Which I think was why they did the "30 Days style Vampires vs Survival Guide style Zombies" episode for the series finale. If you're not getting a fourth season, why not just go for broke and do something riduclous? What are they gonna do, cancel you again?
I figured they were running out of ideas. Lets face it, they covered the majority of weapon and armor types, so then they switched to historical figures which turned most of the battles into intangibles. Like, it was less about is an odachi better than a claymore, and more "Well hannibal fought like this, while general lee fought like this. So and so was crazy while such and such was believed to be holy." That sort of thing.
