Warrior Review

I am really digging Warrior. I can enjoy the craziness of the kung-fu moves even though I am not a big fan of such movies and shows. Still, they’re quick and never drug out. I am becoming more comfortable with the characters and that definitely helps. There are only a few characters that I despise. Surprisingly, Dylan Leary isn’t one of them. He might be the main villain according to the writers, but I don’t find him all that terrible.

The episode was very good, but it was obvious Penelope and Ah Sahm would get together from the beginning. Still, the episode scores a good 8 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Warrior now!
