The end of V?
I've been quite enjoying the reimagined version of V but yesterdays episode was supposed to be the last.
The only issue there is so much was left open.
The Earth and most of its occupants were Blissed but Erica and the Project Ares cabal were safe and untouched leaving some resistance still left.
Apparently the pull-out shot that showed tons more ships arriving was supposed to let us know The Visitors had conquered Earth. My problem there is Bliss wears off and no self respecting human is going to sit on their hands and let a bunch of aliens take our planet.
They either have to make 1 final special to resolve the fates of ALL the characters or make season 3.

My TNA Catch-up, Victory Road PPV 2011
Its unfair to judge an entire PPV on one match so heres a quicky review of what TNA put on offer this weekend.
Bully Ray vs Tommy Dreamer - Ray made it no DQ, shades of classic EC Dub during the match. Tommy won off the 3D with an assist from Devon after Devons sons provided a distraction from the ramp.
Knockout Tag Championship, Angelina Love & Winter vs Sarita & Rosita - Its my 1st time seeing Rosita (imported from CMLL so a good background there) & Winter (former WWE worker Katy Leah) work in TNA as I don't watch Impact any more (because its shit). Not a bad match but it could have done without the gimmick finish. Sarita & Rosita win after failed interference from Velvet Sky as Sarita turned over a small package. Apart from the crappy finish this was a pretty decent match.
First Blood Match, Hernandez vs Matt Morgan - With Morgans reputation for not bumping & hating putting others over I felt this was always going one way only. Someone should tell Taz that a ref wouldn't kick a paying member of the audience (not unless he wanted to end TNA with a lawsuit) so whoever dived into the ring was an obvious plant, the fact it set up Hernandez to use the chain made it even more of an obvious work. If Hernandez was doing a blade job when he was face down in his own corner it looked VERY sloppy, the whole "squirting fake blood" was a stupid idea as was Brian Hebner getting bumped off camera. Hernandez got the win after 2nd Ref Jackson James saw the fake blood on Morgan. Piss poor gimmick finish.
X Division Championship Ultimate X Match, Kazarian vs Robbie E vs Max Buck vs Jeremy Buck - Not a bad match, not exactly spot heavy but some good aerials. Kazarian retained his title. Possibly setting up for Generation Me to feud and split up too at the end.
Tag Team Championship, Ink Inc vs Beer Money - Pretty dull spot free match where Beer Money retained their titles. Also seemed to be another set-up for Ink Inc to split as well.
AJ Styles vs Matt Hardy - Hardy looked a bit weird around the eyes in his pre-match interview, kinda drunk or drugged out. Whatever made him squint like that, it didn't look good for Matt. Exactly what is this issue with Matt Hardy & his weight? Last PPV he looked slim(ish) & pretty ripped, now he looks flabby around the edges again like he hasn't been training. Matt was a passenger for most of this match with 90% of the spots & bumps taken by Styles, AJ took the win off a Pele into a Spiral Tap. Despite recently coming back from an injury Styles gave an excellent account of himself.
#1 Contenders Match, RVD vs Mr Anderson - Not a great match that ended in a double count out after Anderson took a nasty fall & hit his head on the concrete after missing the ring mats.
World Heavyweight Championship, Jeff Hardy vs Sting - Well this is the match everyone is talking about and for all the wrong reasons. Jeff took a long time to finally come out to his music & stumbled & staggered his way to the ring. During Stings entrance Ref Brian Hebner said something to SoCal Val, Jeremy Borash really ran out the introductions as long as he could which allowed Eric Bischoff time to invent something then get himself to the ring.
Ignore what he's saying on the mic about "The Network", that was just the cover to pass whatever message to Jeff to take a fast dive.

Again ignore Bischoff asking Sting to shake his hand, yet another smokescreen to pass a similar message to Sting to put Jeff down as fast as he can. No clue if the punch & stamp on Bischoff were kayfabe or not but he looked in genuine pain. Here's Stings entire offence from start to finish - Headlock, kick, axehandle, punch, Scorpion Deathdrop.
Ring the bell, Sting is still champ. Yes, Jeff did ask about him kicking out. Yes Brian did say nope, never gonna happen. By the way, exactly what are the 2 blood marks that look like a vampire bite on the right side of Stings neck as he leaves? And if you are curious why Sting says "I agree" the fans were chanting "This is bullshit".
With 5 full minutes of airtime to fill the colour desk had to review the whole PPV to fill the dead air.
If this isn't what kills TNA then they can't be killed. Its going to take a lot to get TNA out of this hole, I recommend they all drop their spades.
