  1. There were so many ways they could’ve gotten a belt off Roman without having him actually lose. This was a very poor way to handle it. Unifying the belts last year was one of the dumbest decisions they’ve made.

  2. My parents are good people who did the best they could to raise me, and generally speaking, they did a very good job. They made some questionable decisions, and there were things that left their scars, but that's true for everybody, right? I don't begrudge them or blame them for any significant trauma... or, at least, I don't hold it against them. They genuinely did the best they could.

    But man do they not know how to talk to humans, and that includes me. This is just an example, and one of their least examples, but it just happened and I'm scratching my head over it so I'm posting it, even though it doesn't compare at all to most of what's going on in this thread.

    Today's my 40th birthday. They called me late tonight, late enough that I had been wondering if they had forgotten or my dad was having something medical going on (note I wouldn't be bothered if they didn't call, but it would've been noticeable). I teased them about it when I answered the phone, and they, fairly, said they waited til late to call because they didn't know my work schedule. I told them well of course I took the day off. Baby boomers that they are they teased me back about not being an adult. I pointed out I have a ton of PTO, so why wouldn't I take it off? No one wants to work on their birthday! They asked, well, do I take my kids' birthdays off too, to which I said of course I do.

    And their response is WELL WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT. They said it jokingly as fitting the tone of the whole conversation, but, uh, what? What in the world is defensive about any of that? For one thing, literally defending yourself is not "being defensive." But even without that, there... was... nothing at all defensive happening there. And I know there wasn't because I'm a sensitive person and can get overly defensive at the weirdest things sometimes.

    Wow this was a lot more words to say than I meant. But wtf. Are we gonna be weird old people to our kids when we're our parents age too? I really hope not.

  3. I thought Allison Pill was queen of a newer, friendly Borg? Did I miss something?

    After finally seeing it, I think the Titan looks more like the Enterprise than the F does. And did Word destroy the E cuz I missed that story too.

    What happened to Shaw, while not unexpected, totally sucked

  4. It didn't end up being QUITE so bad, but there was an a handful of dumb "get to know you" ice breaker and communication games, also known as an introvert's nightmare. But events like this are designed BY extraverts FOR extraverts with little care or worry about others, so it's not really a surprise.

  5. I agree with you—the fact that the last one was about crystal skulls, objects long since debunked as hoaxes, was incredibly disappointing. I’d definitely rather an item more rooted in history, but at this point, I just want a fun Indy adventure. I’m on board for whatever at this point because I know we won’t be getting another one.

  6. Agreed on Vadic. She was a good villain but I don’t need to hear a 5 minute monologue every time she has something to say

    also needs more Shaw. He hasn’t done much the last couple episodes

  7. Also apparently I lied because I still watched NXT tonight, and it was a great show. I even missed Dragon Lee's singles debut, which I heard was a 5 star match, and it was still great. Nice to see things go well when Vince isn't involved. Gonna have to look up that Dragon Lee match though
