This is just tangentially related, but this reminds me of when they stayed on Jericho's face too long after he put Dean's name back on the list. He had to prolong his nodding smirking thing for waaay too long to the point that it was just strange.

Now that you mention it, you're right—I'm not sure what their intention is with the Braun stuff lol.

Interesting take—I was just talking with a friend about how to "correctly" enjoy the Brokenverse, which is with tongue firmly in cheek, which is how I think you enjoyed the House of Horrors match. I think the problem is that it seems like WWE and Orton/Wyatt wanted us to take the horrors seriously, which is…not…

Please no, don't even say that, it will come true.

Sitting at work googling about Alexa's gloves and hand gestures. Whoops, guess I'm a Otto von Blissmark.

Still a great match though. : D

Watch! Watch! That was me too until about a month ago. Now I love these discussions even more.

And we're supposed to take seriously, some regulatory body that is allowing a match that no one knows anything about to happen in this era of WWE Network masquerading as ESPN. But then I guess that's partly why they took the title off of it. Also the Maharaja.

Right, because surely they're going to address the ridiculous "have to get them back to the ring somehow" thing in a creative way, but no, just a teleport!

I was really hoping he would be broken from the post-match beating at Payback, but alas. I imagine it would take more than that. I'd take anything at this point, even some Itchweed…

Did you catch that weird spot where Bayley hits a shoulder to a cornered Bliss, backflips, does her inflatable taunt and then…runs up and awkwardly pulls Bliss toward her for a suplex? I wonder what was supposed to happen there or maybe I'm wrong.

The entry claims it has been a word since the mid 1800s I believe. I know, it's horrible!

Ditto. I really hate "eater of worlds" too. I mean…what?

I was saddened to find out that irregardless is actually a legit word: https://www.merriam-webster….

But really, I'm not just being snarky (although I'm getting the feeling I should avoid Alston "reviews"). Isn't this "review" about 90% summary? I don't read reviews to find out what happened on the show. I already know that. So hard to find good analysis these days apparently (well, from any other writer on the site…

I didn't enjoy this one. To me it seems that both his movies bite off more than they can chew (compelling seed ideas, both, really) and then attempt to obfuscate as opposed to extrapolate. In the world of this movie, my afterlife will be an infinite loop of my deciding not to watch this movie.

Thank you thank you for some much needed balance.

With all due respect, it seems like you've decided to dislike this season and are just attempting to fit each new episode into the pre-constructed matrix of why the season is bad. I do understand where you're coming from, but isn't there a point at which you could acclimate yourself to the bounds of this season and…

Probably not, seeing as how with all due respect, the writer needed to be explicitly told by Saul in the next episode, what the significance of the cigarettes in this episode was. Which is I guess not too surprising in light of the constant wish-parisons to such high quality fare as 24…

So…that wasn't just any "Iranian contact"…
I for one thought it was great to see Javadi again.
