I Love Lucy "The Lost Pilot" Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls I want it known that even tho i'm doing a review for an episode that's at the very least seventy years old at this very point time that i'm not that old. I'm reviewing this episode because never seen an episode of I Love Lucy and so when I heard that there was this supposedly lost pilot episode you just know that I was going to try and track down a copy of the mythical supposedly lost episode episode in the question and so here is my review of the I Love Lucy episode that was was lost for about thirty plus years with the episode in question being called simply just "The Lost Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Ricky Ricardo is putting on a show for some sponsors with the hope that his show will get picked up and put up and on television and so he tried everything he can to keep Lucy Ricardo which all changes the second that a clown who is supposed to appear on Ricky Ricardo's show gets himself injured and it's up to Lucy to take the clowns place in Ricky Ricardo's show. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this lost pilot episode the plot of this lost pilot episode to me felt a little bit on the weak which given that this show is a sitcom is to be expected but since this was a pilot you really do want to put your best foot forward to impress people for me at least this story simply didn't do that for me personally.

Starring in this episode is Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo , Desi Arnaz as Ricky Ricardo and Jerry Hausner as Jerry. Also starring in this episode is Bob LeMond as The Voice Of The Narrator for this episode Pepito Pérez as Himself and Joanne Pérez as Herself. This kind of an obvious thing to say but i'm doing this review based off of the 2002 DVD version of the episode as mentioned above features new audio of the original narrator for I Love Lucy that being of cause Bob LeMond but i have to say that you can quite clearly tell when it's new audio and when it's old audio since in the new audio Bob LeMond just sounds tired and almost and yet in the original audio Bob LeMond just sounds the complete opposite of tired and bored.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular / very episode in all honesty I honestly really did like the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular / very episode. This is simply because all of the actors that are starring in this episode have some really good chemistry with each other and while the acting in this very episode isn't perfect by any means (which is to be expected from a pilot episode) the that's in this very episode so for the most part really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then for those of you who aren't aware I Love Lucy was a show that aired on CBS with the show starting on Monday October 15th 1951 with the show lasting six seasons with the final episode of the show airing on Monday May 6th 1957. This show did kind of spawn a continuation show with the show in question being called simply just "The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour" with that show lasting three seasons airing between Wednesday November 6th 1957 with the final episode airing on Friday April 1st 1960.

Like most pilot episodes this pilot was never aired and was more then / most likely just shown to TV executives in a bid to sell the show. However this pilot episode unlike most other pilot episodes was lost for many decades with the episode episode basically becoming a piece of lost media for many decades that was until at the very the least the very 1990's when Joanne Pérez the wife of Pepito Pérez informed CBS that Lucille Ball had given Pepito Pérez the only copy ever made of this very episode which she only gave it to Pepito Pérez simply due to his friendship and as a show of gratitude.

This episode technically air on television since it was broadcast on Monday April 30th 1990 on CBS as part of a Lucille Ball tribute show with the show in question being hosted by the daughter of both Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz with the daughter's name being simply just Lucie Arnaz. What is interesting is that Lucille Ball was actually six months pregnant with Lucie Arnaz at the time that this very pilot episode was being shot and for the 1990 airing of this episode , some DVD releases and VHS releases of this very episode Lucie Arnaz provides the voice of the narrator that we hear at the very start of the episode.

Now then people used to say that classic Doctor Who had some very wobbly sets and while i've personally never seen classic Doctor Who episodes where the sets would wobble I could see / understand where they were coming from. However I have to say that this particular / very episode has sets that you can actually see wobbling and I get that they most likely didn't have the / a budget to build sturdy sets for this episode but considering the main set that wobbles is meant to be the home for your main characters you'd think that some form of effort would have gone into making sure that that set doesn't wobble that much since in my case at least it reminded me that I was watching a TV show and that I wasn't watching these two people just going about there very / freaking day.

This particular / very episode has a grand total running time of exactly thirty five minuets and seven seconds and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people due to the story being as thinly drawn as it is this episode feels alot longer than / then it actually is. Which is a shame because this episode is very entertaining but it just doesn't have the right story to fit this rather long running time in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then since this episode is a comedy and this episode is from a very well known and as well as very loved comedy TV sitcom that means that I gave to actually talk about the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very episode are really freaking funny. This is because actress Lucille Ball is a genuinely funny person and so she can get a laugh just with a look or with a facial expression and so she can make all of these jokes which if they were given to any other 1950's actress / female comedian these jokes would have fallen flat but because Lucille Ball is a genuinely funny woman she makes all of the jokes in this episode really freaking funny in my opinion anyways / at least. 

Overall while this particular / very pilot episode was a bit rough around the edges you can defiantly that there's something special in this episode and it doesn't take a genius to see why this show was picked nor does it take a genius to see why this show is considered to be one of if not the great American sitcom ever made. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this particular / very episode in this very review and as such this episode gets a grand total score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this freaking very review frim the official I Love Lucy fandom wiki page , Google Images and Bleeding Cool . com. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this episode being Google Images simply because google Images had alot of images from this episode and plus all of the images that I personally found that are currently up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition. 

WWE Raw July 19th 2021 Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls i'm a man of my word and when I told you in yesterdays Money In The bank 2021 review that I would be reviewing the very next episode of WWE Raw. I well and truly meant it and well this episode of WWE raw didn't disappoint as much as other episodes of WWE Raw did and so join me as I review the July 19th 2021 episode of the show that is called simply just "WWE Raw" enjoy.

The biggest storylines going into this particular episode of WWE Raw are of course the storyline between Bobby Lashley and Kofi Kingston and the storyline that's currently going on that is currently between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair. If i'm being well and truly honest here people I honestly do feel that the Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair feud has gone on a bit to long now and I honestly do feel that they should end the Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair feud and just judging by this particular episode of WWE Raw it does seem like that they have ended the Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston feud but I could be well and truly wrong tho.

Now then this show is the first episode of WWE Raw to be held infront of a live crown for well over a year and so celebrate the fans finally being allowed back into watch episodes of WWE programming live we have a new stage / set for both Raw and Smackdown and well just based of the clips of Smackdown that i've seen and the 2021 Money In The bank WWE PPV. It seems like the WWE are using the same stage for both both of the main roster shows and for all PPV's moving forward which for a company that is continuing to make money is not a good thing since that they can very easily have unique sets for all WWE PPV's and that they could also have unique sets for both WWE Smackdown and as well as for WWE Raw as well.

I said this in my Money In The Bank 2021 review and i'll say it again here because it's somethin that really does need to be said but my god does it feel great / nice to have a live crowd appearing at WWE shows once again. Since for me at least having a live crowd appearing at WWE shows is not only apart of the overall WWE product but it's also a great help to those working in WWE creative because now they have that instant reaction and so they can now see what's working and what isn't working and and as well as what people are responding well to and as well as what people aren't responding well to and that will only serve to make the overall product alot better in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then I will very fully admit that there was one thing I really wasn't expecting and it's something that honestly did make me laugh and that's the very fact that John Cena and Riddle have a full blown conversation just using the word bro. Honestly whoever came up with that joke deserves alot praise because it was a genuinely funny and as well as being a genuinely entertaining segment in my opinion anyways / at least.

Heck the early parts of this show had some very entertaining and some very funny moments in them like in the six man tag team match when Riddle sprays Omos with the drip stick but Riddle then throws the drip stick back to The Miz and so it looks like that The Miz sprayed Omos with the drip stick and not Riddle. The entire part of that match was very entertaining simply because of The Miz's reaction to the whole thing which to me just goes to show you that The Miz could really do comedy if he ever wanted to do a comedy TV show or comedy movie if that was something that he really wanted to do tho that is.

Now then just like with last week we got another useless "Alexa's Playground" segment with Alexa Bliss , Piper Niven and Eva Marie. I genuinely do enjoy the "Alexa's Playground" segments as they can be quite creepy but here nothing happens to advance the Alexa Bliss vs Eva Marie feud other then we get to see the return of Lilly and we get to see Eva Marie take a very unconvincing trip / fall and that's really / in all honesty it.

This episode of WWE Raw was an episode that was full of returns and debut since we saw the returns of a few superstars and the debut of a new superstar but the biggest return of them all is the fact that we finally got to hear "No More Words" playing across and arena PA system once again. In all honesty it felt so good to hear that theme song once again because in my opinion anyways / at least it is the best WWE singles theme that Jeff hardy has every had.

Now then as you can most likely tell i really did enjoy this episode of WWE Raw as it was a huge step up from more recent episodes. However those issues are still there and they will be rearing their ugly little heads again in the next few weeks simply due to the booking of certain superstars and the booking of a certain superstars debut simply because when this person was on NXT they were booked to look like an unbeatable monster but here this person was booked to look like a chump and not a possible future WWE Universal / WWE Champion.

This particular episode of WWE Raw had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and seven minuets and thirty five seconds and well if i'm being honest apart from the useless "Alexa's Playground" segment. Every single second of this show was used rather well / well used simply because alot of the running time was dedicated to either progressing current storylines or setting up future storylines and in the possible case of one storyline this episode also spent some time concluding a storyline and it's these things that meant that this particular episode of WWE Raw had some great pacing when it came to the overall product.

Now then since there are some actual wrestling matches that are featured / presented to us on this actual WWE wrestling show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual matches that are featured / presented to us on this actual WWE wrestling show and if im being very freaking honest here the matches that are on this show are a huge step down in quality from the matches that we saw at Money In The Bank 2021. Not that the matches that are in this particular episode WWE Raw are bad because there really not but it's because the matches that we saw at Money In The Bank 2021 were so good that it was always going to be hard to top the matches that we saw at Money In The Bank 2921 in my opinion anyways / at least.

Overall this episode of WWE Raw is perhaps the best of WWE Raw that i've seen in a long time and I hope to god that WWE Raw starts to become better and better with each passing episode but that is something that only time will be fully able to tell us all tho. Now that i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are on / in this particular episode of WWE Raw that means that this particular episode of WWE Raw gets a huge score / rating of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and from google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that I used from / of this particular of WWE Raw being Google Images simply because of the wide verity of images that Google Images had and also simply because all of the images that are currently up and on Google Images and that are from this particular episode of WWE Raw are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

WWE Money In The Bank 2021 Review

 

WWE fans the company has been away from crowds full time for at the very least eighteen months and while the previous episode of Smackdown is the first WWE product to be have a live audience on a main roster show. It's this show that sees crowds return full time and I have to say that my god have I missed seeing crowds at a WWE show and so join me as I review the show officially welcomed back live WWE crowds for the first time in well over a year with the 2021 WWE PPV in question being called simply just "Money In The Bank" enjoy.

As alot of you will know i've been following Raw and so it was very easy for me to pick up the storylines that were coming from the Raw brand and the same is also true for the storylines that are coming from the Smackdown. This is because the storylines that are coming from the Smackdown have made the internet wrestling community very happy simply due to how good the storylines that are coming from Smackdown well and truly are and if i'm being very honest here people all of the main storylines are advanced really well in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then for the first time in a long in a time I get to actually talk about the set / stage that is being used in this show and well i'm not the biggest fan of the set / stage that is being used in this very show. Simply because the set / stage that is being used for this very show reminds of the set / stage that was used for Wrestlemania 35 in that both sets / stages are just basically a giant TV screen with a few things on the side and that's really it but at the same time after having almost two years of seeing the exact same set / stage design it is / was honestly nice to see a different set / stage.

I will very fully admit that I liked the fact that the WWE have added new graphics to some superstars entrances like for example Alexa Bliss now has a life size balloon like version of Lily appear during her entrance. This to me adds to over pomp and pedantry for the overall WWE product but at the same time I personally wouldn't want to see things added to every single WWE superstar's entrance as it would make the effect seem all the less special in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then as i've already mentioned at the very start of this review but this is the first WWE PPV since WWE Wrestlemania 37 that there have been fans in attendance at a WWE show and my oh my does it feel good to see a live crowd in attendance at a WWE show. Since for me a live crowd is just as much a part of the WWE product as the wresters / WWE superstars are and it really is good to see a live crowd watching a WWE show / a WWE product once again.

One of the things that really bugged me about the Women's Money In The Bank ladder match is the fact they barely used Alexa Bliss and almost every single time that Alexa Bliss was allowed to get some offence in she was very quickly cut of every single time and while yes I do fully understand that in multi-person matches somebody is going to get cut of a few times from getting some offence in a but when it's almost every single time and they literally bury that wrestler it makes the wrestler look weak as all heck and heck given that Alexa Bliss is apparently supernatural she could have used her supernatural powers to have one of the other wrestlers who is in the women's money in the bank ladder match help her out or heck they could have brought back Lily to help Alexa Bliss out there's literally so many things that you could have done with Alexa Bliss in this match and the WWE went with none of them.

Let's contrast this with the Men's Money In The Bank ladder match were every single person who is competing in that match gets in a decent amount if hits. As such I have to wonder if Alexa Bliss has done anything wrong because it honestly does feel like that she's being punished for something I could be wrong nd I hope to god that I am but that's how it comes across in the Women's Money In The Bank ladder match to me personally.

Now then before I continue on with this review I am more then fully aware that the above images isn't from this particular PPV even however since the vast majority of images that are include THAT return I had to use the above images simply because I honestly do feel that it's best now knowing who returns before you watch this particular WWE PPV event now then in with the review. Without giving away who exactly returns I have to say that this particular return did well and truly shock me because I honestly did think that we had seen the last of this person and given what match that they / the WWE are setting up it looks like Summerslam is going to be a truly good or possibly even great show in my opinion anyways / at least.

This particular WWE PPV event has a grand total running time of exactly three hours and twenty minuets and sixteen seconds and well if i'm being well and truly honest here people I honestly don't feel that this particular WWE PPV event had to be as long as it was. Especially if you take into account that at the very least more then half of that running time is spent on adverts / commercials with little of that exact same running time going towards the actual and as such I personally see no reason as to why this event had to be three hours and twenty minuets and sixteen seconds especially since you could have very easily have had this particular WWE PPV event run in / come in at the very least two hours and thirty minuets.

Now then since this is a wrestling show and that means that there are some actual wrestling matches that are on this particular WWE PPV event and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling matches that are featured / presented to us on this actual WWE PPV event and well if i'm being honest the wrestling matches that are featured / presented to us n this actual WWE PPV event are so freaking good that you can almost forgive alot of the botches that appear in the wrestling that are featured / presented to us on this particular WWE PPV event. This is because I honestly feel that pretty much all of the matches that are on this particular WWE PPV are Wrestlemania quality because that's how good that matches on this particular WWE PPV card well and truly are in my opinion anyways / at least.

Overall this show was so much better then both Wrestlemania Backlash 2021 and Hell In A Cell 2021 were but that's not really a high bar to reach but with that being said there are somethings that are done in this particular WWE PPV that keep it from being great chief of which is the incredibly long running time but the matches are good tho. Now that i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are on this particular WWE PPV event in this very review that means that this particular WWE ppv event gets a grand total score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use being Google Images simply because all of the images that I personally used that are currently up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition and i'll see you all tomorrow for my review of the July 19th 2021 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. 

Red Dwarf "The End" Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen Red Dwarf is a show that is actually the longest running comedy TV show to be in production since this show has never officially ended production. Even with it's ten year hiatus this show has still managed to attract a fan base that is made of both young and old people and heck even I myself had considered reviewing other Red Dwarf episodes in the past but I just couldn't bring myself to do it and so finally i'm pulling the trigger on reviewing an episode of Red Dwarf and so join me as I review the very first episode of Red Dwarf with the episode in question being called simply just "The End" enjoy.

The plot of this particular episode is third-class technician Dave Lister is sent into stasis after he brings on board a cat but when he wakes up not only is he now three million years into the future but he is the only surviving crew member with only a hologram of now dead crew member Arnold Rimmer and the ships computer Holly the three discover that they are not as alone on this ship as they once thought that they were. Now then as for what I personally thought about the plot of this very episode well in all honesty I honestly thought that the plot of this episode was both really good and yet also very basic at the same time.

Starring in this episode is Craig Charles as Dave Lister , Chris Barrie as Arnold Rimmer , Danny John-Jules as Cat and Norman Lovett as Holly. Also starring in this episode is Mac McDonald as Captain Frank Hollister , Clare Grogan as Kristine Kochanski , Robert Bathurst as Frank Todhunter , Mark Williams as The Legend That Is Olaf Petersen , Paul Bradley as Chen , David Gillespie as Selby and Robert McCulley as George McIntyre.

Now then as for what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this / the particular / very episode in all honesty I honestly thought that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this / the particular / very episode was rather shockingly very / really good. This is because all of the actors are so perfectly cast as each and every one of their respective characters and so all of the performances are good because each of the characters at the vert least from point of view of the lead characters are all perfectly crafted to suit the best aspects of each and everyone of the four actors who are playing the four lead characters in not only this episode but also in the rest of the Red Dwarf TV series as a whole. 

Now then I sadly cannot find out which company provided the very dated looking CGI effects for this particular / very episode which is a very good thing indeed. Since like I just said the CGI effects that are featured / presented to us in this particular / very episode look very dated which is of course not the fault of those who were / are in charge of making the show since this show when it was being made had a very tiny budget which means that shots like the one you see above have bad / dated looking CGI effects but those bad looking CGI effects don't even come close to making this episode unwatchable at all in my opinion anyways / at least.

I will very fully admit that this particular / very episode did a very good job of getting across each of the four main characters personalities. Since in this episode we see that Holly is helpful if a bit forgetful at times we also see that Dave Lister is a slob but he likes to have a laugh and jokes and is also a genuinely good friend to those that he his friends with , Cat is just The cat and he is simply perrrrrrrfect in every single way possible even if he is a big on the dumb side of things and lastly we also see that Arnold J. Rimmer is ambitious and is ever so slightly snobby.

While this episode is indeed very freaking good there are some things that I personally didn't ' did not like about this very / particular. With the first of which being the fact that the other Red Dwarf crew members aren't really that fleshed out which I is something that I fully understand since none of the other Red Dwarf crew members are main characters but since it's the deaths of the Red Dwarf crew members that serves as a catalyst for the events of this show even taking place I personally would have liked if at least some of the other Red Dwarf crew members were a bit more fleshed out but that's just what I think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least. 

I honestly thought that the character o The Cat at least in this very / particular episode served no purpose with his scenes just feeling like they were shoehorned in at the last minuet. Which is a shame because The Cat is perhaps one of if not the funniest character in this entire show and so it honestly was a shame to see that his appearance in this episode has very little to no actual impact on the story that is currently being told in this very / particular episode.

Now then this particular / very episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly thirty minuets and two seconds and well I have to be honest here because I thought that that running time was a bit on the short side. Since it means that crucial plot points are now rushed instead of us getting to hose exact same plot points at a more organic pace but at the same time this plot line is perfect for this particular / very episodes running time  tho since this episode doesn't really have enough story / plot / plotline to cover anything that's over thirty minuets in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this is a comedy TV show after all and that means that there are some actual jokes in this episode and that means that I have to actually talk about the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode and well if i'm being very honest here people the jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular are actually the best part of this very / particular episode. Since all of the jokes that are in this episode are really freaking funny and heck / hell I pure and simply cannot pick out a a favourite joke because every single joke in this particular / very episode is so damn good in my opinion anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really good first episode with this particular / very episode also being like I said very funny and as well as being very well written and it's not hard to see why this show has lasted as long as it has because just based off of this episode alone you can see that this series / show has potential to be great and oh my god does this show more then freaking live up to that very potential indeed. Now then i've talked about both of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are featured / presented to us in this particular / very episode in this very review and as such this episode gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Red Dwarf fandom wiki page and nowhere else and since I only went to the official Red Dwarf fandom wiki page and nowhere else for the images that I personally used in this very review. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Red Dwarf fandom wiki page if you guys want to use any of the images that are related to the Red Dwarf TV series since all of the images I personally found that re currently up and on the official Red Dwarf fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

The Mandalorian "Chapter 8: Redemption" Review

Star Wars fans it's been almost a month to the very day that I lost wrote about of The Mandalorian and well I just wanted to talk about an episode of this particular amazing show. Simply because this show is in all honesty that damn good that it demands that people talk about all the time or as they can do / as many times as is humanly possible and so join me as I review another episode of The Mandalorian with the episode in question being called simply just "Chapter 8: Redemption" enjoy.

The plot of this particular episode is The Mandalorian , Cara Dune ,  Greef Karga and IG-11 all find themselves trapped in a room with dozens of stormtroopers and the evil Moff Gideon outside of the room that our heroes are currently trapped in just waiting patiently for our freaking heroes to even try and to escape. Now then as for what I personally thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this episode was rather weak since they finish up the story that I summarized for you all within thirty minuets and so I would have liked it if this episode had a much stronger story to it but with that being said tho the set up for this particular episode is indeed a good one.

 

Starring in this particular episode is Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian and we also have this particular episodes director Taika Waititi as The Voice Of IG-11. Also starring in this particular episode is Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon , Gina Carano as Cara Dune , Carl Weathers as Greef Karga , Emily Swallow as Armorer , Jason Sudeikis as Bike Scout Trooper Number 1 , Adam Pally as Bike Scout Trooper Number 2 , Aidan Bertola as Young Din Djarin , Alexandra Manea as Din Djarin Mother , Bernard Bullen as Din Djarin Father and Brendan Wayne as Mandalorian Warrior.

Now then as for what I personally thought about the acting that's / that is featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I thought that the acting that's / that is featured / presented to us in this very / actual / particular episode was really good. With all of the cast that of characters that are appearing in this episode giving some truly wonderful performances and the fact that this episode has some really good acting in it shouldn't come as a complete shock to anyone since the acting that's in this very / particular TV show has always been really good and so it only makes sense that this particular episode follows / continues on with that very /particular trend in my opinion anyways / at least.

Doing the CGI effects for this particular episode are Happy Mushroom and Legacy Effects and while the show des usually have some really great CGI effects in this episode however the show / this episode has very mixed quality CGI effects. Which is a shame because the overall quality of the CGI effects in this episode and in this very show is usually very high and yet in this episode that have an obviously CGI Scout Trooper getting beaten up or possibly even killed by an obviously CGI droid / robot but when this particular episode does have some good CGI you really do know it because it really is a good CGI effect. 

Now then even tho i've been pretty freaking positive about this episode thus far there are some things about this particular episode that I personally didn't like with the first of which being the inclusion of The Armorer since the inclusion of The Armorer in this episode felt very forced and while it was needed the makers of both this show and the makers of this particular episode could have found a more organic way in which to include the character if The Armorer but that's just what I think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.

The other thing that I personally didn't like about this episode is the fact that we don't really get to see any interesting character combinations in this episode. This issue however is more understandable since the setup for this particular / very episode doesn't really allow for alot of interesting or even new character combinations but at the sae time I honestly do think that it would have been very interesting to have two characters who have never met each other before the events of this particular / very episode and have those exact same two characters have a full blown conversion with each other just to see how each character would react to what the other character is currently saying to them.

Now then I do very fully admit that I was shocked that both Disney and Lucasfilm allowed a character to be killed of and in this case the character in the question is the droid that is called simply just IG-11. Simply because you don't really associate the deaths of TV characters with Disney and with Lucasfilm now being fully under the Disney umbrella it wouldn't have been that / very surprising if Lucasfilm / Disney said no to killing of the character of IG-11 but I will fully admit that the death of IG-11 was a truly shocking and as well as being a truly sad ending for the character of IG-11 in my opinion anyways / at least.

This particular has / had a grand total running time of exactly forty six minuets and twenty six seconds and well I have to fully admit that that was the right amount of this very / this particular episode. Since there really isn't enough there in terms of plot or even story for that matter and as such  so it would have been very foolish to even attempt / try to get this episode to run anywhere close to a one hour running time in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then since this show is an action show after all and so that does infact mean that I have to actually talk  about the actual action that is featured / presented to us in the actual episode itself an if i'm being well and truly very honest here people the action that is featured / presented to us in this actual / very episode was indeed really freaking good. Since alot of the action that we see in this episode episode is just so freaking cool to see and at the end of the day that's what  you want in any action sequence in my opinion anyways / at least.

Overall this episode was a really good first season finale episode indeed since it was a very entertaining episode to watch even if it doesn't really take that much of a full advantage of it's actual setup. Now that i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very / particular episode in this very / particular review that means that this episode of The Mandalorian gets a 9.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in this very from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page and the official Star Wars fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that I actually used that are actually from this very episode being the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page just simply because there was a lot more of a verity of images that are from this actual episode to chose from and that simply wasn't the case with the official Star Wars fandom wiki page plus alot of the images that I personally used that are from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page (which are currently still up by the way) are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition. 

 

WWE Raw July 12th 2021 Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen WWE Raw has been pretty unwatchable as of late and well I have to wonder when will Raw get good or even watchable again. Well it turns that we won't have to wait until Raw returns to being infront of a live crowd for WWE Raw to start being good or even watchable again as this very / particular episode of Raw was actually very watchable and was also very good and so join me as I review the July 12th 2021 episode of the show that is called simply just "WWE Raw" aka "Raw" enjoy.

Now then the biggest storyline going on on Raw right now is the storyline feud between The All Mighty Bobby Lashley and Kofi Kingston and well I have to say that just based of off this episode this story line is really entertaining. Simply because it's something new and fresh both Bobby Lashley and Kofi Kingston have some great chemistry together. It seems that they are also starting a storyline between Alexa Bliss and Eva Marie this is despite the fact that Eva Marie is already in a storyline with Piper Niven and yeah as you can tell i'm not that sold on the possibility of an Alexa Bliss vs Eva Marie storyline just because it just seems pointless but her who knows it could turn out to be an actually good storyline but sadly only time will tell tho.

Just like how last Friday's episode of Smackdown was the last episode of Smackdown to be broadcast from the WWE Thunderdome. This episode of Raw is the last piece of WWE television that will be broadcast from the award winning and fan pleasing WWE Thunderdome since Money In The Bank 2021 will take place infront of a live crowd and from this weeks episode of Smackdown onwards both Raw and Smackdown will go back to being performed infront of a live crowd.

I have to say that as much as I like the WWE Thunderdome I cannot wait to see a live crowd back on WWE television on a weekly basis. Just simply because the WWE is a product that works at it's best when the WWE superstars have a live crowd to feed off of and that has been sorely missed for the past year and a half and I hope that once a live crowd is back watching WWE television on a weekly basis then hopefully the WWE creative team will up there efforts and make Raw a much better show and hopefully that will include writers who actually know about the product that they are currently writing for.

One of the characters / gimmicks i'm really starting to love right now is that of Nikki ASH just simply due to the fact of how entertaining Nikki ASH well and truly is. Yes we have seen the superhero character done before but that doesn't mean that the superhero type of character isn't entertaining because when it's done right like it is being done here then it can be very entertaining to watch and all of the segments that feature that character are also very entertaining to watch as well in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then there is a very huge chance that the commentators might have just gave away who is going to win the match at Money In the bank between Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. As the commentators for this particular episode of WWE / WWF Raw kept on bigging up Kofi Kingston and doing nothing to build up Bobby Lashley as someone who could quite possibly very easily beat Kofi Kingston and so if Bobby Lashley does indeed win at Money In The Bank then blame the Raw commentary team because they would well and truly deserve it in my opinion anyways / at least.

I will say that compared to more recent episodes of raw this particular episode of Raw is actually pretty good yes it does have it's faults which i'm currently in the process of talking but when you compare to issues that were present in more recent episodes then the issues that are in this episode don't seem as bad. I have no idea why this episode is actually pretty good since as far as I can tell there's been no change to the WWE creative team for Raw but whatever happened that made this show I hope that it continues to happen because my god do we need more good main WWE roster shows right freaking now.  

Now usually I personally find that the "Alexa's Playground" segments are usually fairly entertaining which is mostly because of the fact that I love horror films and this very version of Alexa Bliss is clearly a horror theme character but for some strange I just didn't enjoy this weeks "Alexa's Playground" segment. Which now that I think about it might be because it really served no purpose and wasn't actually creepy at all and so it was just there just to pad out the running time which is something that they didn't really need to do since they have some fairly long matches taking place on this weeks episode of WWE / WWF Raw.

Now then this particular episode of WWE / WWF Raw had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and five minuets and forty one seconds and well if i'm being really freaking honest here people this show didn't really need to be that long at all whatsoever in my opinion anyways / at least and they really did make alot of things long to reach that running time. Like for example they had a nearly two minute opening hype package just for the Bobby Lashley v Kofi Kingston feud which we don't really need reminding of since it's the biggest storyline on Raw right now plus like i said there was the pointless and aimless "Alexa's Playground" segment and so this show could have done without those two things it actually would have been a slightly better show in my very freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Now then since this is a weekly wrestling show and there are actual wrestling matches that are on this very wrestling show which means that I have to to actual talk about the actual wrestling that is featured / presented to us in this actual episode and well in all honesty the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this very episode wasn't that bad. However the issue is that alot of the time it wasn't good either take for example the women's fatal four way match which was between Nikki ASH , Naomi , Asuka and Alexa Bliss now on paper that match sounds awesome but there were a few botches in the match which were very clear as day to see and plus alot of the time it was just two or three women fighting in the ring with a fourth woman being knocked out of the ring for a shockingly long time and that brought down the quality of the match for me personally but when this show did have a good wrestling match my god did you really know bout it since the good wrestling matches that are on this show are well and truly phenomenal in my opinion anyways / at least. 

Overall this Money In The bank 2021 go home show was a lot better then the Hell In A Cell 2021 Raw go home show was but even so this episode is at best just above average but since we've spent so long with just straight up bad shows having a show that is at best just above average is a very good thing indeed in my opinion anyways / at least. Now then since i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode that means that this particular / very episode of WWE / WWF Raw gets a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images in this very review well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that I used in this very review being Google Images simply because alot of that are currently up for this particular episode that also currently up on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

WWF Smackdown April 12th 2001 Review

 

Wrestling fans i've covered alot of classic and current WWF PPV's and trust me when I say that I plan on reviewing alot more classic and current WWF PPV's in the future. However i've never one reviewed an episode of Smackdown and well that is something that is going to end right freaking now and well I have to say that this episode of WWF Smackdown is really freaking good and so join me as I review the April 12th 2001 of the WWF wrestling show that is called simply just "WWF Smackdown" and so enjoy the review everyone.

Of course the main plot line going across the entire WWF programming at this time is of course the formation of The Power Trip and well rather shocking only Triple H has a part to play in this episode of Smackdown. Since the show gets rid of Stone Cold Steve Austin by the thirty minuet mark and Stone Cold Steve Austin is barely mentioned or referenced for the res of this particular episode and while usually i'd say that you don't need to have seen the rest of the shows to fully understand what the storylines going into this show are in this case I think that you should watch some of the shows before watching this particular episode simply because the other storylines that are currently going in the WWF at this time period aren't really as defined as the story of the formation on The Power Trip is in my opinion anyways / at least.

This show does feature the classic circles set which is the set that I personally grew up watching and I have to say that seeing it again in this episode it filled me with a sense of nostalgia for this particular / very Smackdown set / stage and however with that being said this set / stage does look a little bit boring to me personally. Since there's nothing visually interesting about this particular set / stage which is a shame because this is an iconic set / stage and so it's just a shame that it doesn't quite hold up well enough today.

Now then this was actually one of the many episodes of WWF Smackdown that I actually watched as a kid heck I can even tell you what channel Smackdown used to air on in the UK as well as the day that Smackdown used to air on in the UK and what day that it used to air in the UK as well. However I strongly remember the main even for this particular episode being alot more epic then what it actually was but that might be because I was eleven years old when I first saw this particular episode of WWF Smackdown. 

Now then one of the few things that the commentary team for this particular episode of WWF Smackdown keep on reminding us of is the the fact that both Lita and Matt Hardy are at home nursing injuries which they sustained when Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin attacked Lita and Matt and Jeff Hardy with steel chairs on the previous episode of WWF Raw Is War. This is really something that they didn't really need to do because we already have not one but two video packages showing us what happens and so we don't really need to hear the commentary team reminding us of the attack every five minuets or so.

The other thing that they kept on bringing up on / in this particular episode was the failed American football league the XFL. Which was something that I personally just found to be hilarious simply because they kept on saying how the XFL was having a great first season and yet it wasn't it just simply wasn't since the ratings for the XFL were so bad that the league was cancelled after it's first season and it would be brought back until 2018 where it failed again and so here's hoping that Dwayne Johnson has some much more better luck with the XFL then Vince McMahon ever did.

Now then even tho i've been fairly positive about this particular episode of WWE /WWF Smackdown thus far there are some thing that I personally didn't like about the show. Like for example I didn't like the fact that apart from the main event alot of what we see in this show is just basically filler which is a shame because they had alot of very talented wrestlers working on this very show and yet alot of them are given nothing to do or even nothing to work with which when you have a card that's as good as the one that this show has having alot of wrestlers just doing nothing is not a good thing at all in my opinion anyways / at least.

I will admit that it was nice seeing very big name stars appearing on Smackdown simply because even tho guys like Roman Reigns and Edge among many others are big name stars they just simply aren't on the level of Triple H in his prime or even Stone Cold Steve Austin in this prime or even Jeff freaking Hardy in his prime and so it was good to see those guys appearing on this particular episode of WWF Smackdown. As it makes WWF Smackdown seem like a big deal and plus it gives them a chance to carry on with any storylines that might have started on WWF Raw Is War and that kind of synergy is something that you just don't see in todays WWE / WWF product but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then this particular episode of WWE / WWF Smackdown has / had a grand total running time of one hour and twenty seven minuets and forty four seconds and well if i'm being really freaking honest here that running time really did effect the quality of the show for me personally. Since everything just felt like that it was on fast forward and as such it felt like that there was no room to breathe or to catch a breath because everything was moving that fast and as such I really do wish that this particular episode of WWE / WWF Smackdown was alot closer to two hours since then the audience would be able to catch their breath alot easier and storylines would then be allowed to develop at a more naturel pace but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then since is a wrestling show and that thus that means that there are wrestling matches that are to be found on this wrestling show and so that means that I have t actually talk about the wrestling that are featured / presented to us on this actual wrestling show and well the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this wrestling show is really good. However I did notice at least a botches which are in the Test Vs Val Venis match with the first one being when the rest of the The Right To Censor start attacking Test on the outside you can quite clearly see The GoodFather not actually connecting with Test and the second one being when Bull Buchanan tries to a scissors kick to test on the outside and you can just tell that he didn't do the move right because Bull Buchanan doesn't land how you normally would land when doing a scissors kick and so if anything he lands like you normally would when your performing a leg drop.

Overall this wasn't a bad episode per say infact it was one that I had alot of fun watching but at the same time I do wish that pretty much all of the matches that were on the card for this particular episode could have gone on bit longer and infact apart from the main event none of the matches that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode last longer then four minuets with the main event lasting just over eight minuets. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this particular episode that means that this particular episode gets a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this particular episode of WWE / WWF Smackdown being Google Images just simply due to how high quality and how high definition the mages that are to do with the particular episode and that are currently up on Google Images well and truly are.
