Title: Lock and Load
Post by: Pathfinder on July 25, 2009, 03:18:54 PM: A new show by that name and starring R. Lee Ermy is appearing this Friday on The History Channel. Don't have a time yet, will post as soon as I find out.

The promo features lots of things going Bang (tanks, shells, Ermy holding a 1911 (I think). It closes with Ermy jabbing his index finger at the screen and saying - in his best DI voice - "Guess who's coming to dinner?"

It supposed to be an international force that keeps trouble under wraps. Sounds more like an illuminati force, cause EVERYONE knows the UN is as impotent as Comrade President

If that's the case, bummed probably won't be the most appropriate word to describe my reaction. G.I. Joe "A real American Hero" It's part of the title and is even a lyric in the theme song. I'm sure this is an attempt to increase ticket sales in other countries, but they are messing with something that was a huge part of my youth. It would be like remaking "The Andy Griffith Show" with Andy a crackhead detective in NY... and Barney being African American or Latino. ;D What happened to being proud to be American?

Of course, if you take away the HUGE FREAKIN' THREAD DRIFT about GI Joe, it's really only a page plus. Sigh. :'(

Post by: Pathfinder on July 28, 2009, 06:56:21 AM: For some reason, THC ran an early showing of one episode last Sunday night, which I stayed up and watched (10PM CDT). It was quite good. It was about artillery.

Ermy showed the differences in the 3 types (cannon, howitzer and mortar), and then fired a whole slew of historical pieces starting with smoothbores in various sizes, a rifled 22-pound Parrot gun, a bronze mortar, modern pieces, ending with the NLOS artillery piece that the US Army will be fielding in 2012. Watching the different historical pieces against 4 water filled barrels lined up in front of each other was very education in demonstrating the effects of the shot. As was the triple canister they fired at massed ranks of - what else? - watermelons.
