Genesis Rodriguez Interview: Lioness Season 2, Zoe Saldaña Fight, and Flying Helicopters

[@J.ChrisSmith]

Great interview! Although I didn't think the scene was believable...I don't think any military officer would act like that...not knowing exactly who Zoe's character was. Other than that I loved the first 2 episodes of season 2! I can't wait for more episodes!

A warrant officer might…but not a captain.

She is so beautiful.

I like this show for what it is. A military drama/thriller. It’s not the most military accurate show. There are some glaring issues that any modern vet would catch

[@MrDaBears83]

So you worked with the Cia and Dea.. Nice

[@demonslayer9551]

@@MrDaBears83 never said I did. Just basic military things that any modern vet would pick up on. She’s an Apache pilot but she comes flying in on a Blackhawk. Episode 1 they getting chased by cartel on road and stop, turn and open fire on a whole 5-7 enemy vehicles w/ 3 being technicals with mounted guns. That stuff would never happen. They would get destroyed those 3 vehicles easily. It’s cool show to watch. The action thriller/drama is fun. But any modern vet would catch easily

@@MrDaBears83 This show has a lot of ground warfare. It's not a CIA spy thriller. Sadly too many people have been put in that situation and have experience with it.

Great show BUT I expected more realism in the Lioness. Rodriguez’s character is an Apache (AH-64) pilot but what do we see her show up in? A Blackhawk (UH-60). Then later, without any mentioned training, she’s flying an OH-6. No one in the army is cross trained (or current/qualified in more than one at a time) in this many machines, especially helicopters that fly in totally different roles - AH (Attack), UH (Utility), OH (Observation). This is as far out as in movies where an ER doc is performing neuro surgery or a heart transplant.

[@demonslayer9551]

As a Marine vet, I noticed this right away. I was like “why she flying a Blackhawk, with some heavy weapons setup?” …chalk it up to movie magic and no real military consulting onset.

It's not a documentary

[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

​@@demonslayer9551 that's probably all they could get on short notice and wanted to save money and not CGI it into an apache.

[@Neojhun]

Gah the characters in the show actually talk about it. She's just a magical character that can fly anything. Chalk it up to being intentionally not realistic.
