The Possible Implications of Sonya Deville's Return to NXT
The latest edition of NXT was the show's season premiere; first off, I want to say that I actually love the concept of a season premiere of a show that never has reruns. Secondly, I did enjoy Raw and SmackDown's season premieres as well, which saw a lot of shock returns, and shake-ups in the announce teams, with the clear indication that three-person booth will no longer be a thing. In the case of NXT, the interesting shake-up took place inside their Women's Division--more specifically, the top of it.

Villainess Review: Carla (Quantum Leap)
I am old enough to remember NBC's original Quantum Leap series, which starred Scott Bakula as the main protagonist, Dr. Sam Beckett, and Dean Stockwell as Al Calavicci. I still haven't watched the original, but when I learned about a reboot, I was in. The reboot series, which premiered on September 19, 2022, stars Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song, the central character who is in the same role as Bakula's Sam Beckett, and he is assisted by a hologram of his fiancee, Addison (who is similar to Stockwell's Al Calavicci). I still have the emotions I felt when the premiere made a tribute to Dean Stockwell, who passed away last year, but even so, I was still looking for that one-shot central villainess. It only took four weeks, but we have one!

NFL Week 5 Recap: Quarterbacks Be Trippin'
The theme of Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season seemed to be quarterback screw-ups, whether it's a series of bad decisions, or just one colossal foul-up. If there is one QB who really shifted things with his mental mistake, it has to be Kyler Murray. Oh man, this one hurts. A couple of months ago, I wrote a story about the Arizona Cardinals attempting to force a "homework clause" on Murray as part of his contract, which stated that he had to watch four hours of game film a day. Like a lot of fans, I thought it was insulting, because he's too talented to be subjected to this sort of thing.

2022 Division Series Preview
I do love the Division Series, which once served as the opening round of the MLB Postseason. The League Division Series (LDS) officially debuted in the 1995 season, and has been played under a best-of-five format ever since. From 1995 until 2011, the Division Series marked the beginning of the postseason, with three wins advancing the two winners in each league to the League Championship Series (LCS). Since 2012, the LDS is the second round after the Wild Card Game (now the Wild Card Series), and the LDS means, as Jim Ross often says, "Business is about to pick up."

CFL Week 18 Recap: Giving Thanks
Week 18 of the CFL season saw the league celebrate the final holiday of the regular season: Canadian Thanksgiving. As we all know, in Canada, the Thanksgiving holiday falls on the second Monday in October, and similar to Americans, they do celebrate with turkey and football. Entering Canada's Thanksgiving Weekend, a few teams could lock up playoff spots and a first-round bye, while two others faced elimination. The scenarios for Week 18 were as follows:

Villainess Review: Sofia Aquino (Alone in the Dark)
The hits just keep on coming from Tubi! After a Sunday filled with football, postseason baseball, and some good TV, I decided to head to Tubi to check out their latest original flick, Alone in the Dark. This latest Lifetime-esque film centers on Bri Collins, who is serving a year of house arrest due to being convicted as an accessory to crimes committed by her ex-husband, Michael Miller, though she was only charged out of Michael's spite. She does have a few things to help her deal with the 365 days she would be confined to her home; one is her good friend and lawyer, Sofia Aquino, and the other is Michael's wine collection.

What Went Wrong: Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda
The New York Mets' 61st season was full of immense promise. They won 101 games this season, which was only their fourth 100+ win season in franchise history. The other seasons: 1969, 1986, and 1988. In those first two years, the Mets won the World Series, with 1969 being the famous "Miracle Mets" year where they came back from 10 games down in the National League East to win the division, while 1986 was the infamous Bill Buckner series; Mookie Wilson's walk-off RBI single going in between Buckner's legs in Game Six. The Mets did not win the pennant in 1988, but would win two more pennants in 2000 and 2015. 2016 was their last postseason until this year, and their journey would begin with the Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres.

What Went Wrong: The Last Hurrah
Without question, the centerpiece of the St. Louis Cardinals' 2022 season was the return of their beloved legend, Albert Pujols. The Cards were coming off a 2021 season that saw them go on a winning tear in September to nab one of the National League's Wild Card spots. This year, the winning tear started about a month or so early, basically nabbing control of the National League Central from the Milwaukee Brewers, and never looked back. The Cardinals faced off against the Philadelphia Phillies in the Wild Card Series, and Game One looked like it would be quiet, until Juan Tepez struck with a pinch-hit two-run HR in the sixth inning.

What Went Wrong: It Was 8-1
Ooh, boy. Well...that happened. You know, as a fan of a division rival, I only save my actual hatred for the Boston Red Sox. I have no reason to hate the Toronto Blue Jays. I remain fascinated by their team history; joined the American League in 1977, won their first division title in 1985, and became an AL powerhouse throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, which led them to back-to-back World Championships in 1992 and 1993. Many moons passed before they would become a playoff team again, but the Blue Jays appear to be a perennial playoff team at the current moment.

What Went Wrong: Where's the Offense, Rays?!
In any postseason, it is never good to be the first one eliminated, but someone has to carry that burden. In the case of the 2022 MLB postseason, that unfortunate dishonor went to the Tampa Bay Rays, who were ousted in two games in the best-of-three Wild Card Series by the Cleveland Guardians. For the Rays, this is their second straight postseason appearance since their run to the World Series in 2020. 2021 saw the Rays win a franchise record 100 games and capture the American League East, but they were ousted in the Division Series by the Red Sox. This year, they had a strong campaign that saw them nearly capitalize on the New York Yankees' late-summer skid, but once the Yankees woke back up, the Rays fell off in September, going from the #4 seed (the home Wild Card position) to finishing as the #6 seed, but still qualifying.

Chucky Review: "Halloween II"
At long last, Chucky's back on USA on SyFy, but before that, the latter network aired a block of all of the films, and of course, because it's October, Peacock (NBC's streaming network) has all of the films (except the first one), as well as Season One of the TV series. Speaking of, the second season opener began with a recap of Season One, which ended with the planned endgame that saw an army of Chucky dolls kill several victims inside a movie theater, with Andy Barclay driving off with a number of the dolls with plans to eliminate them. Meanwhile, the show's central characters, Jake Wheeler, Devon Evans, and Lexy Cross, become connected due to their experiences with Chucky, but on a good note, Jake and Devon began their relationship.

She-Hulk Review: "Ribbit and Rip It"
So when we last left Jennifer Walters, her love life took another hit. As it turned out, Josh Miller, Jen's wedding hook-up turned potential love interest, was drinking that Intelligencia kool-aid. However, life, as it often does, moves on, as does Jen's profession, and regarding the latter, Jen is shown with her new client: Eugene Patilio, aka "Leap-Frog." Eugene's complaint involved accusing Luke Jacobson, designer of the superheros, of making a faulty supersuit, as it caught on fire during one of his missions. Upon hearing Luke's name, Jen had one problem: Luke makes suits for her as well; in fact, he was in the process of making a gown for the Southern California Law Awards gala.
