I'll add TNG: Matters of Honor Part 2. Part one was great. One of the best Worf episodes. But part 2 hardly focused on him, devolving back into the Federation/ Romulan proxy war. Worse, it undid the memorable character death(s) of Tasha Yar. Instead of being ripped away from us senselessly by a force of evil or dying a hero to restore history, she gets captured by Romulans, has a child with one, is apparently killed while trying to escape, and now her daughter is generically evil. All so that Denise Crosby could be back on the show. Continuing on the Sci-Fi route, Babylon 5 episode 'Day Of The Dead'. On an alien holiday, parts of the B5 station get trapped in a force field that allows those inside to meet the spirits of the dead. New captain reunites with a dead sister that we didn't hear about prior. We also learnt hat her personal pass code literally references sisters death and exists solely to be used in front of dead sister. Faithful servant meets one of the old antagonists, even though they never met before and old bad guy is weirdly out of character. Prime minister meets the love of his life who was ripped away from him, which makes sense because it fueled his character arc. But then the security chief also gets his girl back, which we knew for an episode and never gets mentioned again. A major character returns, but off screen. Oh and the president & first lady of the interstellar alliance have dinner with Penn & Teller. Who aren't dead. Basically this was the Sub Rosa of Babylon 5, but worse since this episode and the whole last season were rushed out. Of course we can't exempt our beloved MLP. Nor will I exempt Newbie Dash. A cringe worthy episode with such a weak moral and a lousy payoff to Rainbow Dash's show spanning journey.

The reaction of Sunset and the rest of Raw's remaining audience at what was inside Eric Rowan's cage.

New Japan Legend Manabu Nakinishi (or Kurosawa to you WCW fans) wrestled his 2737th match. It was also his last, the former Olympic bronze medalist calling it a career after 28 years. He and his best friends Satoshi Kojima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Yuji Nagata collectively known as the 3rd generation (or the New Japan dads), ran the gauntlet, each night facing the best each faction had to offer. First it was Suzuki-gun. Then LIJ. Then Bullet Club. And the 3rd generation beat them all. A winning streak on a retirement tour. But on the last night, they'd face the tough task of all star team Hirooki Goto, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kazuchika Okada in a clash of NJPW's main event scene: past vs. present. With mentor Riki Chosu on commentary, Koruken was more than behind their hero on his last night as a wrestler. And boy were they behind the maker of the monster morning. I have never heard Ibushi, Tana, Goto & Okada get so much heat from the crowd before. This match was good, but the crowd made it great. They felt like the 3rd generation had a chance to send Nakanishi out with a win. Sadly, the winning streak was broken, with Tanahashi pinning the man who dethroned him for the gold with a High Fly Flow. After Nakainishi was hit with a GTR. And a Kami Goye. And a Rainmaker. What a way to go out. And what a touching ceremony it was. Being given flowers and heartfelt speeches from not only is third generation brothers, but also the company president Harold Meij, chairman Sugabaiyashi, and his mentors Hiroshi Hase, Seiki Sakaguchi, Riki Chosu and Tatsumi Fujinami. And by his own admission, Nakanishi doesn't handle pressure in stride. He didn't quite know what to do when given he spotlight. He acted like he was a young lion again. It was very endearing. In his heart, he's just a humble country boy who loves wrestling. A great wrestler and an even better human being. Arigato gozaimashita, Manabu-san.

I'm not a bro, but still, let's raid it!

"Random woman reaches into her purse and pulls out one of those bridal planning books that's covered in hand writing that looks way too cute to belong to someone who looks like she was old enough to get railed behind a gas station during the Cuban missile crisis."

"The payoff, somehow, disappointed my already very low expectations!"

"No! This was supposed to be a fight club, not a fking orgy!"
