Attack it, Lightning!

[Drunk Monk]

I watched e2. I confess, I'm kinda hooked. It's so absurd. And the fight choreo ain't bad. Better than CW's Kung Fu, that's for sure. It's silly fencing but it's so rare to see sport fencing depicted with any accuracy. 

I should mention that in ep1, one of the protags was studying fencing in France so of course, those scenes were in English. But the English that the Frenchman was speaking was all messed up. I think he was Russian. That was funny.

It's a idealistic vision of PRC. The home interiors are magnificent, much larger than are had by average Chinese citizens. And the fencing salle is massive. 

Every once in a while, it drops a line that's a priceless fortune-cookie gem about swords. I should start documenting those. 

It struck me that if this is what PRC kids are watching, the fencing world needs to be watchful of China. That sleeping dragon is waking. 

I don't know if I'll make it through 31 eps. That's quite an investment. But I'll keep watching and if there's a standout ep, I'll let y'all know.

Here's a taste:
