The title character is a black man who was raised in a martial-arts dojo after his father was murdered by an assassin. He seeks revenge, and the recovery of his father's hachimaki headband, which identifies the wearer as the world's greatest warrior. The (very violent) action takes place in an alternate reality that juxtaposes samurai duels with cell phones and cigarette lighters.

Maybe I could save it up with The (white) Rapper Show and make a cross-cultural double feature.

Moving up:

With Lost going on winter hiatus, Heroes moves into the Top 5. And to think I was really bored with the first episode. Also on the move? Veronica Mars is up to #8 and Breaking Bonaduce is #9, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and the Saturday repeats have moved back into the top 10.

Moved on Out:

The Nine. I wanted to love it. I really did. I'm still curious about what happened in the bank but the PTSD drama of the characters after the hostage situation is just really, really boring.

Nip/Tuck. Two weeks with no interest in watching your episodes and you gotta go.

So, uh, 8. At least that's everything with computer insides (although I suppose I could've included the microwave if that's the case). The video iPod (black mamba) might count, too, but I think of that as an extension of the mini so it doesn't get a separate entry.
