The end of Apocalypse, Nowish is what ruined it for me. Funny how both episodes ended with HOT SEX~, but at least Reprise's made sense (well, A,N's made sense in the long run, it was just disturbing), and wasn't just incest.

I decided to see what bait and switch felt like.

MARKOUT. Edwin, come back and shower us with excellence and other things not suitable for this message board. Yow!

I am interested in your product and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Update! An official statement from Andy: At least he's okay.

Yeah, some other episodes should probably be in here, but, well, thems the breaks. Voting in this tournament, it's like you just vote for which one you like *more*, because there's hardly an Angel episode that I don't like (with the exception of a select few).

My votes! Shells A Hole in the World Not Fade Away Reprise

Alright, since it's past Saturday morning, I've decided to tally up the results, making me the tournament's THIRD director. Heh. WINNERS! Not Fade Away - 13 Forgiving - 0 Hero - 7 Five By Five - 6 Reprise - 7 You're Welcome - 6 Shells - 10 Underneath - 3 To Shanshu in LA - 10 Peace Out - 3 Apocalypse, Nowish - 12 Billy - 1 Origin - 12 Soul Purpose - 1 A Hole in the World - 11 Salvage - 2 I'll randomize the brackets again, and then post them in a few minutes.

It wasn't really a technical thing that stood out, though (to me, at least); it was the fact that he had MVS take a bump that would've killed someone (flipped back from the turnbuckle to the floor, on his head), and got right up. That's just completely unrealistic.

!!! I hope everything works out and he gets better. Good luck, Andy.

We should have the show in Ash Ketchum's backyard. It's never been done before, and it'd be fun to do for a change.

Gund sounds like a good idea. We haven't hit there in a while.

Actually, I thought the plan was them stopping for the feds and Book telling off the Fed like he did. Although I guess the gunshot did help their case.

I watched about 10 minutes of it. It was ridiculous. I think some girl asked for the origin of a word, then the pronunciations, then the definition, then the pronunciations, then the part of speech it was, then the origin, then the pronunciations, then the definition, then the pronunciations. Then she got it wrong anyway. Hot.

Man, fuck that. Mr. WARRIOR has a certain mystique to him and you're ruining it.

No, this is supposedly some new version of the movie. It's about halfway down the page.

Oh man, I'm so pumped.

In-fighting? I thought people *wanted* comments on their stuff.

Too many lists, my head hurts. And, according to Whedonesque, what is Angel season 5 MVP Amy Acker doing now that the series is over? ... ... ... "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" Right.

Hey, don't bring MISTER Warrior into your petty squabbles.

Pulp Fiction

COMMENTS! ~Nice, simple promo by Card to start off the show. Short and effective, and I like where he's going with this character. ~Double no-show! Awesome! But TNT, come on, everyone knows it's Kombat. ~Okay, Toxxic HAS to be rookie of the year or something. It's amazing to see how far he's come in just, what, four months? ...dude, Super Soaker? Now THAT'S how you win a hardcore match. That's up there with 'stuff urinal cake in Ash's mouth' in terms of ideas. *MUTHAFUCKING “CHING”, BITCH!!*? and "Testicles are your friends"? Okay, again with the awesome. The Silent chants were a nice touch.I really like your writing style, Toxxic. You don't just describe the action, you go through the thought process of the participants to explain exactly why they're doing what they're doing. Dangerlust off the LADDER? Egads! Great finish. ~LANDON! The man they call Landon! Clark is playing the mindgames, but Landon no-sells them and KNOCKS JAMES OUT! MOMMA SAID KNOCK JAMES OUT! He may be Edward James, bitch, but he's not Landon Maddix! ~Speaking of improvement, Zodd Cortebu, you're only getting better. This is really solid for a heel/tweener match, with Duran getting the leg worked over in great fashion, but still falling back on his power to gain an advantage. Ref bump? Eh, I'm not really a big fan of them, but at least it puts over Duran's desperation in doing so. Poor Funyon; first he gets heckled in Toxxic/IL and now he gets harassed by Duran. Can the guy ever get a break? Nice finish sequence, too. Normally, flash pins seem kinda weak, but it works in this case; it'd be tough to think of another way for a lightweight tweener upstart to beat a heavyweight heel veteran, so the small package is a good idea. ~Triple threat time! Nice sequence to start, with both heels focusing on Johnny. I like MVS using The Answer on Johnny; nice touch. German Suplex from the RING to the FLOOR? Holy shit! That's a huge spot to put so early in the match. And again with the big bumps! Jesus, Mike falls from the turnbuckle to the floor right on his head? That should've killed him! Wait...he gets RIGHT back up? Umm...is Mike human (no, he's God, but that's beside the point)? Instead of going for the head, Ace works over the leg, which is questionable. Johnny's back after a long pause, big spots galore...and he finishes with an ARMBAR? Mike had his HEAD and his LEGS worked over and Johnny uses an armbar? That's...well, that's bizarre. This match was all over the place. ~Munich's back! Nice bit at the beginning as Riley summarizes his career for us newbies. Hilarious bit at the start of the match with Blazenwing's 'knowledge of the female anatomy' bit. Pretty quick start to the match, with some big moves being hit right out of the gate. Working with someone like Blazenwing's moveset is difficult (don't get me started on that, though), but this is a really solid effort. They're on the outside for quite a while, though, and the ref isn't counting! Minor thing, of course. The whip into the steps and the proceeding bump is a nice visual, though. Okay, there's a few break-the-count spots, but it still seems like a lot of time outside of the ring. And, whoa, that was a surprise finish. Really out of nowhere. It looks like you have a bit of ring rust, but this was a fun little match. ~It's Britney Spears and she's feeling Toxxic! Nice promo with reprecussions from the Dangerlust...no, nevermind. Man, I love this character so much. And the main event is made for Smarkdown. Nice promo. ~The Masked Man? Who the fuck is this guy and why should I care? ~Oooh, UWF-i! Like I told Tom earlier, I love the idea for this little pre-match promo. I figure "Rules? Boooooooooooring~" but he makes it EXCITING by showing examples from past matches. Now that's good stuff. ~BEST OF FIVE TIME, BABY! The first 2-point segment is a nice exchange, with Tom outsmarting Dace. The Ego Buster spot is a bit confusing though, because Dace isn't even off the ground and Tom "sets him back on his feet". I think it's just a wording issue, though. Dace gets some 'lucky' points and Flesher outsmarts Dace again, which is very cool. CEMENT SERIES! Flesher gets 5 points for an awesome combination. A nice little submission sequence next, which Dace segues into a suplex and another three points. I'm really digging this match so far. Flesher gains more points more on technical skill now, which is smart because he can't outsmart Dace forever. Nice little dramatic spot with the KO-tease, too. WHOA! That's an awesome finish to the match, out of nowhere, but it worked great with Tom's mindet and character. It must've been tough working with a match like this for the first time, but you ran with it. Match of the night. Oh, and Tom, post your match, please. ~MAK! MAK! MAK FUCKING FRANCIS! I've missed the Franchise SO much, man. And he's on hype duty for Clark/Maddix! Sweet promo! I can't wait for this match! Now we want Mak back and we want him wrestling! ~Main event time! Nice little opening exchange between Janny and Danus - gives us a good taste of what's to come at 13th Hour. And now we're seeing Landon vs. Clark! Nice way to set up both matches for the PPV by doing this. Only problem I see now is that Clark just took a Rage F'n Unleashed on Storm, and he's bouncing around like nothing's wrong. There's the brief mention of the move in the match, but he doesn't seem to be selling it. If Janus is selling the leg, I think Clark should be selling the neck. Low blow with "Ching" sound effect? I believe you've just saved the match! Good to see Clark's neck is finally worked over as Janus comes in. Seventh Inning Stretch! Nice nod to Grand Slam by Maddix. You know, if those chants for Alan were reversed, you'd get something not fit for television. Just thought I'd point that out. HOT TAG AND HEEEEEEERE'S THE ACTION! DANNY! JANUS! WHO WILL PREVAIL?! The ending sequence is pretty good, the double submission is a nice touch. Although, Janus getting pwn3ed by Clark in the last minutes doesn't look too good when he's going into the main event. Good match, though. Whew! I give Dace a ton of credit for doing this every show. Nice job, everyone. Let's keep the ball rolling up through 13th Hour!

In the Dark was in the first round. I think it got beat out by Lineage. I love Dear Boy. Angel singing "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" is so fucking beautiful. And then there's the classic line: "I'm not crazy, I saw Darla." "Where?" "Between the clowns and the big talking hot dog!"

Unsurprisingly (but revealed by Fury in the "Grave" commentary), that Yellow Crayon part was written by Joss. Anyway, I'm just salivating over the Angel S4 box set. I can't wait until September.

Uh... owww. EDIT: Oh, Munich, Tryst's stats are in the JL stats page
