WWE Night of Champions: Results & Star Ratings
(Ratings out of five stars, no half-stars.) Seth Rollins def. AJ Styles: 4**** The disappointing part of this match is that it was a few moments away from being a five-star affair. The biggest momentum-halting instance was when Seth Rollins did his finishing move to AJ's... hand? The hand hadn't been much of a factor before this, so it came out of nowhere and didn't really play into the finish.

The Little Mermaid
Now I am someone who has constantly been disappointed by Disney’s live action remakes. Cinderella was magical, Beauty and the Beast was mediocre at best, the Lion King was simply terrible and here comes the Little Mermaid. My favorite Disney princess movie as a child. I used to make my family call me Ariel, I wouldn’t respond to my name. I was fully convinced that I was going to be a Mermaid when I grew up. The minute the trailer was released I started crying. I’ve been a blubbering mess at every trailer I’ve seen and I truly couldn’t wait for this movie.

The 10 Worst Inmates From 'Orange is the New Black'
Orange is the New Black remains to be one of the most popular series in Netflix history despite being over since 2019. The prison comedy/drama series based off real-life ex-inmate, Piper Kerman, lasted on the streaming service for 7 seasons. Among those seasons we witnessed love, murder, riots, fights, betrayal, sex, and lots and lots of drama. You can't have all of those things without some characters you loved to hate, can you?

Gilmore Girls
One of the most popular shows ever is irrefutably a character driven story, that said I think one of the best ways to study character driven stories is by studying their relationships. Now before we dive in I am going to point out now that I will also be giving my opinion on the things that happen in the show, some of the content did not age well and I will not pretend it did. Nothing is exempt from criticism and acting like the thing you like is beyond analysis is dense and useless so as an avid fan of the show I will be criticizing it and it's characters. Also since this show centers around the characters' relationships, I will be talking about each relationship as a whole as the season progresses which means we will keep bouncing back and forth throughout the season.

SuperWHOLock
Now in the first article I wrote about this re-watch I showed a personal attachment to certain episodes, but this season is so much harder because the dynamic between Tennant and Piper and their chemistry is so so beautiful to watch that I simply love and adore every single episode of them together.
