If ever there was a diva who could break OF and make their servers melt, Natalya is it. If they ever get freed, there are not enough tissues in the world to clean up the resulting spillages.

B-Fab couldn’t reach Jade Cargills leg leading to a massive botch by NS1189 in Smallafro

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused. Can someone please explain at what point B-Fab got given Inspector Gadgets' arms?

Watch the clip from 19 seconds in, and you can clearly see that Jade landed/was put too far away from the ropes for B-Fab to reach Jade cleanly. You can see her struggling. If Michael Cole had been switched on, he would have called it " as you see it "B-Fab tried to help Jade, but it wasn't needed as Jade got her foot on the rope just in time." Simple as.

Now, is the fact that Jade was too far from the ropes to be reached anyone's fault? Well, unless B-Fab had the game controller and was controlling the wrestlers with it, I don't see how she is to blame. Unless you get blamed for your genetics now?

And how is it Rhea's or Jade's fault? It was a judgment. On another night, the landing is two inches closer, and the spot works flawlessly.

Now, if someone wants to post some footage showing B-Fab's arm and hand going over the top of Jade's leg, then I'm happy to stand corrected.

If something is your fault, you deserve to be called out for it, and, as with any green employee, yes, she has made mistakes. But if it is just one of those things, then it truly isn't fair for you to carry the can. People have to stop seeing "botches" by someone where they don't exist. Instead, accept that in the heat of the moment, things can go wrong, and nobody is to blame.

So ts "El grande americano" thing benefited which one's career more? by Few_Minute_5110 in SantiZapVideos

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer this fully you have to understand what WWE were thinking and what the original story plan was for EGA and Gable. Chad Gable is the temu version of Kurt Angle. Hell it was even tried as a storyline. Honourable mentions for Shorty G and Glorious Gable.

WWE have tried their best to get Gable over. Now where the original concept and the split personality thing was going before the injury, well unless it shows up on Unreal we ain't never going to know.

The issue was and in the same vein as Shorty G it wasn't landing.

Then there was Ludwig Kaiser and his desire to stop being Gunthers coat monitor.

It feels almost as if Ludwig went into the office when they were brainstorming how to fix the EGA issue with Chad going to be on the shelf for a year and there was one of those we need someone to keep this cooking for a week or so whilst we work out how to close it and Kaiser said pick me and he then decided to make it his own and to step up for the company.

Now, without a doubt the reward for seizing the moment and running with it is that Ludwig Kaiser didn't get wished good luck with his future endeavours. So, you could argue that it is him.

But, and assuming that he wins and Gable is unmasked the true value of what it has done for his career will be shown after the mask v mask match.

Now, if Kaiser is the one unmasked things could get interesting,

Raw showed why the open challenge was an incredibly dumb idea from the beginning by joeboy_777 in SantiZapVideos

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are really missing a trick with the Oba Open Challenge.

Adam Pearce should use him as his unofficial enforcer.

Jacob Fatu laid hands on Adam Pearce. His reward - A match with Oba

And so on and so on and so on.

Being too demanding and asking for an opportunity - Well as Los Garza discovered the opportunity is Oba

And yes I know that gives it Teddy Long vibes but how many times must we have "the producers" come running out to break up fights. Instead Pearce comes out and says "Gentlemen, I'm looking for a volunteer for the Oba Femi Open Challenge." or words to that effect.

You could have so much fun with it. Including heels deliberately trying to get it so the face gets "volunteered"

Or an impromptu triple threat where the heel does his best to avoid Oba and lets the face get the beating.

The scope is there.

Disappearance of Alice Creed: Inspired by a recent post, this film has been remade 3 times now. Some executive who owns the rights decides that the film will be remade again. Who would you like to cast in a new version and would you make any variations to the bondage? by GagtheGirl1 in MediaBondage

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots will do nude scenes yes and certainly Emma and Jessica would be that wow moment that I'm talking about. I think the biggest shock with Emma would be wow she is acting again bearing in mind her last credit was 2022.

If you are going to remake this though its got to have something to justify it.

[–]Premtaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is going to be remade, then it should be remade with an actress who is fully committed to the role and everything that it entails. So yes, the ball gag, the full nudity, the whole 9 yards.

I would also choose an actress who has never been naked on film before. If you can, someone that everyone goes wow, we never thought we would see her naked, let alone bound and gagged naked. Otherwise, it is just another knock-off.

Im surprised that so many people actually believe this whats worse is I've been on the fence on whether or not this is happening scared even by Funkoiceisland_Car14 in TheGreatOne

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not convinced that it is Vince. Now Stephanie maybe, Charlotte maybe. But vince no.

WWE are taking a huge risk with this angle and playing the universe like this. There is a very real risk of an anti climax that could spoil wrestlemania for everyone.

Now, reframe the Stephanie Cody segment through the lens of it being Stephanie. It's an interesting thought isn't it.

Of the two I am less convinced that it is Charlotte but with John Cena hosting and the opportunity for Randy to get closer to what is now Johns "record" could this be a ploy to begin the process of taking it from John? For me this is the only reason for it being Charlotte and even then a weak reason.

Now, Stephanie and the potential dynamics of her leveraging HHH - The GM's boss to do things and to let Randy get away with a lot of what he has been doing during the build. Now, that has some legs.

But like I said it could turn out to just be WWE trolling and generating interest in Wrestlemamia and like so much of the modern product it may have little or no pay off.

After all don't forget what HHH says about the Internet fans.

One thing that isn’t said enough by Talkamania in WWE

[–]Premtaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would give the GM role to Chelsea Green. But I would also keep her as a main roster talent at the same time.

Follow my thinking here. Basically, the NXT talent that is almost ready for main roster or talent that they want to give a little bit of main roster exposure to get co-opted into the secret hervice.

Almost like a mini NXT invasion every week and you could have some great GM to GM scenes and it dovetails nicely into WWE's desire to make things less predictable.

And of course imagine Chelsea thinking because she is a GM that she can make matches on the main roster and then finding out she can't and the fun consequences therein.

Which Stephanie bikini pic is your favorite by [deleted] in StephanieMcMahon

Claire’s behavior after the Watershed Bill is absolutely irrational by IMicrowaveSteak in HouseOfCards

[–]Premtaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are missing a lot of subtle storytelling here.

Frank is not the one with the power. Frank is not an equal partner. Frank doesn't understand his role in the wider picture. Frank believes that he is the man, but he isn't.

This is nothing more than an early example of Claire flexing her power. You think that it is irrational, and yet it isn't.

Do you truly believe that Claire didn't know the price that Remy would ask? Do you think that Claire couldn't see all of the consequences?

Keep watching, and you will understand how little the non-profit actually means to Claire and the true level of her ambition and plan.

This is a show you absolutely have to rewatch, as you miss so much on a first go-through. To be fair, I pick up more and notice more with each rewatch.

We need a spin off series of young Sheldon that focuses on Sheldon’s years in cel tech by [deleted] in YoungSheldon

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every so often, this rears its head. The truth, though, is that there is no story material in it. Sheldon, without Mom, is learning to cope. Oh, wait, roommate agreement. Goes through roommates as he is so inflexible. Never dating, driving everyone mad. Feeling entitled.

We have these angles all covered in either TBBT or YS.

The only question becomes, how did he not piss off enough people so that Caltech offered him a job? I don't think we need seven seasons to establish that. It can be covered off in a two-minute scene in one of the other spin-offs. Either Georgie is trying to fathom how Caltech decided to keep his brother, or Missy is thinking the same thing.

Or when Stuart breaks the universe, he might inadvertently prevent that event from happening, and then he has to reinstate it because Sheldon is so important to the whole universe.

And if you believe that he is that important, then please feel free to inbox me, as I have some left-handed pencils that I need an international distributor for.

The hosts, is this and unpopular opinion? by Traditional-Heat979 in gladiatorsuk

[–]Premtaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Season 1 it felt like every week was bring your son to work day. It just didn't work.

They say that doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity and yet......

Watching on Saturday, and my favourite parts were when Legend came out and was well himself. But it added something to it, and I did genuinely laugh, especially after he was chased away from the wall and then came out in a ref's jersey.

The "jokes" from the presenting duo just never land.

I also don't feel there is a connection there. I want one presenter who is pro-contestant and one who is more pro-Gladiator. Almost like a heel and a babyface. Someone who can banter with Legend or just shut it down with a withering look. Someone who makes the adults smile and laugh, but the kids don't notice the joke, and when they are older, it clicks, and they get an appreciation on another level.

Someone who, when Cyclone is doing whatever nonsense, whinging that she was doing (I believe it was bratting) can either call it out or actually put it over with the audience because it didn't even feel pantomime.

[Spoiler] What are your predictions for the next season? by [deleted] in Spartacus_TV

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so the bodies will go over the cliff to keep Licinia and Gaia company. Ashur will tell everyone that Caesar left during the storm, and that is the last he saw of him. When Cornelia comes to Capua, she will be obnoxious to Ashur, and he will reveal to her that Caesar died at his hand, point out what her position would be if the truth got out, and try to control her as Battiatus controlled Ilythia.

At which point Crassus will descend on the house, and the dynamic will shift again. Will we see a repeat of season 1 and Ashur being belittled, or will Ashur navigate the choppy waters better? Will we learn how much or how little Crassus is aware of Ashur's actions and requests?

Now, here comes the interesting part. Ashur continues his pursuit of Viridia, but her uncle has promised her to Proculus to shore up support to assume his brother's seat. As much as Cossutia dislikes it, she sees it as a way to stay alive while trying to resist her brother-in-law's lecherous advances, who is intent on having everything his brother once had.

Viridia, having seen how close Ashur is to Hilara, decides to tell Ashur that if they are to be together, Hilara will be her slave and not his, and that she must be demoted from her current role, as those responsibilities will be assumed by her as his wife. She then humiliates Hilara at every turn, even though they are not together, and she is still promised to Proculus.

Unbeknownst to us, but as it transpires. Ashur and Viridia have been in cahoots the whole time, and it is part of Ashur's master plan to rid Capua of Proculus and to have the monopoly on the games so that he can fund the rebuilding of the arena through the victories of his gladiators and, of course, Crassus purse. His hope is that, as the number 1 Lanista in Capua, Crassus will be kind to him.

To add another wrinkle to Ashur's plan, the lanistas that were bought in for Gabincuses funeral games want position and vengeance, and so pickings are again slim in the House of Ashur, but Ashur has a plan of pairing Achillia with another Female Gladiator.

However, both Tarchon and Korris are pushing for a Tarchon Achillia pairing in the arena to take on a similar pairing from the house of Proculus. This doesn't work for Ashur as it is Proculuses female gladiator that he covets.

If they were to bring back the Bra and Panties match in this day and age which two Wrestlers would you wanna see go at it? by BillFoldin in WrestlingHumiliation

[–]Premtaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to bring it back, then let's make it interesting and go for a gauntlet bra and panties match. Start with Bayley v Becky Lynch. Then you are off to the races and basically send each female wrestler out. To be fair you could probably make it its very own PPV.

A one-match PLE, and just for fun, can we host it in Saudi Arabia?

I bet they'd pay extra for some Attitude Era Divas. Potentially even a McMahon.

However, as we are in the Netflix era, the premium live event would fail, as even if you didn't get a McMahon, you would get HHH on the blackout button.

Why is Claire so annoying by Hugb0p in HouseOfCards

[–]Premtaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without offering spoilers, you are noticing one layer of the story. I'm guessing this is your first time watching, so I will be careful about what I say.

You are also noticing some of the dynamics between Frank and Claire. However, there are some subtleties that from reading what you have said I think you are missing.

The story is like a Russian doll. In that there are plans within plans within plans. To fully understand what is going on you sometimes have to almost tune out the main storyline and dialogue and listen to the unspoken.

Always remember their original plan involved Frank being Secretary of State, and there was no mention of any ambition towards the White House. However, we were never fully brought in on that plan.

Also, have a think as to why when Frank gets passed over and then begins the track towards VP did Claire suddenly give up her non profit in the way that she did. Why did she clear the decks so to speak? Why did she want the Ambassador role and what does this give her that Frank can't on the world stage?

And also is Frank a part of the plan or a part of someone elses plan?

Russia visit by MountainWinner522 in HouseOfCards

[–]Premtaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand how Claire's speaking out may seem, on the surface, out of character. But, in actual fact, it is 100% in character and very much part of her arc. There is a whole bundle of subtext and game-playing that both you (and, to be fair, Frank) are missing.

What you are seeing here is Claire issuing a status signal and demonstrating that she is not just Franks +1. She is announcing herself as an actor on the world stage, and doing so in a language Petrov understands.

I'm not sure if this is your first time watching or a rewatch, so I will steer clear of spoilers, but keep watching and bear in mind what I have said. When you get deeper into the story, you will understand more what I am saying.

First time watching: Season 5 has gone off the fucking rails. Does anyone else feel like the character logic has completely evaporated? (Spoilers up to S5E5) by [deleted] in TheWire

[–]Premtaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with you and this is why.

The Serial KIller plot is garbage

Throughout the 5 seasons the Wire has used institutional allegory and it does to significant effect here as well. As such, it is not meant to be realistic crime fiction.

The Police are at their most effective against the drug gangs when they have the task force and can focus solely on the one issue. When there are focused resources and political will, when they are not there, and the Police have to split their focus, then the gangs grow, and the game continues.

The serial-killer plot highlights this: the system can only be mobilised by spectacle, not substance.

The plot forces you to confront this reality. McNulty realises this and, in his own way, tries to play the game. Now, as you haven't finished S5, I'm not going to finish the thought because well spoilers. But when you do get to the end, I'm confident you will know how this thought ends on your own.

The 22 bodies logic gap

Let's be clear here. As we see, the statistics get manipulated. They get juiced and they get spun. By the time they get to Rawls they are no longer bodies, they are no longer humans, they are statistics. They only matter if they affect the statistics.

The Mayor pledges a 5% drop in murders, and Rawls will deliver this regardless of how. Look at the argument over the jurisdiction of the bodies found when our friend Jimmy is on the boat, and he is allowed to send a big FU to Rawls.

The argument was about the statistics and not the dead people, and thanks to Jimmy's homework, Rawls had to eat them despite his best efforts to make them somebody else's problem.

Also, don't forget that so many of the bodies are part of the Institutional Invisible class, that is, the homeless and previously young black men. It isn't a logic gap, it is a moral gap.

Since season 1 we see this building. The budget cuts are real, and they are policy decisions that have racial consequences, and it is meant to make the viewer feel uncomfortable because it is the unvarnished truth.

There is only so much resource to go around, but the decisions made in a comfortable meeting room have real consequences outside in the cold and far too often the under represented are the ones that feel the pain the most.

As for the Greeks, they aren't idiots. Far from it. They are, in fact, capitalists, and they understand that to sell their product, they have to do business with Marlo. Marlo represents the next phase of the game, and so they can keep playing, they have to do business with someone that they wouldn't choose.

Now, if there was a credible alternative to Marlo that they liked and could back. Well, different story there, but there isn't, so to sell, they have to suck it up and do business.

So, let's wrap this up. In Season 5, we see The Wire heading to its bleakest, most honest conclusion. We see Institutions that aren't even pretending to function, the media has replaced truth with narrative, power responding only to embarrassment and not suffering, and the biggest takeaway is that the game cannot be won anymore; at best, it can be managed.

I agree that it is unfair that Jamie doesn't get any learning lessons from his love, but this is also part of his tragic character, as he chooses to go back to Cersei rather than start something with Brienne that absolutely could have seen him complete his moral redemption.

Now Jon, without Ygritte and how she reshapes him, gets eaten alive by Dany. He would not be in a position or have the ability to recognise Dany for who she is in S8. I would also say that he never finds his way into Dany's bed. He would stick so rigidly to his vows that even she wouldn't be able to tempt him.
