The retards operating this show are some seriously stupid shmucks.
The so-called "experts" really don't seem to have a clue how to use most of the weapons. I will admit the Samurai was a bit closer, but the Viking expert couldn't cut his dinner much less handle his weapons in combat.
I have watched alot of exercises with the dane axe, but never have I seen such a poor portrayal of its use. When you saw a Warrior with that axe across the field, you might as well accept the fact he was an elite warrior among his fellows. They were deadly in the hands of these men. He was portrayed in this program as a psycho lumberjack on steroids instead of a trained warrior.
Again, it was interesting to see the results of damage inflicted with the various weapons, but the rest is more entertainment than anything really worthwhile with reguards to reasearch based on historical accuracy.
