So much happened in this episode... and it was just a warm up!

Lai will never learn - never.
Yan Mi shows that she just might learn - and act.
Mai Ling is just gonna Mai Ling... 
Leary has his note book out - but might be ready to write a conclusion
Chao has a plan!  OK that's not new.

Young Jun is faced with making a choice... with no backsies
Ah Sahm is gonna have to choose the dock or the ship 

and has Strickland finally gone so far he might face consequences.

Things begin to really Get OUT of HAND!

There's a heavily armed wedding
There's an innauguration
There's a blood bath
There's hallucinations
There's a jail cell cage fight
And 
There's a "train your competition" - yes that's a death threat

Look this episode is chock full - and it's just a warmup for the even more unhinged rest of the season.  So strap on your roller skates (which were popular by 1880) if you want to keep up.

This is the episode where people seem to think they are owed. Pimp guy thinks Ah Toy owes him his prostitutes back, Some dad thinks Leary owes him getting his stupid sons outta jail, Happy Jack thinks Abby owes him her attention and space and the best one...

Mai Ling thinks everyone owes her coming to her wedding. While the rest of the people are pretty wrong, Mai Ling has the clout or at least is terrigying enough to be right. Or at least get people to agree to show up for her wedding.

And then there's Young Jun. Giving business lessons in the weirdest way - showing you how not to business well. And this week's lesson - why yelling at your employees and threatening them with death all the time will sap them of all initiative. And how that will make your life worse.

So come hang out before things get really really murdery!

Well it is about time this show went properly poly-glot. Finally MORE languages in what was an absolute babble of a city. Portuguese, Italian, Chinese (multiple dialects, but mainly Cantonese) along with Spanish and English and German. We finally get German. As well as someone completely hopped up on cocaine.
(The particular alkyloid was isolated in 1959 for a German PhD project - I bet that was one hell of a final presentation!)

You also get to hear me show off a little of my southern side. Yikes!
And we may get the answer to whether Lee can or cannot grow a beard.

Anyway, whoever you are, don't accept train rides from strange men. It tends not to go well. Good luck escaping.

This is one of those episodes where everyone gets a very bent version of what they wanted all along. Power - but not that way. Friendship, but whoops! it is not. A chance to go out in a blaze of glory, but thwarted - but in the good way.

And of course, setting up the perfect trap that... traps you.

An episode full of twists and turns - and a certain amount of smacking oneself in the face. Outsmarting all around.

What happens when everyone gets to lean into their worst instincts? You set up all the crises!
Young Jun's gonna spit in the eye of authority, Mai Ling's gonna be the one asking for approval and Buckley is going to allow a woman to hold his hand.

In otherwords, everything is about to go off the rails and it's all going to go gorgeously wrong. I mean if you are here for a scrap.
So buckle up - and whatever you do, don't go out to eat in a fancy restaurant in short sleeves.

Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. ANd this time it was recording this episode. I don't want to talk about it.
In the meantime - counterfeiting money is not good for a happy life, and you should really work on that relationship with your sibs. It could go bad.

And Season 3 of Warrior is BACK!
If Season 2 went graphic novel, Season 3 seems to be going simply GRAPHIC as in the "this changes your rating to NC-17"

Right out of the gate Ah Sahm seems a little more unhinged, Mai Ling seems a little more murder-y, Wang Chao is tempting death that much more, Lee has more brain bruises, Buckley is that much more power hungry and Leary is that much more an Irish Bruiser.

And the injury effects - blech. Jamie who loves a good horror flick is here for it. Greta, who is much more squeamish when it comes to onscreen injury may watch more of this season from behind her hands.

So let's get this season started with a few big fights and a bad misfire from an old pistol!

America - we know what's up. And we are not afraid to America-splain to you about how your country/culture works. That's right, we are just that good.

Or bad.

Or something.

This is the FUN Mummy movie from 1999 - not the gritty reboot from 2017. So pop the popcorn and get ready for things to get a little silly.
While Greta enjoys the comic book nonsense of it all, Jamie is skeptical that anything this ridiculous can be good. Shoot-em-ups, punch-em-ups, romance tropes, practical special effects for the mummies and early CGI - this has it all - and body paint!
