I look especially at how Trinity has changed from the first three Matrix movies to The Matrix Resurrections, and what this means for her as a feminist character. I also talk a bit about bugs and fourth wave feminism. Enjoy the episode ~~

    For people who are wondering, just as there is Yin and Yang, there is Ju (softness, gentleness and yielding) and go (hardness and firmness). Ju emphasizes yielding, redirecting, and absorbing an opponent’s force. Instead of meeting force head-on, Ju involves adapting to and controlling an opponent’s movements, using minimal force and leveraging their momentum against them. Go represents a more direct, forceful approach, involving strength, power, and assertiveness. Go techniques are about applying controlled, focused force to counter or incapacitate an opponent, meeting their attack with a strong response. This approach is common in martial arts like Muay Thai, where practitioners use striking and direct attacks to assert dominance. Before Shang chi visited ta lo, his fighting style heavily relied on force meeting force and Go fundamentals. After visiting Ta Lo Shang chi’s fighting style became more neutrally balanced to incorporate more Ju style of fighting like his mother. Like I tell my students that Force vs force will most often hurt the wielders of those forces. Michelle Yeoh’s character here is teaching Shang Chi about the rigidity of his technique and training. And she is also teaching him to embrace fluidity and adaptability within his fighting style. Just as Michelle Yeoh does here, I teach my martial arts students to use Go as a tempered extension of Ju when fighting.

    Pretty much all of encounters with the Borg on VOY were well done. Except in Dark Frontier episode where 7 is taken by the queen. Now, most of the events in those 2 episodes were fine, its at the very end when JAneway was in the Queen's chamber that things went a bit... south. Namely in the sense that it took the drones quite a bit of time to try and assimilate 7 and Janeway after the Queen issued the order, and enough time to 7 explain to Janeway about the vulnerability in the node? Nah... they would have been taken by then... I would have preferred if the exchange was modified so that 7 disrupts control and JAneway knew where she had to fire. After that, it was also a tad of a stretch to think that the Flyer could take on that many torpedoes in TW and come out alive, or that the Borg would be missing so many times (but 7 was onboard potentially disrupting the Borg targeting scanners, so that may have played a part, and it wasn't their intention of destroying the shuttle still, but to capture it).
