Ally fucking Beardsley dropping a fucking "hey girlie" to a talking jaguar of all things in Never Stop Blowing Up shouldn't have been as surprising as it was.

I find it disrespectful how good all of the Never Stop Blowing Up cast look on all the episodes. How am I expected to follow this batshit crazy storyline when Alex Song-Xia looks Like That? How do I track the rules when Rekha's got that pretty makeup on? How do I remember everybody's stats when Ally comes in wearing the outfit from last week?

Brennan, who is pretending to be A Bug with a Big Ass, being forced to flirt with Brennan, who is actually Ally, is the peak of comedy and frankly I struggle to see how the rest of the episode tops that moment.

Hold on let me be coherent this time.

The drinking. The empty house. The Swerve flashbacks. The photo of the Elite. The Orville Peck song in the background. The alcohol spilling down the glass. The way, in Hanger's own voice, you can hear, "The Elite!" in the background, but in a strange, distorted, echo.

Hangman Adam Page is going to come back, annihilate Jeff Jarrett as the wild card, and wreak absolute heelish havoc.

And I am PUMPED.

Vic's expressions of baffled horror during Thousandaire's first episode are works of art.

Swerve, it is not AEW putting you and Hangman together. It's the incredible undercurrent of violent homosexuality that you two charge from either end. Don't be silly.

The way Brennan-as-Zortch stares at Ally-as-Margaret as Margaret shows Zortch the hotbox420 nude is so fucking funny. On a character level, Zortch is seeing what is self proclaimed as Margaret's hottest nude. On an actor level, Brennan is baffled once again by Ally's bizarre yet effective strategy.

Magnificent.

If Ally doesn't roll a nat 20 in the finale of NSBU the season will be incomplete.

You can't have a season this batshit crazy NOT end with one of Ally's clutch nonsense rolls. Let them create clones of Jennifer that all make out with each other or something. They deserve it.

"Speak friend and enter" has the exact opposite energy from "tip well and leave" and it feels correct that Adaine has a connection to both.

My mom: I'm still mad that cute little boy didn't win that one match.

She's talking about Daniel Garcia and frankly she's not wrong.

[banannabethchase]

That was outstanding. Genuinely outstanding. Ospreay wouldn't stop, and Swerve had to take him out of his misery. The murder was the mercy.

[banannabethchase]

Alright, AEW, when Cody was here we could put the whipping fetish on him, but he's been gone for ages so who the fuck is it.

[banannabethchase]

Youngest Men Alive Outrunners vs. Grizzled Young Veterans vs. Young Bucks would be great because every single one of them looks like they could go home to help their child with their FAFSA application.

People who don't watch Dimension 20, explain this screenshot.

"Banged down a tunnel."

Ally goddamned Beardsley you aren't allowed to be that funny by accident. It's not fair to the rest of us.

Something something Briscoe and Darby have put Matt in the position he put Mox in last year, because the younger guy he's taken under his wing is now about to suffer and Matt's handcuffed across the ring and can't do a damned thing.
