Brett Chan was the fight choreographer - he also did Netflix's Marco Polo, which was solid so fault must lie in Finn and the editors.
Wait...Morena? LUV her. And she isn't even a redhead.

It's been a couple of weeks, but tQ went to do her civic duty, so I had the TV to myself. And my choice was poor.
I don't get this show. It's like they aren't even trying. The first 45 minutes is talking and or stupid stuff. Despite 15 years of martial arts training of the highest level, Danny still can't control himself and is afraid of flying and needs to be consoled in the trip to China to find Madam Gau. The budget for this episode must have been huge since China looked a lot like a warehouse on the East River in New York. There were two allusions to other members of the defenders which I thought was fun, but that was the only fun in this episode. There were two fights; one for Colleen and one for Danny. Both of their opponents looked like real martial artists which totally showed up Colleen's and Danny's lack of skills. One was a sword fight and the other was drunken boxing match. I really wished the Drunken Master had a creditable opponent. And how is it that every time Danny gets hit really hard, he spits blood. I wonder if his chest tattoo is infected. I spent most of the episode checking Facebook and Twitter.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

I had to go back for this. For work. On Prez day, which TC has never let us have off before but it’s now an official comp day for TCEC. I also spent this morning unclogging the bathroom sink. Took me two scoops of drano crystals, two bottles of liquid plumber, and disassembling the trap 3x. If I had just poured all that in my eyes, it would’ve been better. But I didn’t have lunch with IF’s accountant. I had dinner with the drunken boxer. In Dublin. With my date Emily Beecham. Lewis Tan player the drunken boxer and Greg surmised correctly - he is a lifelong martial artist. He’s also in S3 of Into the Badlands. We hit it off well over several shots of Teelings. He calls me ‘brother’ in that Kung Fu way now. Nice guy - too feckin handsome - and he was under nda when we talked, but hinted that he’s joining the MCU. We were doing so follow up emails last week and he said to google him because he was still under nda, but there was a leak in the super bowl ad and fans seems to have guessed. Looks like he’s in deadpool 2. So I had to watch the fight, which was of course at the end of the Ep, which felt like 3 hours. Man, this show is so bad. Claire is the only redeeming factor. Lewis was good though so it was work the needed confirmation. Not doing that RZA Ep unless I have to see him, and there’s nothing in the works like that.

The Drunken Boxer dude was one of the few decent fights in that turd-burger show.

Feeling a little down. Time for some self-harm. Cutting? No, I’m on bloodthinners. Binge drinking? No, I’m a lightweight and it would be over too quickly.
I know! I’ll watch the new Iron Fist! I’m sure they got it right *this* time! Next time: Cutting. Definitely cutting.

I made it through one episode. No desire to see more.
Daredevil is a week from today and Fisk is back!

How did this thread grow to three pages? Was it like having to taste old milk in the fridge to fully appreciate it's rancidness?

CF, 3 pages because it is sooooo bad. My recommendation: Watch the first ep and the final ep of season II. That’s what I did. Season III set-up made it look almost...interesting.

Wait. Not really. Bring on Daredevil.

Mystery Science Theater is really just a bad rip-off of a DOOM gathering.
