    Skip this one - not useful to the story

    The extremely assumptive Pro-BLM crap was such an exhausting waste of time. I was hoping that somewhere it would get back to the story, but even the end of the episode glossing back to the original mission was only a minute before it got back to the fraudulent presentation of a Terrorist Organization, dedicated to violence. But like Islam - a religion of peace - the MSM is selling the benevolence that does not exist in BLM. I hope the next episode doesn't disappoint as much as this one did.

    . If someone wants to think that this contains spoilers - the only spoiler is that it is what I have said - pass this one by.

    Jumped the Shark with Bogus Politics

    Absolutely nothing relating to Kung Fu happens in this episode. It is all about the BLM riots, looters, and victims of police.

    As somebody pointed out Chemical Engineering is not an Associates Degree (two years) that is taught in community colleges. I was surprised that they did not say that the skate-boarding victim was a neuro-surgeon from the Dougie Houser Medical School. The need to make the story even more ridiculous than it was is normal for the CW network.

    Kung Fu girl's parents get their Harmony Dumplings restaurant vandalized, and the response is to go outside and hand out water bottles. It would have been a better story if her parents got robbed by the rioters. After the parents claim the community is shutting down all the stores, Kung Fu girl's Dad sends her over to buy more water bottles at the Chinatown market. A little consistency would be nice.

    Finally, when the police come into the Harmony Dumplings restaurant, which is now harboring rioters and a fugitive, Kung Fu girl shames the police into leaving. Really classy way to support her community, and also totally unrealistic.

    I tried to give this garbage a chance, but it jumped the shark with this political activism episode. Not even one minute was spent on the Kung Fu storyline regarding the mythical weapons, or anything related to Kung Fu.

    Durant was studying Chemical Engineering in Community College.

    What Community College gives out ChemEN Degrees?

    Isnt a Community College 2 years thats enough time to get thru pre requisites.

    The Girl is making a Juice in a Blender?

    Like who is writing this stuff.

    Very Believable.

    Sensitive subject matter this ep

    I think the writers handled it well seeing how the heavy social atmosphere is at the moment. They managed to show three povs: BLM the effect of riots on the small businesses that were hurt by some violence/defacing of property and those who have suffered hate against Asians. As important as this ep may have been in did kind of feel like filler.

      A sign at the memorial has the Canadian spelling of "honour," instead of the American "honor." The show is filmed in Canada.
