    We watched it--the step-son and I--but it was a bit contrived. The results are quite subjective, and the whole idea is kind of hokie at best.

    But it's fun for what it's intended to be--entertainment. Seeing the character in breachan feile and woad (sp?) was a bit of a put-off--I kept trying to be historically correct--but ole Wallace kicked the snot out of Shaka Zulu.

    The best part was seeing the weapons described and demonstrated.

    I'd have to agree, my biggest pet peeve with this episode besides the woad and feileadh-mor was the height of the actor playing Wallace, but yeah it was cool seeing him win. I loved the part where the "experts" were calling the 8' kill zone the buzz saw of death.
