They might do something better than the fake thing I made up.

I expect that they won't.

EDIT: We should keep a weather eye to see if anything from Season Two seems cribbed from my notes...

That's still three seasons too many in my opinion.



Then they should have done a better and more respectful job.

Given the age of this forum, I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been an in-depth treatment of this topic before.

While I can't say you are wrong, I also think you are assigning them a level of cunning they don't deserve. I also think you aren't crediting them with sufficient ideological fervor.

Boots Combat Analysis of Fellowship of the Ring

I thought this video was rather interesting. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfO0Ee7x6w)

In spite of being put out by IGN, it is done by one of the most respected HEMA practitioners out there.

I think that is absolutely inescapable. How could they do it without him? (Don't answer that.)



I'm glad it didn't turn out to be what I was afraid it would be when I read that headline.
