WWE Bad Blood 2024
Eh, it started off with a really good first match and then just went downhill for me from there. The women's division continues to be horribly underutilized with the same couple of people always being used so there's little reason to give a shit for the stories or the matches, and the one of the two women's matches that was supposed to be a payoff to an actually interesting story ended with a horrific botch that just ruined the whole thing. It also doesn't help that of the 5 matches on the card, 4 of them involved interference so then it just feels like anything happening before someone outside the match gets involved doesn't matter because the audience isn't going to expect a finish to happen when there's suspicion (and confirmation) of interference happening. This isn't the first PLE to do a ton of this either so now the expectation is that interference is very likely to happen so may as well not pay attention to anything until that happens because it isn't like you'll miss anything important.

Miracle in a Test Tube -- As Seen On TV
So, BobbyBroccoli has come out with another banger of a documentary, and its on a subject that, within 3 minutes of the video playing, I knew exactly the tragedy that was about to unfold. Dreams shattered, hopes ruined, legacies destroyed. The pipe dream that seemed to be just on the cusp of reality.
This is the story of Cold Fusion.
And you know how it ends. But do you know how it begins?

Last thing I watched was the Xbox Partner Preview.

Cold Fusion is known as perhaps the greatest scientific hoax of the 20th century. It promised to be the savior of humanity and the end of the Energy Crisis while standard "hot" fusion was floundering. When all was said and done, it trampled out careers, destroyed lives, and ruined the legacies of the two men at the helm. It was a travesty that would have ramifications that we are still dealing with. Simply put, it's probably the worst scientific "discovery" ever made in the 80s.

Dang, I can't believe I've never really heard anything about it before. Obviously I'm only going by what you wrote but it doesn't sound like a bad thing it destroyed the legacies of the two men who founded it if the whole thing was bullshit.
RE: Current/Last Thing You Watched? - Maniakkid25 - Oct 18th, 2024
The problem is it didn't just destroy the legacy of two men. As with almost anything in life, things just aren't that simple. I do highly recommend watching the series when it's finished (only Part 1 is posted right now, and we're anticipating a three part documentary), because no matter where this goes, it will surprise you where the story turns up.

Like I do everyday I'm watching Twitch; what I didn't expect was to be watching my main streamer playing "Revenge of the Colon" tonight. It's uh... certainly an interesting game so far. Definitely has deep gameplay if nothing else.

Currently watching Only Connect - although, I only saw the last half of it, since I got home halfway through it

Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War | Episode 32: The Holy Newborn
I'm loving the subtle changes the anime continues to make that fixes some of the weaknesses of the manga. I have to say though that Orihime's outfit will probably never not look ridiculous every time I see her in a scene.
