Imagine the episode then raking in money from TV stations despite getting miserable ratings.

Gene wanted to tell Navy stories but TV execs wanted scifi stories. And this dumbass writer wanted to tell love stories. No. Its all wrong. That writer can rot in hell. Like Nikki Cross's mask.

if cbs gave me the book on discovery or Picard I would almost exclusively reference storylines from Star Trek the Animated Series. Spock Two, the giant clone of Spock, would be the main character and Satan would be his first officer oh, sorry, wrestling: tihs company is deeply immoral and if you consume even a drop of its product you are complicit in their many crimes

Seth being a little poo poo after the fact doing the Shield fist thing, then Dean/Roman just looking at him, and then destroying him too. Then Dean and Roman, who were still faces who were friends(crazy thought), both just look at one another and go 'well someone has to win, no hard feelings'?

I guess it is a fair comparison since Worf spent most of his run in catering and then went to another promotion/show and was way better.

Dean and Roman doing their "loser buys the beers?" friends shtick made no sense. It's still a fatal four way. Just toss Seth in the ring and pin him to get the belt away from the Authority and then do your tee hee we're such good friends shtick later, dorks.

Showing some love here for Mega Man 2, because: - the best weapon in the history of video games (Metal Blade) - the best soundtrack in the history of video games (Bubble Man, Flash Man, Quick Man, Wily's Castle 1) - Wily morphing into an alien for the final boss (but not really) freaked the hell out of me as a kid Anyway, Raw is bad.

D.N. Nation posted:Showing some love here for Mega Man 2, because: I have a soft spot for 3 because the Magnet Man and Wily Boss themes are so loving good. MM2 is definitely the iconic game of the series, and yeah it has one of the best soundtracks in NES history. They're both dope. The MM2 boss retread bit in MM3 was kinda tiresome, though, so even though MM2 has that stupid boss that requires carefully placing Crash Bombs, I gotta go with MM2 overall. Metal Blade was unreal. I was so happy as a kid when I finally got good enough to beat Metal Man without the Quick Boomerang, so I could just demolish 90% of the game with that ridiculously OP weapon.
