HomoSapiien:
Wonder why y’all not talking about the alliance Rhaenyra had with Daemon.

Exactly, because that's a more calculated power move than stealing that Vhagar.

My Episode 7 Analysis

It was such an interesting episode to watch. I was able to deduce the following.

1) Father became proud of his daughter and grandson. Otto Hightower waited all his life for the dark side of his daughter—Alicent. Finally, he saw it and was perplexed. Also, his grandson Aemond gave him a glimpse of victory.

My favourite scene was the speech Aemond gave after his mum wanted to get flesh for flesh. "Do not mourn me, mother. It's a fair exchange. I must have lost an eye but I have gained a dragon."

2) Ser Laenor is becoming a darling. He now understands the throne politicking.

3) Aegon the wankerer is getting foolish as the day goes by.

4) Reheayra is losing and she's not aware.

I will rate this episode 8/10. The battle for the iron throne has begun. The dark sides of each claim are showing.

My newfound favourite character:

==> Aemond

How is Rhaenyra losing?
I know we all loved how Almond(pun intended) was badass and claimed Vhagar but how did that automatically tip the scales to Allicunt?

Only the union between Daemon and Rhaenyra will send shockwaves throughout the 7 kingdoms and they still have a legit claim to the Valyryon throne.
She is winning.

Hotd Episode 7....9/10
The episode started too slowly but ended with a bang...The leanor valeyron twist from the books was a nice touch, also enjoyed Aemond ride on vhagar
Cons: The scenes shot in the dark were awful, checked and saw it's the same director who directed the Long Night (GOT S8 E03) which also had very poor lighting...

True, be like say dem go look into that guy matter. Even Batman no do reach like this

TheKingIsHere:
Omo!! See kasala everywhere

Everyone is calling Viserys a weak king but from another angle, this guy doesn't want unnecessary bloodshed. Wanting peace doesn't make him weak as some people tag him.

He already knows that those children are bastards but because of the love he has for Rhenyra and his willingness to make her heir, he took them as they were.

Children showing the adults how to fight was quite refreshing lol

Score - 9/10

Still can't believe Leanor agreed to that plot even after swearing devotion previously to Rhaenyra.

Hv you watched him play RW before? I hv watched him played CM when Zizou was the coach. Even his profile says he is a CM.

Arribas is very talented and i pray Ancelotti starts introducing him in some matches.

He can play AM but due to his speed and trickery he is best suited as a RW...I've never seen him play CM

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Maybe I’m still stuck in the past as far as how WWE TV shows used to be presented, but it feels jarring to me that we could be this close to the next major pay-per-view and have a show like what we got with Friday Night SmackDown this week.
It wasn’t bad, per se, it just sort of existed.
The show was headlined by a match that was put together earlier in the evening when Austin Theory was trash talking Drew McIntyre and Alpha Academy just so happened to have also been there to back up Theory but Johnny Gargano & Kevin Owens also just so happened to be there to back up McIntyre.
You got it! A six-man tag match pitting the two sides against each other closed the show.
It was perfectly fine for what it was. Maybe I’m the one in the wrong for being so used to opening with a promo from the big star you’re expecting to see and that being what leads to the main event match featuring said big star. This just felt like a way to get through this week’s show. The ratings have been fantastic lately, so clearly what they’re doing is working.
Still, when Roman Reigns isn’t around, you really feel his absence.
Anyway, the good guys emerged victorious via a fun finish that we didn’t really see. Owens hit Otis with a Stunner on the announcer’s desk — and they weren’t on it — and then McIntyre hit Theory with the Claymore — and they weren’t on it — for the winning pinfall. We had to see them both via replay.

Ronda Rousey called herself the “most dangerous unarmed woman on the planet” before asking a simple question: “what do you think I become wielding a baseball bat?”
The most dangerous being in the Universe?!?
Get it?
I’m so sorry.
Anyway, she wrestled Natalya in a match designed to heat her up for Extreme Rules in just over a week. The match they had was short and Rousey sold a bit more than I expected her to but Nattie tapped to the Ankle Lock in the end.
After, Liv Morgan showed up dragging a baseball bat and they had a staredown before rushing each other. Morgan, despite having a bat, got kicked in the gut. A quick battle ensued and eventually they fought over said bat, going full Roman Reigns/Brock Lesnar and having a tug of war over it.
Yeah.
Naturally, security hit the scene and despite the fact that Rousey had gotten the best of Morgan, she decided to leave the bat and walk out without causing a fuss. The champ, of course, wouldn’t stand for that and rushed her through the security detail, with commentary making clear this is how extreme she could get.
This all fell flat, and failed to accomplish what they hoped it would. Morgan came in with a bat and somehow looked weak anyway and Rousey feels so far above this despite feeling like less of a major star than she ever has.
I’m not entirely sure how the women’s division on the blue brand got here but it could badly use a few talented stars like, say, Sasha Banks and Naomi? Hell, when is Charlotte Flair coming back?

All the rest
This show opened with Solo Sikoa & Sami Zayn teaming up to score a win over Ricochet & Madcap Moss. The heels cheated their way to victory in a fun opener that further established Sikoa as the enforcer of The Bloodline. He’s the kind of muscle that demands respect not just for being willing and able to throw some heavy blows, but because he goes so far in his zest for doing so. If you stub his toe, he’s breaking your leg. He’s perfect for the top group in all of WWE.
Meanwhile, Jey Uso says he sees through Sami. Who knows what that means, but he gave him a warning shot this week.

Anyone else far prefer Karrion Kross with hair to the bald look? Just me?

Max Dupri is inching closer to becoming LA Knight once again but I will say I’m greatly enjoying how absolutely fed up he is with the Maximum Male Models and all their bullshit. It’s entertaining enough that I’m not worried about them taking their time on this one. In fact, they should!

Hit Row scored a relatively easy win over Los Lotharios. There wasn’t much to this one.Imperium left Sheamus a battered mess, but his response was to ask “is that all you got?” That got over big with the crowd, who chanted his name in response.

Shotzi got her tank back! It didn’t help her win a match, as she was beaten by Bayley, who is getting ready to challenge for the Raw women’s championship. Speaking of, Bianca Belair was on this show to save Shotzi from a ladder attack. There was a brief back-and-forth with Bayley to tease out another contract signing for Raw next week.

This was one you could skip.

It was a very interesting anime, with elements of horror, scifi, time travel, looping, and lots of action, especially as the series goes on.

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Threats
When NXT kicked off this week, IIlja Dragunov basked in the glow of the crowd and stated his reason for being: Bron Breakker. Ilja doesn’t want to wait in line because he never lost his title, nor is he concerned with the current number one contender, JD McDonagh. Which, I get because that cat is an entire mess. Dragunov sees a lot of Gunther in Bron and believes he can work his magic one more time.
Long story short, JD came to the ring, Bron came to the ring, used some Steiner math and called for a triple threat match at Halloween Havoc. Any time a Steiner does math, it’s always an adventure. And I can relate, because me and math go together like Barcelona and winning Bayern Munich teams.
Dragunov’s arrival meant the guy who believes he’s the cock of the walk, Xyon Quinn, feels a bit insecure. Quinn got in Iilya’s face, challenged him to a match, and a match we got.
Quinn is a perplexing cat right now. Months ago during the heyday of the 2.0 days (remember those?!), he looked prime to blow up. Now he’s a running punchline. Quinn is the guy who talks about how good he is and how he has the “X factor” but loses big match after big match. Which includes this match with Dragunov. And it was a good match with the outcome never really in question, but it’s just hard getting excited for anything involving Quinn these days. It’s fun seeing Ilya do his thing but I wish his first match on NXT in several moons involved someone truly worth caring about.

Extracurriculars
Puff, the Magic Dragon
So this was weird. Mandy Rose wrestled Fallon Henley, she of “Yee-Haw, bitch” fame, and Henley held her own. This was a solid match between the champ and a young challenger who showed she has enough skill and character to go far in this business-ah.
But then Mandy won and that’s when things got strange for me. Mandy has a date with Alba Fyre, so naturally she called out her next challenger after dismissing Henley. Fyre showed up on video, bat in hand, and lit fire to a display that read #AndNew. That shocking display of fire and calligraphy sent Toxic Attraction into a tizzy.
Huh? That’s the big thing? She lit up some words with her bat because she prefers to let her actions do the talking? Meh. And that’s the thing that intimidates the champ? No, sir, I don’t like it.

Pub Crawl
I’m not even going to try to recap this Pub Rules match between Briggs & Jensen and Gallus. Just know it was fun, violent, an absolute mess, and the country boys won. Oh, and Gallus got “arrested” after the show.

Moving On
Wes Lee qualified for the ladder match at Halloween Havoc due to the ref stopping the match. One drop toe hold sent Tony D’Angelo into the middle turnbuckle, and Tony D immediately clutched his knee (peep those rhymes). So, yeah, not much to say here other than Wes didn’t want to win this way but he did.

Sol Debut
Sol Ruca made her NXT debut in a match against Amari Miller. All I can say is Amari deserves better. Sol has some interesting moves using her gymnastics background, but this was a rough first match. More tread on her tires might help and put some steak behind the sizzle.
Tough seeing Amari take the L here since she has more potential and feels destined for developmental hell at this point. Or maybe I’m just taking it hard since I go hard in the paint for Black women. Shrug.

Pretty Workouts
Pretty Deadly’s video this week might be the funniest thing I’ve witnessed in wrestling in quite some time.

To the Mat
Look, everyone. I’m sorry, you know I can’t get into Joe Gacy for the most part. And that’s acknowledging that the man can go in the ring too. But this thing between him and Cameron Grimes is going on way too long now and with Gacy’s win tonight, thanks in part to the Dyad, it shows no signs of ending. Meaning I show no signs of being less annoyed.

Hear Me Roar
Kayden Carter and Nikkita Lyons put on a solid and entertaining match this week. Both women showcased their athletic ability, agility, and their other assets in a couple fun spots. the story going into this was whether or not Lyons and Zoey Stark even know how to be tag partners. Especially when compared to the NXT tag team champs. If Stark and Lyons are Carter and Katana Chance’s next challengers, then Lyons’ victory here is the right call. Establishing Nikkita and Zoey as worthy challengers to the champs is paramount. Color me interested.

Can’t lie to you, ladies and gents. This was a hard show to get through. There were solid matches, most definitely, but not much grabbed my attention and demanded my eyes. This wasn’t one of NXT’s better outings and just didn’t connect with me on the levels I hoped. That said, Halloween Havoc is shaping up to be quite the event, which is my light at the end of the tunnel.
