Iron Fist

[Greg]

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.
