Am I right in thinking it's the Sharks' destiny to see all 30 other teams (counting that imminent abomination in Las Vegas) win the Cup, all the while crashing out in the second round in increasingly brutal ways?

I would go on, but I think beema would consider it cheating.

We're pretty close to the end of the season though, right? I don't really get the sense this would be the plan, but it feels like the timing could just about work to lose him for the finale but bring him back as a recurring player next season more or less seamlessly.

Yeah, what I recall of that movie is that it's the best possible execution of a just fucking awful premise.

I'll put whatever I damn well please on your belt, and we'll both like it!

Just so this meme doesn't *completely* run away from us, I'm pretty sure the Tuesday WOT hasn't gone up more than, like, 15-20 minutes late in a good while. Which is still not cool! But leaving aside that one time I was in Belgium on my birthday and completely forgot what day of the week it was — good times, good…

Well, I did spend all day driving from northern Virginia to Bangor, Maine, so I kind of literally took the high road. Or at least the northerly one.

I mean, there's a reason I used the phrase "relative success." Making a full 22 episodes and picking up decent reviews and a few awards is pretty good going, judged against the majority of TV shows. (It's no great shakes relative to most shows we remember, of course, but those constitute the minority.)

Challenge accepted! Let's start the countdown to the ultimate Tuesday WOT headline:

Oh, it's easy! All the orderlies are super into pro wrestling. All the inmates are super into yelling at the orderlies and talking about Jeopardy results.

Aw man, this might really cut into my feudin' time with Les. Eh, screw it, I've got feud enough for two!

I mean, I don't know how seriously any of us want to engage with this, but I think there's room to say an episode doesn't work, like, holistically as well as it could while still saying individual lines are terrific. This actually feels like a real, ongoing disconnect between reviewers and readers — albeit probably…

Hey, wait, I think I just worked out why we haven't seen Roman Reigns in a while.

Oh come on, I haven't posted a review riotously, ridiculously late in … uh, let me check …

Yeah, pretty much this. That sentiment is baked into the "B" grades for the last three episodes.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Ugh, you guys…

We do! And let Alasdair Wilkins tell you all about it…
