I think the Logan-Duncan fight in last week's show is just about the lamest one I've seen on TV.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
How so? IIRC I liked how realistic it seemed. It's not like either of them know how to fight.

I think Logan probably does, actually, between his father abusing him, watching the bum fights, and his own scuffles.
It looked like it was staged very badly somehow. I will have to go back and pinpoint it more than that.
Okay, on slomo, at first they were just pushing each other, even after it would have been natural to start throwing punches. Logan finally throws a punch that should have connected to Duncan's face, but suddenly, and somewhat awkwardly, becomes an semi open handed swat to the mid torso.
Given at the end of last season Logan was able to take out Weevil with a kick, I would expect him at least to be a better fighter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm with Perkins. I thought it was a faked fight -- like being faked by the characters. I was surprised to see any blood was drawn, anything bad enough to require bandaging.
It looked like slapstick to me, not angry athletic teenagers.

And now I bow to the expert and just go with "what ita said".

Fair enough. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the fight, I just remember it being kind of amateurish.

I hope it's a funny aneurysm!
I thought it was a nod to the lame Colin Firth/Hugh Grant fights from the Bridget Jones' Diary movies, given the Pride & Prejudice references.

Except, I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It was a really badly staged fight.

Strawberry disappointment.
Looked like a totally bog standard crap fight betwen two people who don't know how to fight. Completely realistic as far as I was concerend.

I can't believe Logan doesn't know how to fight though. I can't see any son of Aaron Echolls not being able to, and we know Logan has gotten into fights.
