to me that…

I don't think so as Shaun told Michael that this was his last chance.

There were, by the way, two really big clues in this episode about the twist before it happened which I just found odd when they happened, but in retrospect were just so great. The first was that when they showed us how Eleanor actually died, it didn't fit at all with what Michael had told her of her death. The second…

That twist was superb and I loved how everything I had previously shrugged off as sitcom cliche made sense. Of course the other 'good' people felt bland while finding that stupid joke hilarious, they had no idea what it meant to be human. This was some other level writing here.

But wasn't there a scene where she thought she saw the ghost of him and called him her love? And I have no problems with Ragnar being her great love, the narrative choices here just confuse me.

I only follow this series half-heartedly so I need to check something. Is the Lagertha/Astrid relationship as weird as it keeps coming across in what I've seen and read from this reviews? And with weird I don't mean in an intriguing storyline way, but rather that I don't understand it.

There were two segments on this episode of Raw that I thought suffered from really weird pacing issues. First was the Nattie/Nikki confrontation, which on paper seemed good as having the fight spill to the hallways was good in theory, but in execution they had Nattie tell Nikki to watch the big screen, but then had…

I'm really looking forward to the Elimination Chamber match as it has always has had a special place in my heart even if the last one was a bit stumbling, blessed be Bischoff for introducing it. It is also going to be interesting as it will tie up almost all of Smackdown's top male talent so it should give the…

Even if according to live reports I've seen the crowd was more invested than came across the screen, I kind of have to be with the crowd on this one. That was probably the dullest Smackdown I've seen in ages where I got why everything was happening, but there were these baffling decisions in execution. From Cena's…

I hated that finish so much. I mean everyone expected Mickie, sorry La
Luchadora, to interfere in the match and that always happens with
matches like and that is fine. But that was just so insanely lazy to the point that the cage itself felt like it wasn't even there.

This is just speculation, but I think the original plan was to Charlotte to read some of the poems in a mocking fashion. Which again, in theory, is sound. However, I'm thinking they didn't do a test run of it and when they finally did the actual segment, Charlotte simply couldn't make sense of Bayley's handwriting at…

And as a concept it sounds great. Charlotte mocking the young girl Bayley for being a wrestling fan, thus making her a symbol for that audience. That is really smart in its simplicity. Just that execution.

That Charlotte/Bayley was baffling to me to the degree that I am struggling with it. It was probably Charlotte's worst promo since turning heel, but the very structure of the segment was so absurd that I don't know how to really assign fault in that segment. It started well, but then the photographs came out with the…

They ran a pretty good video package for him around mid-show.

I was surprised how good that final six man tag match was, especially the final stretch. But then the aftermatch struggle happened without the commentary and that just took it to new levels as there was this constant uncertainty what was happening and who was going to stand tall at the end.

I actually really liked the finish as it was an accidental finish, but it now gives the Club something to react to. I don't recall who it was who said it, but someone explained that good heels can take situations where they are in the right and still have the crowd boo them by overreacting to them.

That Neville beatdown was a thing of beauty due to so many details. The fact that they started it during the video package made it feel actually surprising, but the best part was when Nese joined on beating down Swann and Neville just threw him out because he does not need others.
