She reminds me a LOT of my grandmother, which, honestly, may be why I love her so much.

Still soldiers, still armed with modern weapons… and they still think Danny knows what he's doing. Bakuto was genuinely shocked that Danny didn't know how to heal, for instance.

Yeah, that whole sequence was just a delight.

This was the episode where I finally, fully started to feel sorry for Ward, especially since the series has now shown that he, much like Danny, has no real idea what he wants out of life other than to be free to decide just that.

They do ultimately explain that. The Hand knows what a COMPETENT Iron Fist can do, even when encountered by a modern military, and they seem to have no idea that Danny barely knows how to use even the most basic part of his powers.

Yeah. There's a reason that, despite people actually liking the character BECAUSE he's so over the top, DC killed him off a few years back.

I'm just assuming Captain Atom and the Ray cleaned that up behind the scenes and nobody has any reason to ever reference it again.

This is why Talia drinks. :)

Partly because it's become clear since that he really, really doesn't.

Camelot is weird in the DC Universe, in that it's a recurring archetype. We have DOZENS of them popping up throughout history with different principals with the same names and concepts. Jason Blood and Madame Xanadu's Camelot is different from EITHER Shining Knight's Camelot, which is different from the one where the…

I have to point out that the Punisher indeed does admit that his crusade is at least partially about killing people rather than justice, that he enjoys it, and that he's immune to Ghost Rider's Penance Stare because he doesn't have even the slightest bit of guilt about doing so. Imitating him is an instant-kill…

It's actually one of my favorites from the first season, since it minimizes both on-screen Vandal Savage and Kendra.

An unstoppable assassin who has went rogue and was supposed to be Winter Soldiered until the day that the Soviet Union fell to the US, only to be a doomsday device. He was an anachronism the day he was created. (Although I have to admit I unconditionally love the idea that he's obsolete because the Soviets had no idea…

He does have one called the NKVDemon. It's every bit as screwed up as it sounds.

With his chemical engineering background, I suspect he's something akin to Metamorpho. :)

The fact that Rip was the one who specified which candy and that what Jax created was apparently GREAT makes it even better.

Oh yeah, but he drags down Mon-El to the point where the whole affair is objectionable. :)

Heck, I want to see him in Defenders as the Dr. Strange fill-in. :)

In fairness, Bride of Nine Spiders as we originally meet her in the comics would eat Danny Rand at this stage ALIVE. (Possibly literally.) So I assume she's still growing and advancing herself.

Me too, and I'm never quite sure if that's intentional. We know, strangely enough, that being able to control spiders lets you control her too, thanks to the Spider Island crossover, so I'm actually wondering how much of her is really still anything recognizable as human psychologically.
