boob tube, watched a lot of pretender, building to tonight's island of the haunted, and so many twists and turns to that show, back to where they started, but starts to sound like shades of dune, of the bene gesserit, of genetics and saviors. like jarod and ms. parker should get it on and produce some offspring, most likely in the prophecy in the scrolls, who goes on to rule the world, or something like that. but on to all those new robot combat shows. two things, they should allow projectile weapons, chains, stakes, no bullets, but catapults, slingshots, harpoon guns, that sort of thing. the other thing would be to give contestants a certain amount of explosive material they have to build into the robot, such that fights actually cause explosions, and pieces will go flying off all the time. that would be sweet. but my idea, is piercings, awls, things that punch through. but you'd also have to deploy blades after penetrating an opposing robot, and turn it on to jellify the insides of some other mechanical beast. or, have one machine that splits up into three smaller ones that you can control independantly, to attack from multiple sides. or something that jumps, cause different is cool.
