I genuinely thought Badass Howard was gonna get killed because of the flower screwup and Basic Howard was going to have to pretend to be Badass for the rest of the season. I was pleasantly surprised when that didn’t happen, though judging from the previews it looks like we might still get some of that. Interesting that Badass Howard lied to Basic Howard about his Emily being dead, though they are rather obviously not together. I’ll be interested to see where that goes.

I agree. Not only did it feel like a rehash from, last time, but it took over pretty much every other plot line as well. And those that it didn't felt really brief and kinda pushed to the side. There was definitely some funny stuff this time around, but no where near as good as First Day of Camp.

I'm on episode 7 and I'm loving Chauncey's mom right now. "Did you watch the tapes!? Cause they obviously watched the tapes!" And then Coach Jerkface tries to kick her out of the game cause his ego couldn't take it. Was she being loud? Yes. Was she wrong? No.

Right, but my point is that he is making money by using other people's music without paying them for it, and now he's all miffed that other people are using his music without paying him for it. He can be mad about it, but it's still pretty hypocritical.

I find it pretty amusing how pissy people are getting about the bootleg tape when they make a living remixing other people's music.

I'm not much of a fan. He's obviously a damn good coach, but holy shit, he could be mean. Insinuating that Ollie was faking his injury because he's lazy even though the team doctor himself said that Ollie was injured. Reminded my way too much of Billy-Bob's storyline in Varsity Blues. I agree with the players, he really had no room to be criticizing them for their actions when he can't help but be goaded into an actual shoving fight with a ref. He did show a bit of self awareness when he wondered if he really does do everything he can to help these guys succeed. Does that mean getting wins on the field or making sure they do well in class? That won him a few points from me.

Series description: I'm not a big football fan and definitly not a college football fan. I don't think I even knew that community colleges had football teams or that they could be a second chance stop for good layers who aren't such good students. I really did like the series, however. I was really rooting for these kids to succeed while also groaning over all of the mistakes that they make.

I thought Brittany Wagner, the academic advisor, was pretty awesome. She obviously really cares about these guys and does her damn best to make sure they do as well as they possibly can in the classroom. The worst thing you could say about her is that she's slightly naive about college kids hooking up.

I'm pretty surprised that the show had the balls to kill off Grace. While I wasn't a fan of hers, I'm a little annoyed that we got her and Tommy married just to kill her off to give Tommy pain. Killing off one of the brothers would have been just as painful and probably more impactful as we've been with them longer. The other ladies are getting good material though, so I can't be too annoyed. At first I thought that Arthur was way skinnier than I thought he'd be, but then I remember his love of coke, so he's actually probably pretty solid for his state.

I'm interested to see where the Kobra/Daga thing goes. We just had a creepy stalker storyline happen, so I don't think they'd do that again so quickly.

Even when I don't totally follow what's going on, I don't really care because the show is just so damn pretty. Speaking of pretty, Aunt Pol is really rocking the new haircut and I hope she and Alexander Siddig's character get to have some fun. I'm not too big on Tommy and Grace getting married. I haven't liked her since the first season and she just doesn't seem suited for this life. She did take most of the shenanigans better than I thought she would though. Arthur's "sobriety" simply will not last.

Episode description: Oh, hey, Pentagon's got legs again! And Vampiro's Evil Alter Ego seems somewhat sane tonight. Can everyone just stop invading Melisa Santo's space? This is getting ridiculous. Maybe be we should all pitch in for a bubble suit for her. Seriously, Cuerno, it doesn't count as a trophy if you didn't kill it yourself. Kidnapping Mil after Matanza took him out is cheating. Also, where's Catrina? I'm hoping she'll end up teleporting into the Trophy Room like a Las Vegas Magician to spring Mil. Chavo's obnoxious poncho has gotten bigger and more obnoxious. By next season it'll be the size of the ring. I'm glad Cage went right for the title challenge, no need for fucking around. Poor passed out Fenix, now I'm envisioning some wacky scenario where Taya baked Fenix a cake laced with sleeping pills. The air guitar session was both awesome and ridiculous. For fucks sake, Joey and Cortez are the Worst Undercover Cops EVER. Just bribe Mr Cisco, don't risk blowing your cover. I hereby declare the new Trios Champs "Team Dudebro". They are just soooo douchey. And kinda dirty-hot.

We now have confirmation that Catrina older than she looks, at least 197. But apparently not fully immortal, as she stated that she and Mil were still seaking that. Also, Matanza is possesed by an Aztec God, though which one is not mentioned. Interesting that none of the Aztec gods have been mentioned by name. And by what Councilman Delgado said, it seems that his boss is also somehow connected to one of the gods as well.

And it also gave an excellent excuse for a Team Disfunction rematch. They may have lost, but they were down a man, so it's only fair for the to get another shot. Of coarse, with Dario in charge, he may just say "too bad, so sad" and insist that they defeat a trios team of Matanza, Quetzalcoatl and Godzilla before getting a rematch.

Well, we certainly aren't wasting any time this episode are we? Straight to the cage match. Also "Cage in a Cage"? Lucha ne'er ground episode titles, so simple, so silly. Honestly, Mundo had a kendo stick, a chair and Taya and still couldn't defeat Cage. I think Taya may be backing the wrong horse here. Also, Mundo must be a BEAST in the sack for her to put up with his shit. The four way Trios match was great fun, and with all the twisting and flipping I'm pretty sure one of them will be revealed to be a sentient tornado. I'm very sad that my OT3 lost their titles, but they were down a member and at least it was to the Awesome McCool Team. The after credits scene didn't really work for me. I don't remember anything about Pentagon not being able to walk (OK, yeah, his low back was injured last time he wrestled but I don't remember anything to indicate that it was that bad) and while Vampiro was on the path back to full on crazy-town, he hadn't seemed to hit it fully before now. It didn't really seem to add anything, though LU does play the long game, so it may have much more meaning in the future.

Episode description:

All three matches this week were fun, and the backstage segments furthered the stories. Good job LU. There's just something entertaining about Drago, in full makeup, at an office meeting. Did he bring donuts? Now I want to start a Twitter hashtag about LU wrestlers doing mundane stuff. Mil at Starbucks, Marty and Mariposa in the drive through at Taco Bell. Dario is still trying the Whacky Trios Teamups. This week worked better than last, but none will be as cool as Team Disfunction. For a second there, I thought Taya was gonna tell Mundo that she was going to be his opponent for next week. That would be classic Cueto manipulation. They way Mundo keeps being a jerk-face to her though, that's gonna lead to a confrontation at some point. Well Purple Mask Guy certainly got dramatic after the DOD's loss. Honestly though, I'm surprised we didn't kill him off sooner. Dario attacking Mil was like a tiny kitten attacking a bear. Brave, but pointless. And then his office gets ruined. I'm a little sad we didn't get a Dario/Catrina brawl. Would have been very Alphonso/Beulauh from ECW.

Episode description:

I wasn't too into either of the first two matches. Argenis is just kinda there and Killshot has only started to get some development. I'm not particularly into Texano (except that he looks Ike Michael Pena) and Dago is all new (and young and pretty). Neither match was bad, just neither was particularly exciting either. I do appreciate that the Armed Forces Vet is not the bland white guy vet usually given to us in wrestling. Seems like Back Lotus is playing a double agent game, but how much of each side is she paying? Yes, she killed Dragon Azteca Sr., but her playing the long game to get back at Dario makes more sense than her suddenly being best bros with him. Was Mil meditating? It seems like it would be a bad idea to interrupt the Man of 1000 Deaths when he's trying to get his zen on. Also, I still prefer my idea that the Disciples are manifestations of Catrina's power and not actual people. The trios tournament match was fun, though no matter how hard Dario tries with his Whacky Paring Teams, he just cannot recreate the awesome of Team Disfunction. I'm a little sad that no one told Rey that tonight we would be wearing our animal hats out. Poor guy must feel left out. And while I laughed at Cage interrupting Mundo and Taya's Wind Fan entrance, I am disappointed in his lack of theatricality. That catch on Azteca when he was already holding Puma, though. Dude does not skip on leg day.

Episode description:

I really liked the opening match this week. Solid mat work, Ivelisse was throwing some nice suplexes and Kobra was greatly improved from her first two matches. I was excited that the trios tournament was starting this episode, but not too impressed with either new team. Both teams seemed very disjointed and not in the fun Team Disfunction sort of way. However, the match itself was pretty fun. However Joey Ryan is never allowed to rub the lollipop on his chest hair AGAIN. Didn't "Officer Reyes" see Bael getting fed to Matanza last season, doesn't an officer's eye witness testimony count as "real evidence"? I know that Sexy is supposed to be suffering from serious PTSD, but I don't know how well this has been shown. On the other hand, at least the storyline seems to be moving in a good direction now. Rey and Dragon Azteca Jr were totally getting their Batman and Robin on up on those rooftops. And them with Puma for the trios tournament? Now THAT is a team I can get behind. Also, did Puma actually talk? I wasn't fully onboard with the Catrina/Fenix shipping until I saw that sly look she shot him when she sic'ed Mil on Matanza. Hotness. Also, my new head cannon is that the two of them have had a slap-slap-kiss relationship on and off for centuries (Catrina appears to be immortal and Fenix reincarnates). They can't be with together but they can't stay away from each other, either.

Episode description:

The opening tag match was just kinda there, though I did like Taya "Sexy Charizard" costume. I also didn't like how fast Sexy got pinned. I know it's supposed to be that she's still traumatized by what happened to her, but I think they could have been s bit clearer with that. Glad to see Team Disfunction retain their titles weird though the format was, and I'm hoping that the upcoming Trios tournament will give us more variety in our teams. It's my new head cannon that Matanza got Dario that "I'm kind of a big deal" name placard for his birthday. It totally seems like a cheesy birthday gift that your brother would get for you. I was surprised that Pentagon got beaten so soundly, they really are pushing Matanza as a beast.

How Lucha Underground changed my mind about inter-gender wrestling: http://www.workofwrestling.com/wowblog/2016/3/25/how-lucha-underground-changed-my-mind-about-intergender-wrestling-by-barry-hess I admit that I'm posting this one because I've been getting a bit annoyed lately with some people being "uncomfortable" with intergender wrestling or finding it "unbelievable".
