Ryker is w/o question the worst member of the group. I'm not sure how you can even argue otherwise when they have had to redo finishes to his matches a couple of times at least.

To be fair I was multitasking with other things at the time so I didn't notice any particular drag. Really though how much of this is the match truly dragging, and how much of it is you not giving a damn about the Forgotten Sons? Blake and Cutler have been a solid team and are usually presented as a decent threat. Yet you compare them to the Conquistadors. That just isn't sensible.

Becky/Rhea was nice while it lasted and definitely one of Rhea's netter performances. The Ricochet attack leading to Ricochet/Riddle leading to a post match brawl with Nakamura, Cesaro, Strong, and Finn was all fun, but maybe should have been saved for later in the night coming off of Rhea and Becky defending against the Horsewomen. Revival/ReDragon was unsurprisingly great. It was nice seeing the Revival get a good showcase again. KLR/Kai was solid. The post match brand brawl was decent enough. They highlight was easily Kairi & Io seeing each other again and their reactions. Viking Raiders vs. Forgotten Sons was solid. I kind of love that Forgotten Sons are hated so much that none of the NXT fans can bring themselves to cheer for them over the Raw/Smackdown invaders. I paid little attention to Cole/Dijakovic since it seemed to be about hat I expected with Dijakovic bumping around ridiculously for a guy who was a foot smaller and likely weighed 70+ pounds less. The post match brawl was way the hell better than what we got on Raw. Seth was the biggest heel on the enter show, and I dug the faceoff with Ciampa at the end. Won't happen but I really do kind of want Seth to join NXT at SS. You could go the route of him coming into NXT as the biggest heel on the roster or having HHH bs Rollins and leave him to Raw anyways with Seth being hated there for his betrayal.

They have overdone the sneak attacks. Its become predictable. They needed to do more official challenges instead.

AEW and Paul Heyman?

Oh I know. The overshield was too much. I'm not all that bothered by the health regeneration. I just know there have been way too many times I could have easily taken out Titans if they didn't have a damn overshield.

I like the idea of The Killing Joke more than the actual story. Something about it just did not work for me when I read it earlier in the decade.

This is the one that pleases me. I'm not sure why it took so long.

The added depth to the academy situation was nice and a bit understandable. Still glad they are seemingly over with that drama and hope they stick with it. I love how Lena keeps saying she is not a villain. You can tell a part of knows she is going too far, but she is also too far gone to be able to pull herself back. I like that her anger is justified taking into her account her history from before National City and how Kara screwed up so bad taking too long to tell her the truth. When Lena learned it left her with no one to really turn to since it was a secret literally all of her other friends were keeping from her. There is a sympathy its impossible not to have for Lena. Its just that her anger is also being channeled in one of the worst ways possible and turning her into the thing she wants to be the least in life.

The thing is she would have had to have been cleared by the doctors for the Smackdown tag in the first place. She also wasn't hidden away in that match.

Oh I can agree with pretty much all of this. Roaming supers are still an annoyance, but definitely less of one since armor 2.0 I've found myself defending against them a lot better, especially after I got Luna Howl. I run with Shadowshot most of the time. As long as I can see someone before they get too close I can usually counter with that and keep them chained up along with shutting down their super.

Dug AOP taking out Hawkins and Ryder. Kind of hope we see the do that to anyone trying to challenge for the tag belt before them. Shit I hope they go into SS and kick every tag teams' ass during the triple threat. Tozawa/Buddy was so good. Owens/Drew was good until the HHH interruption. I see no reason why Owens couldn't win the damn match before that. I did like HHH trying to convince Owens to join up just like he did with Seth. I also loved that UE clearly said fuck it and went after Owens to make sure their spots in NXT stay secure. You could clearly see them and HHH at odds. It won;'happen, but I would love to see Seth turn on Team Raw during SS and Owens get slotted into Seth's hero spot on Raw. Owens is more over anyways. Asuka/Nattie was pretty nice while it lasted. I ff through the final brawl. It just seemed like chaotic mess and not a super entertaining one. There is a such thing as too much even with brawls like this. Joe on commentary was wonderful. I would not mind seeing him show up again there.

All good advice. I do wonder if they might do a nerf to spectacle blades at some point for that one. That is easily the most dangerous super in it. I also wish they would alter the invisibility a tad for normal nightstakers. The actual advantage with it was disappearing off of radar. We were otherwise seen rather easily. Would be nice to get something close to what Spectacle blades has, especially since its infinitely shorter in comparison.

It was ok. While it was nice to get more info on the parents, I thought they ended up taking too much time away from the kids. I preferred the comic. Still haven't even finished the second season.

I'm trying to finish up the last one for Vanguard right now. I'm torn. I worked hard to get the Recluse and don't really use it in PvP. On the other hand its still one of the biggest annoyances PvP so I can't really complain much about a much needed nerf coming. I just wish it was PvP focused. Finally tried Momentum Control. I don't like it. Scout Rifles aside from Jade Rabbit still feel about the same with ttk. I do kind of like the lack of radar. It makes for interesting situations.

I'm surprised there is any talk of Yim being replaced still considering she worked the 8-women tag on Smackdown last Friday.

Looks like the old flame drama in Batwoman might finally be done with for a while. I really just don't care at all for Sophie. Was nice to see Julia Pennyworth. Not sure I like them making her another old flame for Kate though they kind hinted to some chemistry in the comics even if they never pushed forward on it. Wonder how much they plan to pull from the Bennett run of Batwoman. It wasn't a particularly good run so hopefully they change things up a decent amount. Supergirl was good. J'onn's scenes dealing with his brother and how to reconcile with him were nice. The Leviathan stuff was interesting enough though probably the weakest part this week. The highlight was easily Lena finally revealing herself to Kara. That was a wonderful scene that made you feel for both a good deal.

This saddens me. Was really looking forward tot this one.

I'm kind of surprised by that. The Fiend right now is in pure movie monster/spectacle phase so I wouldn't really expect a good match or anything.

I want to run the Pit more just to try another dungeon. I've only really completed Shattered Throne so far. I died horribly when going for Whisper since i couldn't make the jump section and I didn't even both with that one for the pulse rifle with SIVA particles. Honestly, I sort of hate puzzles so the stuff for Xenophage kind of annoys the crap out of me even though I find it more doable than some of the other shit like raids and whatnot. I will probably go for it in the end for the same reason as you. I want it out of my queue. At some point I may breakdown and hit up LFG for people to Sherpa me through Leviathan for the same reason with Rat King.

I've only done one thing today which was a run of Haunted forest o finish up today's Banshee bounties. Not sure what happened, but hell froze over and somehow I managed to clear 9 waves with the two randoms I played with. Think I'm done with all of the Festival triumphs with that out of the way. Kind of annoyed that the pinnacle gear I picked up was another heavy weapon so no continued slow increase my max level this time around sadly. Reminds me that I really need to run Pit of Heresy sometime in the next day or two.

Somehow this isn't super surprising. Didn't they end up changing quite a bit of the story once they took Nomura off to focus on KH III and FFVII Remake? Ah, Xenogears, I'm still disappointed that was never completed in its original form or the redux attempt with Xenosaga.

I kind of skipped ff through the half of the Corbin opening. I like Corbin, but why they are giving a guy they admit lost them ratings so much time to speak along with freaking Ziggler I have no idea. New Day vs. Revival was good until the predictable UE run in. Bayley/Nikki turning into an NXT Women's invasion along with the subsequent 8-women tag was nice stuff all around. Kind of shocked Yim was wrestling another match already considering her injuries from Wednesday. The Miz tv segment was good. I kind of love how Bryan is refusing to fall into old gimmicks right now. I love Bray implying Bryan is the Fiend's new target because of what happened with the Wyatt Family years ago. I like the trend of the Fiend goign after everyone who ever crossed Bray. I kind of want Fiend to destroy Taker at some point.

Is it weird that I actually think it looks better with the blue strap?

Black Adam's character arc from JSA to 52 was fantastic.
