DK 19. God even the American fight footage is poorly edited.

I love how Kit is as baffled as the audience by the sheer quantity of Riders in this show. It's especially bad considering he and Len are the only Riders who even vaguely count as characters... and maybe at a push, JTC as well. But it's hard to separate 'fun villain' from 'genuinely a great character'.

And Chris well...for all of the flash, and punch, of his death sequence and the wider implications which I'm sure will never be addressed Chris never had the chance to become a great character because the writers wrote themselves into a corner so quickly. Asthma is a clever device to give the character a life risking complication without the need for graphic visuals, the problem is, is when you give a character something like asthma and STILL have to use up footage of them fighting you have to keep making up bullshit to give them a reason to be fighting in the first place. I'm sad he's dead but this couldn't have really gone any further, I'm surprised it went as far as it did.

Purely in terms of design, Spear looks AWESOME and although I think Axe is ultimately kinda dull, it looks a bit more like an actual suit of high tech armour than the others do which I like as that is what they are supposed to be.
