Been catching up to the last year or two of Detective Comics I've had sitting on my shelf. The Tamaki run ended on a bit of a whimper, nut it was always a bit forgettable if I'm being honest. Not terrible but little noteworthy either. Ram V's Orgham story is a noticeable improvement though I wish Detective would be more one-off and min-arcs focused on various characters opposed to one big story.

Triple threat tag was good. Happy Axiom/Frazer won. The rematch with WolfDogs has great potential. Hope it delivers. Fallon/Jacy was fine while it lasted. Mostly served as a nice win for Jayne andfinal setup for the 6-women tag for S&D. King/Wagner was alright. Lola/Karmen was decent. Thought this was probably Karmen's best showing yet though I'm still not really interested in her as a character. Supernova Sessions didn't offer much at first glance with Lyra's points against Roxanne still not really hitting home, but the backstage segment between Lyra and Tatum kind of brought it all together with Lyra clearly being frustrated and pushed to a breaking point by the situation. Kind of hope a double turn is somehow pulled. Oba/Gacy was fine. Did its job in Oba looking strong and setting up Gacy/Spears. Arianna/Wren was solid. The two meshed together well, and Wren look to be coming along well as a "rookie." Sol/Blair was pretty solid and a good showcase for Ruca. Was surprised to see how much she dominated early on. The leg work from Blair to hold Ruca down was nice alongside Ruca's gradual comeback. Still was surprised to see Ruca win though the flash pin makes me think they run it back sometime soon. Sol Ruca would be a good challenger for whoever comes out of S&D as women's champ. The final Trick/Melo segment was good even ending on the expected big brawl. Solid go home for Stand & Deliver even if it could have delivered more match wise outside of the opening triple threat tag. That match was good and easily MOTN. I did enjoy how much focus the women's division took up both in and out of the ring.

Finally caught Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire for my older brother's birthday. We all seemed to enjoy it a decent bit. I thought it was better than Afterlife. I dug the family dynamic and thought Phoebe had more to her personality and character this time around. Was nice to see Winston and Ray bring more to the table as well. Wouldn't mind seeing another with this crew.

30th Anniversary was mostly new content including a new dungeon but cost not only money, but I would argue too much money for just a dungeon. The loot was good at the time, but they were made kind of moot (sans Ghally) just a few months later with Witch Queen adding weapon crafting and origin traits. The dungeon weapons still haven't been updated two years later. Into the Light has two new activities that are seemingly repurposing old areas but not to the level of what we see in say Battlegrounds. The loot looks fantastic though its all returning weapons. ITL mostly feels like Bungie trying to make good on a promise made back when they did sunsetting of how things would eventually return and be better when they did. The weapons and returning exotic missions all feel like this. With the horde mode we are also at least a getting something long requested as well. Will actually have to play to have a true answer, but I think into the Light will at least be a solid update and a worthwhile way to kill time for the next couple of months before The Final Shape. Right now I think the updates look about even. ITL would probably look more favorable if Bungie was in a better position, but its hard to get excited with everything that has gone down the past year. Still it leaves me with more positive leaning vibes than I had just a couple of months ago.

Said timer will be 20 in Legend mode. The new PvP maps look good. Pantheon being about Raid boss fights was unexpected. I wonder if it will includes bosses from sunset raids.

Opening Bloodline segment was long but good in setting up the main event. New Day/DIY vs. Judgement Day was solid fun. Went quicker than expected and had an unfortunate lack of R-Truth. Enjoyable enough though I was hoping for something more. Sami/Bronson was good once again though it had a non-finish. I would be more disappointed, but I enjoyed Gunther getting some nice heat for Sami's beatdown alongside Samis rise up attempt. I don't want Sami to win, but I'm not sure I would hate it either with how things have built up. Hoping Gunther has to choke him out to put him down. Ivy/Maxxine vs. Indi/Candice was surprisingly alright, probably the best Maxxine ha slooked. Still it served mostly as another story moving component to heel Candice. Will be interesting to see if Indi turns with her after this loss or goes another direction. Ricochet/Ivar was damn fine match as expected. This was easily the hottest match tonight and a great showcase for both guys. The Drew eulogy for Seth was good. The Becky/Rhea brawl wasn't anything we haven't seen before, but it still served as a solid final moment before their WM match. Damage CTRL vs. Shayna/Zoey/Tegan was fun and a solid showcase for Tegan & Zoey before the end. Seth/Solo was good, but the non-finish with Rock and Roman somehow was even better. They blasted the shit out of Seth and Cody with the belt shots. Was a great heel heat segment for the Bloodline. Was also nice to see Rock get a little physical and take some hits from Cody before the rebound with Roman's surprise return. The tag matches were decent-solid though could have been more. The singles matches here were all good despite two non-finishes. Two non-finishes would annoy me more, but I feel I can forgive it a bit more than usual as the final build up to Wrestlemania. They also both served well as heel heat segments. Pretty solid Raw overall.

KO/Orton vs. Pretty Deadly was fun while it lasted. The Logan Paul interference was well done and i was a bit amused by the post match shenanigans. Street Profits vs. Waller/Theory was solid up until the distraction finish. The post match beatdown by Final Testament did work out well. Legado vs. LWO turning into Rey/Dragon vs. Santos/Dom for Wrestlemania is just a tad disappointing though I kind of get it with another big faction vs. faction match likely happening. The match should still be a fun and a great way to showcase Dragon Lee in front of a big audience. Dunne/Bate vs. Angel/Humberto was good fun as expected. Glad NCR won. Bianca/Dakota was good. Wa snice to see Dakota get to show off in the main event. The post match with Damage Ctrl beating down Bianca and Naomi before the big save by Jade was good. Jade continues to look like a star. No great matches though everything was enjoyable with bianca/Dakota being a nice standout. The segments were solid and did a nice job of continuing the build for Wrestlemania. Pretty solid show. They are former NXT and NXTUK tag champs. They are a pretty good team, but have relied on character so far on the main roster since it gets them more tv time. I think they would be better off if the tag titles were on an actual tag team, but there has been a focus on keeping them on major factions or special teams the past two years. They aren't the only team getting underserved by this. Hopefully things change post Wrestlemania.

Their powers are more or less the same although Mystique heals faster and can likely live longer via deaging herself (she is 100+ like Logan). Basically she is a lot more skilled, and Morph's abilities may just not be able to reach as far in general.

Because my dad decided to randomly delete my set recording I missed the first 2/3 of NXT and waited until today to catch the stream and what I got on my DVR. Dijak/Spears was solid though it felt weird seeing Dijak bust out the flying for a guy of Spear's size and caliber. He also seemed to fuck up Spear's knee on that first dive. I hope Dijak is smarter about picking his moments for this stuff in the future. Thea/Jazmyn was pretty decent with Nyx mostly handling herself well and getting in a decent showcase. Dug the post match brawl with Jacy, Izzi, Kiana, Kelani, and Fallon. Hope whatever big tag is getting built happens at Stand & Deliver. The women earned the spot with the work everyone has put into the division the past year. Lola/Nattie was mostly solid outside a few awkward pauses that I assume comes from two people not being used to each other. Don't dislike the idea of Nattie back in NXT. Always thought she moved on too soon during her last visit. Ilja/Stacks was good fun. Kind of like Stacks' goal mainly being there to maim Ilja and add a weak point for Tony to attack in the coming title match. Briggs/Duke was another solid match though I wish Duke had won. Briggs still does little for me and feels like he would be better cast as a heel. I did like Oba announcing the NA title match a triple threat. Femi feels like the exact type who would welcome the challenge opposed to usual champ being pissed over it. The Roxanne & Trick/Melo vids were great and did a fine job of building their respective matches. Lyra's vid was less good. It wasn't bad, but it continues to push how out of place Lyra feels as a face. Lyra came across as pretty damn arrogant in her vid, especially as she tried to paint her situation as black and white when Roxanne rightly called Lyra out for dodging a proper defense against her after Vengeance Day. Roxanne had lyra beat twice that night and was blatantly screwed both times. As much as Roxanne is killing it as a heel I do still think they would have been smarter to turn Lyra instead. Could have easily had her manipulating Tatum. WolfDogs vs. Alpha Academy was damn good stuff as expected and MOTN. Still amazes how well Corbin and Bron mesh as a a team and personalities in general. Enjoyable matches and segments with some standouts in the promo vids for S&D and the main event. Good show.

I am. Haven't caught this week's episode, but I've been digging it so far.

Latest Invincible episode was good. I forgot Anissa came in that early. Wasn't expecting her until the war. I love that they adapted the comic con panels joke to animation. It was done so perfectly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelyne_Pryor Its Goblin Queen.

Hunters won Guardian Games by one silver medal. All three classes tied for gold medals. Warlocks turning on Titans in that final week worked in Hunters' favors.

Was never big on the Maddie story though I did enjoy what they generally did here. It did feel weird though to see Morph change into Ilyana/Magik since I think she was still a young girl in the 90s show when Colusss showed up.

And to think Datto just got Cross to clean some of his vault via gameshow. Finished up the stream. For all intents and purposes Into the Light, loot wise, is complete and utter bribery of the community by Bungie. The returning weapons will basically be the strongest they ever were sans Luna's Howl and Recluse. Even those are be maybes depending on how strong the first column perks ares when attached to Master and Magnificent. 3 raid weapons, including 2 from a still active raids. And finally they bring in an all black shader that isn't memento tied. All of this is bribery, and I'm perfectly ok with that. I just wish a new version of Gnawing Hunger would be implemented as well. The new social space feels like a combo of Zur's and Leviathan's. Hall of Champions is a neat idea, and I kind of wish they had in already. I'm sure some are pissed it isn't the old Tower, but if that returns it will almost certainly be in the Final Shape and probably still changed a good deal.

Very much looks like them taking favorites from over the years for this update. I like it though it feels weird that raid weapons are included though I'm not complaining.

Opening segment with Cody and Rock was decent. JD/Ricochet was good with Dom continuing to be a well used prop/heta magnet in Judgement Day matches and segments. I thought the Punk segment was by far the best he has looked since his return talking wsie. He seemed to feel so much more comfortable and I dug the barbs between him and Drew. I know they wanted to bring it back to the title match with Seth, but I really wish they let Drew murder Punk for the heat and run off from Seth. Ivy/Candice was another short match just further getting across the Candice heel turn. DIY vs. New Day was pretty nice up until the Judgement Day run in and beatdown on everyone.Awesome Truth were fun on commentary, and I loved Truth trying to stay out of the beatdown until Judgement Day dragged him in. Andrade/Vinci was a nice showcase for Andrade. The Becky/Rhea segment was solid. Was good to see them finally come to blows and Dom was once again well used. Still they have to understand there is basically no way the audience will look at Rhea as a heel properly. They really need to turn her face when this is all said and done. Sami/Bronson was pretty solid. Dug Günther's appearance psyching Sami out for the finish.Really digging the idea of Gunther being able to get into guys' heads and Sami needing more than his usual spirit to succeed. Its been a good way to use Gable and keep him involved, giving Sami the tough love and honesty he needs to have a chance. Jey/Nakamura was solid, but this was all the post match going back to Cody vs. Rock. I thought th segment could have used a minute or two less, but Loved Cody taking an absolute beating and bleeding from the Rock. Good matches and segments building for Wrestlemania nd just a few things after. Dug the show a good deal. Length is the only thing that keeps me from calling it good.

Is it? I'm sure there is cult aspect for some, but in this case its more of that idea of how people who do the type of shit Vince did either do it outright and arrogantly expecting little to no consequences or present themselves as different people to others, only showing their full or real selves to few individuals of like mindedness.

Shockingly managed to finish a Trials Passage on the first day I've had it for the first time. Can definitely see why Passage of Persistence is the easier way as long as you have multiple decent runs where you can tied 2 or more victories together. Can still be frustrating with the back and forth win/loss aspect which is my Trials norm. Was happy to get an ok Adept of Stasis Scout Rifle. Still going to try to play more for more rolls. So far I have had less success tonight, but I've only done a handful of games. I have to admit its definitely less frustrating to lose when you are on a 7-win card and extra Adept loot is your only aim. It is still amazing though how bad so many players are at PvP. I pretty much had shit teams for all of my games tonight and yet those players are either at my rank or a little higher. Still it says a lot when the last match went 4-4 before the inevitable loss because I carried my team through at least 3 of those games. The other team wasn't even good. They were just better as team while my guys sucked as a team and as solos. The fact that I came out as the best player on scoreboard just made me chuckle a sad laugh since I'm pretty sure I'm average at D2 PvP wise.

Hogan/Andre WM3 Rock/Austin WM17 Austin/Bret WM13 Not sure after those. Those are all important as beginnings or end of eras. Honestly, its probably should be Bruno's and Backlund's title wins or losses alongside those, but they aren't pushed as important as the reigns themselves.

Rey/Santos was solid-good even with Rey finally losing a step or two and having to slow it down. Dom helping out at the very amused it as I enjoy Dom taking every chance he can to fuck Rey over. Rey may have won their match last year, but the feud never ends. Waller/Theory vs. OC was better than expected with anderson stepping up a notch or two and the crowd pretty into by the end. Naomi/Io was good even with the fuck finish. Dug everything before backstage with Bianca and how it built into the post match. Was glad to see DC standing at top at the end. Profits/AOP was good. Was surprised to see the Profits win though with this being a more tourney style set up their spot in the ladder match isn't quite guaranteed yet. Final segment was mostly decent though a little long and awkward at times. The matches and segments were generally good for the most. The weakest part of the show was surprisingly the main event given how well most of these Bloodline vs. Cody & friends segments have gone the past 5-6 weeks. Pretty solid show overall.

Could be my mistake, but I think your memory is a bit faulty here. None of the heel stuff started to build until after Deadline.
