I started to watch Wu Assassins last night. While the lore is interesting and I like many of the characters, that fight choreography is hilariously bad in that it's absurdly contrived, unrealistic, and difficult to follow. It might be some of the goofiest choreography I've seen in a modern show. A good case-in-point is during the first few minutes of the first episode where Kai either shoves or kicks the butterfly knife in a guy's hand so hard that it drags the grown man several feet back where it stabs cleanly into the wall with enough force to trap his hand. Granted, this kind of over-the-top choreography comes with the martial arts genre so I can't be too mad and a few of the moves can look cool.

Otherwise I just wish that we'd *see* the monk-form fight when everybody is supposed to be seeing the monk rather than Kai. This is especially relevant because at one point the monk form is dispelled but we as an audience don't realize that until a character mentions it. Granted several minutes before that, we see an effect where it looks like it's dispelling but only the ally seems to react to the change despite the attacker being right next to Kai

The only drawback? It's apparently another 10-episode season and the only season out so far for the show.

In other news, I stopped at thrift store yesterday and found the first season of Superboy, a show that I'm not entirely sure I knew existed until several weeks ago. (And, of course, it's not based on the fun clone version of Superman -- it came out years before the whole Death of Superman arc.) I also found season 1 of The Legend of Korra (after buying seasons 2 & 4 on a prior visit... and buying season 3 on DVD since I wanted everything in the same format despite having the BR version from long before that -- stuff is crazy cheap, though, just $2/season for those DVD versions) so I'm finally going to watch the sequel to Avatar TLA.

Of course, the downside to cheap DVDs is the immense amount of physical space they wind up using. And pretty much every title I own is because it's something I want in my movie/tv collection, which is nowhere near finished. Oh, the other kinda downside? I usually wind up just watching something on NFI/Hulu/etc instead of one of those things I bought >_> Probably because the other things seem more time-sensitive in a way.

The funny thing is, tomatoes ARE in the nightshade family, so they're close kin to poison right out of the gate.


Which is why they try to warn you with their terrible taste >_>

tbh, while I enjoy tomato-based sauces, I've never liked sliced (or raw) tomato.
