--"Only The Beginning" By Mick Jagger was a nice segments and it was one of the few times Ginger's shown some real personality in a long time. I've always thought that we should replace him at some point myself, at least for a while. He comes off as the most vibrant character in the segment, which may have been the goal of the author. He's a stern businessman who's both competant and not entirely evil. I highly recommend this segment, and I enjoyed the segment before it as well...but I don't toot my own horn.

I believe this is the part where a certain somebody publically humiliates me. Yay for inside jokes.
-- "My Introspective" by Wyvern was very nice. I believe it harkens back to some of his steller HWL work and it gives us some nice insight to a great character. The style itself feels fresh, and the segment flows perfectly. I can't say enough good things about it. It's just a top-notch segment.
-- "Gods of Entrophy" by Hunter moved along his storyline with Starkweather quite nicely. I think I see the signature Hunter-Twist right away, but I kind of hope I'm wrong. Otherwise, this is probably one of the more interesting storylines going on right now. Hunter's writing is solid for the most part and I think this segment had pretty good flow as well. All and all, it's worth looking at.
-- "Retribution" by BK London proves that...above all else...he is a closet mark for my work. I sincerely hope that my "Digging Hunter Up and..." threat becomes commonly used among faces and heels alike. Just remember that I started it. :-p
Seriously though, I thought this was a nice serious segment by Mr. London. He clearly enjoys his comedy more, but he's proven time and time again that he's capable of good heavier works. He made some strong points and he also gave a good illustration of his frienship with Jake Cheng...he proved that he's more than just his sidekick. There is also some decent foreshadowing at the end.
-- "Isolation" by Stark/Hunter is a segment that, in my opinion, does a very good job of illustrating the twisted genius of Dr. Starkweather...and the vaguely annoying Anakin Skywalker-like vibes that I've been getting from Brimstone. Starkweather's lines are, in partiular, very strong. It makes you question Brimstone's sanity as the storyline starts to get more and more tense. I'd say that it's a top contender for the best segment on the show.
-- "Jailbreak" by Thunderkiss is entertaining if you can get past some of the more unbelievable elements. It's humorous and a nice change of pace for this particular show. It's certainly worth a second-glance.
-- "Power 15' by Freeman is worth a look, since I thought it was one of his stronger segments recently. He finds a way to stand out and plays the cocky heel role very well.

This show was a definite improvement over Thursday...I guess we may just write better stuff on the weekends, who knows? I don't think there was even one "bad" segment on this show. I can give this show a very solid 7/10
My favorite storyline so far is Brimstone/Stark. It's followed closely by the multi-man feud. I also, of course, enjoy my own feud with Scott Andrews. There are a few other storylines that come to mind as well, and I think we're doing a pretty good job in the feud department
