No martial art or self defence is 100%. most good classes would advise to run at first opportunity in a street fight than advertise ways to always win or defend yourself without risk in a street fight. It wouldn’t really be much to accurately test given how unpredictable real violence is

Would be good to see some myth busters type stuff on wild claims some make on martial arts or self defence

When Game of Thrones passed up GRRM’s source material

And it was the best one!

Not quite the same but fightquest was a cool show

Every death after Mark Greene on ER. That show was all shark jumping it’s last 7 seasons.

I don't care what anyone says, the later seasons of Oz are still entertaining as fuck, even with all their complete ridiculousness. The aging pills thing gets brought up a lot, but I don't even think it was that bad, plus there were only about 15 minutes total spent on it.

Later seasons of HBO's prison drama Oz had storylines about a drug that made you age and a dude being possessed by the ghost of a priest.

I remember in Happy Days when the Fonz was water skiing...

I am dying 🤣😭 I think I have to watch to keep track of just how awful it is

I wouldn’t worry too much about the over analytical faux scientists of reddit - watch it and make up your own mind.

I love this haha

Ok, here’s my pitch for the next DC CW show.

It’s called “Guardians of Oa”, but all the Green Lanterns were killed off-screen before the first episode. Instead, we give three kids (one of them is Sinestro’s daughter, but looks nothing like Sinestro) a bright green Yamaha bike.

They cruise around northern Idaho every now and again and fight a guy in a banana yellow ski-mask who calls himself Parallax alongside his henchwoman, Jennifer “Bleez” Braithwaite, a corporate big wig who wears ruby earrings. Villains of the week include Hector Hammond, who is an online game streamer, and the mysterious “Larfleeze”, who is a crazy homeless man with an an orange stick that he spray painted.

They always beat the villain at the end of the episode by saying “beware our power, Green Lantern’s light,” before doing a kinda ok bike trick (we’ll poorly CGI it in post).

I think it’s gonna be a hit with the fanbase.

Ah lol I will check it out.

Then this was a problem with marketing and the trailer, which made this look like a gritty survival story.

Watch the latest episode and you will see that its premise is absolutely comical >!They are basically creating a tech cult similar to what people have done to Elon Musk in recent years!<

And then he ran back in time to save them and changed the timeline

I think the reason why Dark Matter worked for me while The Ark doesn't is the premise. Ark has a premise that sounds dead serious, so the fact its not taken seriously is just kind of annoying. Where DM the premise was inherently pulpy and goofy if that makes sense?

Like if its campy and corny they need to stop the "we have 48 hours until we all die" plots every episode.

IIRC, they died when Krypton exploded.

I enjoyed Dark Matter as well. Both shows have a very similar level of campiness, but I'm not at all surprised because both came from Ex-Stargate producers, and was also a fan of Helix even before that (Also a fan of RDM).

Modern shows have way too much focus on being serious, this is just lighthearted fun.

I actually liked Dark Matter which was campy as shit and low budget, but it leaned into it and it felt more like we the audience know what we're in for.

I really enjoy this show, it's people who do not appreciate campy space sci fi that are the problem.

I never thought it would be for one second.

I honestly want a spaceship show that's just the civilian portions of Macross/Megazone 23. A giant city in space you don't even realize is a colony ship until people go through a bulkhead door. Make it the setting of a police procedural or something.

I was going to give a chance after the first episode but then the second episode kept up killing extras when they have a finite number of crew.

Also the cryobays are the one section of the ship that shouldn't be spinning.
