If you've seen the show, you know what I mean. If not, assume that you can take two people or groups form any era and match them up in head to head combat via computer simulation based (at least loosely) on 'data' that is usually considered questionable. I give you, as options: Ex-wife versus Soccer Hooligan (comedic) Napoleonic Old Guard vs. Union Iron Brigade (interesting) Zardoz versus Chewbacca (sci-fi) |

If not, assume that you can take two people or groups form any era and match them up in head to head combat via computer simulation based (at least loosely) on 'data' that is usually considered questionable. Not to mention matching up a viking missile weapon vs. a samurai melee weapon, then a samurai missile weapon vs. a viking melee weapon? That dumbfounded me. How about: Connery as Red-Nappy Lord Gaga/Village Person from "Zardoz" vs. Connery as English Spy Posing as Truly Unconvincing Japanese Man from "You Only Live Twice" (camp throw-down) |

Semi-reality based, English longbows versus Berdan's Sharpshooters. Zulu impi versus Roman Legion, I would vote with the legion. They have armor, and are probably more disciplined soldier than warrior. |

Longbow versus Berdan's would be interesting. So would Zulu versus Roman. I am betting they give it to Zulu based on the fact that Legions were not trained to fight as individuals as much as they were trained to fight in formation with other soldiers. But the armor factor is worthwhile. |

Oh, and Zardoz versus Bond is a good one. |

Xena vs. Beastmaster is great! And they would have such beautiful babies
so not to the death, but to
subdual. Zulu weapons and protection would not match up well against Romans. Even if the Romans broke ranks with the encirclement tactic it is going to be grim for the Zulus. |

Vampires vs. Zombies last night without question set a new low for the show and demonstrates how desperate they are for ideas. Actually, I thought it much less insulting to my intelligence (even when I do my damnedest to switch my brain off and just go with it). Being as how there ain't no such things as vampires or zombies, the math is never wrong. Hey, at least this is not on the History Channel. |
