actually i looked into this because it's been so long, and also I was such a coward when I fenced that I never did Sabre because fucking, ow man, what, no way, no thanks
the hand is specifically not a target, it's only at the wrist. You also will get carded in fencing for bringing your hand up like he is. I would have to ask on the set, but I think this is extremely on purpose. I watched the scene again, and you can see that he's doing this because he doesn't respect her. Kate is in a proper fencing form, as far as an idiot like me can tell. She's holding her hand back and she is focused on Doing It. On the other hand, the step dad doesn't give a shit, he thinks/knows he is better than her, he is showing off. she hits him in the chest where his hand is, and he pulls back and lets her hit him there. That's right when she says "stop letting me win".
The flagrant rule/form break is how she knows he is fucking around, and it's why she's getting pissed off. He's not even giving her the respect of doing it right.
Tof is correct in that if your hand comes up by your waist but is not covering, it can still be hit and the blade can scoot up the hand to a proper touch and still count. Play doesn't halt if the hand is hit, it just doesn't count, which is why any serious fencer holds their arm way back when they engage.
Yeah this was my take on the scene too if I was right about the rules.
I'm only halfway through episode 1 of series 12 of Taskmaster and I have no idea who Morgana Robinson is but I already know she is the absolute star of this series, no matter what her points end up being.
Guz Khan and Morgana steal the show a lot in series 12, but some of my all time favorite bits involve Desiree
Yeah, Desiree is a damn hoot.
Also, I just realized who Morgana reminds me of. She's got some really strong Jenna Maroney energy (minus being completely self-centered).

Anyone that's enjoying Bob on WILTY should subscribe to the Athletico Mince podcast. It was supposed to be about football but it's basically just a place for Bob to throw stories and ideas at the wall and see what works. If you've seen his "train guy" videos they span out of a character "Barry Homeowner" that he did based on a name that Andy came up with on the show. His South African stories are a highlight:
Two things ran through my mind while watching this.
"How much did they have to pay Tom Cruise to make this knowing that course correcting on the character's height/size is going to repeatedly bring his up?"
"This feels like Peacemaker by way of CBS."

Zahn McClarnon put in some solid work in the few minutes he had on screen in Hawkeye ep3. Kinda forgot how good he is at drama because he was so fucking funny in Reservation Dogs.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
David's incredulity when Bob Mortimer is trying to explain the appeal of visiting the Gulf Stream as a teenager is one of my favorite exchanges in WILTY.

That the tradeoff for seeing Zahn at work, at seeing Echo on screen for the first time, is having to watch Jeremy Renner carry a series?
Bob Mortimer on WILTY has taught me so much about successful lying, ie to make a lie seem believable, make every truth you tell sound insane.
Also give people stupid names.
I have literally seen some of his anecdotes 10-20 times and sometimes I can't remember if it's true or a lie. I legitimately cannot recall if his "sick owl" story is true or not at this moment and I've definitely seen that ~10 times.

Monkey's paws, man. Brutal shit.
If it helps, I do not like Renner at all, and he’s been shockingly tolerable in this. Excellent even, in a lot of scenes. Trust me, I’m shocked.
Of course, a lot of it may be thanks to a truly fantastic supporting cast.

It also helps that they are having Hawkeye behave consistently and with people who have excellent chemistry with him. He's also been humanized a bit what with his family and his disability.

I will fully fully fully admit that I am being rather uncharitable, because there's something just... Fucky? About the first Marvel thing to acknowledge Natives ALSO having the dude from Wind River?
I don't have a better phrase or a more cogent argument, it just gives me weird vibes

Today I tried to give a sales pitch to one of my coworkers on them watching 90's Star Trek.
"It's got wild energy. One episode will be about wacky time-travel hijinks and then the next episode will be about the horrors of attempted genocide. Manic tonal whiplash, that's the Trek guarantee!"
Holy shit people weren't kidding about that Arcane show being absolutely gorgeous. Like, almost certainly the best looking 3d animated show I've ever seen. The character designs and animations are incredible. The cast did amazing work as well.
Also, the story was...actually good? And kind of...bold? If thats the right word. After I was a few episodes in and I grocked what was happening, my jaw barely left the floor till it was over.
I hope it was as successful as it seems like it was and they can make more, because hot damn.

Season 2 is already announced, so there will be at least that much.

Currently on the episode where Picard gets de-aged which is a silly fun episode that firmly establishes O'Brian is not into 12 year old girls.

Also, "he's my number one dad" is a great joke.
The kid actors in that ep are generally excellent, but I find that one scene is much more amusing if you imagine Patrick Stewart stamping his foot and demanding to see his father NOW NOW NOW NOW

Isnt that actor Remmy too?
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
There's something about the way Cena's character will use very stupid metaphors, but is at least one or two steps ahead of the low hanging fruit joke about it, which i find very endearing.

Yeah this was my take on the scene too if I was right about the rules.

Oh shit. Is that the episode about dating older socialites?
Yes!
Never made the connection till you said that. Had to mentally scan through the eps within my mind palace and then it clicked.

hey, this looks neat
Eagley must be protected
Looks like it'll either be very very good or quite annoying.
edit: I guess I coulda just looked at the name of the thread I was in, yea?
He also co-starred in Cena's first movie, so this is a fun reunion.
Damn that is exactly the look, isn't it
