I stood on top of the dragon's smoldering head and announced, "I killed this burning bastard!"
The villagers stood there, gaping, for some moments.
Then one of them said, "We paid you to kill the maiden."
"I'm sorry, what?" I said.
"The maiden, the witch. She's the one burning our crops down."
Another villager piped up and said, "That's Old Bill. We rather liked Old Bill."
"You liked a dragon?" I said.
"He was a wyrm. But he's so old, he can't chew. We've been feeding him stew and he's been keeping the robbers away," a different villager said.
There was a long stretch of silence as the villagers and I just stared at each other.
So anyway, that's how I got this pitchfork in my arse.

Riding the wave of the current 20th Century revival, Atlantic's new show has quickly proved a crossover hit, and not without reason: it's colourful, kinetic, and delightfully dumb, with a thick layer of cheese to ensure that if you're too old to engage with it sincerely, you have plenty of reason to watch it ironically. It's also reportedly cheap to produce, re-using footage from the Japanese sentai show Three Swords Dragoon, and padded with new material to transport the action to a California High School. Both shows are runaway cultural juggernauts, but like the landfill's worth of plastic toys they're already producing, their legacy will be long-lasting, and quite possibly toxic. The
