Bruce Lee movies can’t make you a martial arts expert…even when you’re on NZT.
Interestingly, that superhero vibe hasnt gone away as the show has progressed.
Even the style of the show feels comic-esque, with pop-up speech bubbles and saturated colors.

And perhaps the clearest superhero parallel is Brians struggle with identity since hes become NZT Man.
Its an interesting dynamic, and Im glad the show is starting to explore it further.
You cant be Mr.
Happy Nice Guy anymore, Brian tells himself.
You gotta be Badass Brian.
Badass Brian keeps the secrets private.
Badass Brian looks out for himself.
And most importantly, when all this is over, Badass Brian gets to walk away free and alive.
Brian calls on his perfect recollection of Bruce Lee movies, but he still gets punched.
I dont get it!
he says from the floor.
Ive seenEnter the Dragonlike 15 times.
The Garper parents werent around, so Sam essentially raised Chris.
Man, there sure are a lot of recycled romances on this show.
Either that, or you could choke him out until he falls asleep.
(What do a cat, a spaceship, and Jack Black have to do with terrorism?)
And security footage puts Sam Garper in the hospital 36 hours before it was reported missing.
It may be harder to take, but its better to know, right?
After five episodes,Limitlessis in an interesting place.
and the end (Chris death is a punch to the gut).
We are not omniscient, or today would have gone very differently.
And if putting myself first means being okay with what happened to Chris Garper, then Im not playing.
And before he takes his next pill, he shows up at Rebeccas house with her fathers NZT file.
Stay tuned for next week, when Bradley Cooper and his baby blues makes their return!
