Saturday, February 20th, 2010The Return of the Raw Recap, 1/04/10
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Before I get to the recap of the first Raw of 2010, I'd like fulfill the obligations of losing a bet by including a little poetic recap of the Year That Was for Monday Night Raw in 2009. Which you may want to skip if you hate that kind of stuff. The other day a friend was over and asked me to write something in about twenty minutes on the subject of Raw in 2009, so I spat this out pronto.
LOST!
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009Although the Oscar nominations proved to be a huge disappointment, Lost did not.
I've always had a love-hate relationship with time travel, and although this season threatens to warp my fragile wittle mind, I'm loving the discombobulation going on. Faraday steps up to the plate and becomes a main event player! The time travel stuff now allows the writers to play in the sandbox they've created, because we can visit Rousseau, Dharma, the Black Rock, the hatches and get all kinds of cool backstory without needing the flashbacks and flashforwards. In fact, the story on The Island was so overwhelmingly fascinating for me that it really made the "three years later" stuff look weak by comparison. But then I'm sick of Jack and Kate and Hurley anyway. Nice shoutout by Anna Lucia ("Stay away from the cops") and I'm glad someone stood up to Ben, but I don't think getting arrested is the best course of action for Hurley. But as Ben said, it IS tough for people to trust him now. And Frogurt, the dumbest character ever, gets one of the most deserving deaths. Loved it.
Great start to the season.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling – August 30 1986
Sunday, January 11th, 2009The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - August 30 1986
- This is an important date for me, because this would be my 12th birthday, which resulted in my parents renting Wrestlemania 2 for the party and turning me into a lifelong fan. I started watching NWA's Worldwide Wrestling in syndication soon after, with the first show I ever saw being the one where Magnum TA's career-ending car accident was announced, so we're getting pretty close to that point now.
- Your hosts are Tony & David, with unsolicited help from Jim Cornette. They announce that Wahoo has beaten Tully Blanchard to win the National title, and that belt comes to the end of the line via the Nikita Koloff tour of destruction a month after this.
Lost some more
Monday, December 1st, 2008So with a weekend off after a hectic work week and no desire to waste three hours on reviewing Survivor Series, I decided to make better use of my time by watching the entire second season of Lost. And wow, was this just as good as the first or what? Someone in the last thread about the show commented that the end of the second season and start of the third were a bit of a slog to get through, but in the immortal words of Mean Gene, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, MAN? Perhaps the absence of commercial breaks and weeks off helped the flow a lot for me, but I was on the edge of my seat for like 18 hours straight, something that hasn't happened to me since the first season of 24.
Spoilery stuff when we continue...
