William Wallace Tonight at 10:00PM EST

[Erikm]

It was a cool episode My friend called me and told me about it.
Next week IRA vs. Taliban

[IRISH]

i've enjoyed these since the first episode a few weeks ago. the premise is ludicrous, but i like the enthusiasm of the experts representing each side of the debate. last week's maori v shao-lin monk was terrific.

although, the dramatized video of wallace had him running down hillsides in a kilt, the highlands expert was discussing the likely mode of battle dress more along the lines of what mcmurdo was stating. nice one.

the show has taken a bit of a sour turn in the last couple of weeks when they've pitted "mafia" against the yakuza and the preview for next week's show just made my heart sink- taliban v ira? a bit too sad.

i guess this exposes me as no small hypocrite. it's ok to watch a bunch of guys on tv examine and glorify killing as long as it's in the context of centuries-extinct warrior classes such as samurai and vikings, but as soon as they start whooping it up over post-modern ideological terrorists, i get sheepish...
