‘Last Samurai Standing’ thoughts, Season 1, Episode 6: ‘Mortal Combat’

“This should be exciting,” I said to my wife as I sat down to watch the sixth and final episode of Last Samurai Standing’s first season. “There should be some cool fights.”

My wife laughed. “I think that’s a safe bet,” she said.

“Well, sure,” I granted. “Then again, I thought the same thing about Shōgun.” The point is, being the final episode of a combat-centric show is no guarantee of combat. Unless, of course, the episode in question is titled “Mortal Combat,” as this one is. In that case you can pretty much rest assured that you are, in fact, gonna see some cool freakin’ fights.

Man oh man, does this season finale deliver on that front.

I reviewed the gangbusters season finale of Last Samurai Standing for Decider.
