Knight vs Pirate was also silly, the Knight didn't have a crossbow.
Did you ever see ThegnThrand's videos on YouTube? He spends a lot of time (probably too much) describing things like what you say.

Does anyone else notice that in every episode, there has to be at least one completely ridiculous weapon? The spit of poison and the ball and chain from the Shaka/Wallace episode come readily to mind...

And don't even get me started on the fact that they spent a quarter of the show touting Alexander's unarmed combat abilities and then had him lose to Atilla the moment he lost his sword.
