Ah, the nonjas are going to remain unexplained for the time being. I have to assume they just needed a way to keep Sting off TV for a while. That's the annoying thing about TNA, you have to assume the existence of RL backstage in order for anything to make sense, and I don't want RL intruding on wrestling.

Please excuse me while I chant Austin Aries, loudly, for a long time. Option C all the way.

I say this with respect and love, but damn it, I want to punch Roode in the mouth.

Daniels is so much fun. Evil fun.

I really do think they're trying to turn AJ heel.

Magnus being evil is fun at least. I assume he's a bad guy again, given that he's "the arrogant Brit" for the first time in months. Heel face revolving door has nothing on TNA.

As I suspected, they're giving the GutCheck girly Tara/Victoria to wrestle, which, barring Sarita, is probably the best possible choice.

The Pope's music is fantastic (see many previous comments re: oh the sentences one accidentally writes when D'Angelo Dinero is in the vicinity).

Dear TNA, you know what, of all the companies that get to play "it's a hard life for a female wrestler", you're not the one I'd choose.
Also - apparently I'm to feel terrible for the knockouts with children because they have to spend so much time away from them. I'd probably be more sympathetic if, you know, I hadn't spent large chunks of my childhood away from my Mum because there were no jobs in St. Helens. Sacrifices, everyone makes them.

Also, I'm aware a lady doesn't comment, but has Mickie inflated herself a little furhter. It's either that, or that's one heck of a new outfit.

Dear lord, please don't drag out the angle that will not end any further, especially with yet more people who can't act.

It turns out Dixie was trying to help someone out. There was no affair. There was no point to this angle other than Daniels will always make something seem worse than it is. This is also annoying, because oh that wasted time.


Thank goodness for BBC Iplayer because they're clashing the Patrick Stewart Macbeth (which also has Scott Handy as a random [possibly Malcolm, if he is, I shall have to get this on DVD] [[OMG he is playing Malcolm!!]]) with TNA. That being said, dear Shakespeare directors, no more faux-Third Reich. Really. Really. Bored now.

Actually judging from a lot of the other imagery they're going to Soviet, not Nazi. I'm not sure that's any better, especially as they're handling it with the usual subtlety.

Also, dear director, if you cross cast probably Caithness, and then still have Banquo declaim that he can't tell a woman about Duncan's murder, after he's chased now female Caithness into the room to look for herself, it doesn't work.

It's even funnier when probably Caithness is Banquo's wife. I've looked it up, she actually got Lennox's bits.

Also, dear farking southerners, it doesn't matter that the place is actually pronounced Scoone. If you say it like that, the rhyme scheme doesn't work. In the play, it's pronounced 'scone' to rhyme with 'one'. Try not to break Shakespeare.

Turning AJ heel never quite works.

Wait, so there's no affair? What?

I'm not sure if they were even trying to. The whole thing has turning into an absolute mess. For the past couple of weeks, AJ's head has allegedly not been in the game. Daniels and Kaz have been lurking evily and taunting. Everyone has been yelling at AJ who has been stomping around like a stompy thing.

At one point, AJ gets thumped by Dixie's husband, and everyone agrees that this is perfectly reasonable in the circumstances.

AJ and Dixie talk to each other, and Dixie suggests coming clean but AJ doesn't want to. At this point I was already reasonably sure that the secret wasn't an affair, but I was guessing that AJ was either secretly Dixie's son, or he was acting as a sperm donor, or something.

This drags on for another two weeks*. Last week they said they'd reveal it this week, and spent the entire program dithering (although Anderson adorably called Daniels out on open fight night for upsetting AJ, while Magnus's sort of heel turn was confirmed when he called out AJ for being a home-wrecker).

Eventually Dixie and AJ come out, and are about to lie through their teeth, but the lady they've been helping comes out to clear their names (seriously, at this point they've become proper, old fashioned heroes, willing to let their good names get tarnished for the good of a stranger). Unfortunately, no one in said segment can act well enough to carry it.

*As an aside, I don't think I'd be quite so grr argh if it hadn't been so drawn out.
