The most recent two.
The major points are that TNA are doing that thing they do sometimes where you see the green shoots of something good and you want them to do it right but you know they're not going to.
The other thing is that we've gone from TNA the land where they take four weeks to do one week's worth of angle to TNA the sugar rush version. Like Sabin's out of nowhere heel turn, Aries's out of nowhere face turn and the what the heck is going on with Magnus and Sting. Dear TNA, there is a happy medium somewhere. Please seek it. Post-haste.
I also think the recent speed of change has really short-changed Aces and Eights. They already looked weak because TNA never gave them longer than 1 week to really be the big evil people that beat everyone but now Dixie is the big bad and Bully Ray just seems like an afterthought. Because Magnus is probably going to turn heel and be Dixie's corporate champion* and Aces and Eights are falling apart, they seem to have got nothing for the Samoa Joe to do so he's basically become a wandering joker card. Which if it was deliberate I wouldn't mind. I am all for "My name isFinlayJoe and I love to fight".
I feel I am being mean, particularly about the second of the two Impacts which featured a good Hardy vs Aries match, a fun bit with EY, Joseph Parks, ODB and BroManz which lead to Lei'D Tapa coming out and murderising poor ODB.
It also had this ridiculous and ridiculously brilliant segment care of EGO - I love them so very much.
*yeah, it's not that the angle is a total rip off yet, it's just blatantly heading there.

Also, how is Lei'D Tapa in the ring? 'Cause she looks badass as fuck in pics I've seen.

Lei'D Tapa is super-green. From her Gutcheck video she's only been wrestling in any capacity for 3 years. So occasionally she goes clunk. Then again she's 5 foot 11 and about twice the size of everyone who isn't ODB so the giant terrifying terror gimmick they've given her really works and hides the occasional clunk quite well.
This is her murderising ODB, which I think shows the pluses and the minuses quite well - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8NzGs5l1yk Obviously the move looks more like death when she does it on Velvet Sky.
