The women's road to Wrestlemania once again took so many baffling turns. First, they do the Charlotte/Dana match where they basically have Charlotte barely survive against Dana and make no effort to try to draw on Charlotte, who of the two is in the Mania match two weeks from now. At this point I'm kind of

While the tag team title match setup was… confusing to say the least, I did really appreciate the work the commentary did to explain why the Good Brothers attacked Enzo and Cass before the match started. And there is a weirdness to how they've been positioning E&C, which I perhaps naively hope is intentional as they

While I did overall like Triple H's promo, that segment went bizarrely long considering that they weren't going to bring Seth in for it. Still, there was a lot of nuance stuff I like, for example the nosebleed section tickets and how Cole sold that Seth's not going to be cleared, and Trips really tried to get the

Two things about the drug price storyline:
-I understand what they were trying to convey, but Danny felt like a horrible business man there as producing and researching that drug also required funds. So Danny probably just caused Rand Enterprises huge financial losses instead of just asking if they could charge ten

I actually feel this is a constant problem with the show as it continuously pushes explanations of events later in the show. I think the show runners think that they are building some great mysteries with big payoffs, but the problem is that those questions don't feel compelling, but rather just lazy writing.

You know, the exchange at the beginnig of the episode just made this whole mess so worth it.

Yeah and that was actually probably the most interesting character development the show has been willing to do so far. The fact that Ward was willing to sacrifice himself as the villain of the story there in order ot shine up Danny was a really intriguing approach.

Which the show has not, in anyway, at this point effectively established? What the reviewer wrote literally happened in this episode where Danny easily beat Colleen in a martial arts bout. I don't know what happens later, I've only watched these three episodes so far, but we can only react to things that happened in

I want to ask something from more learned minds than mine as this drove me nuts during this episode. Could you seriously identify an adult person from a smudged fingerprint they made when they were ten or younger? Wouldn't there be so many questions about that print that any attorney worth their money would be able to

The Rand Industries subplot is driving me nuts and not just because it is really boring. I think the concept of Danny feeling important to honor and hold on to his father's legacy is actually conceptually really good and should give great insight in to his character, but the execution is just so deeply lacking. To

The way they keep delivering dialogue in these first three episodes is really weird. There are just several scenes where the dialogue is deliver as follows: Few lines, pause, few more lines. Pause. Response, pause, response continues. There is probably also looking at the ground pensively or something like that.

Yep. That scene also showed how bad the casting was as Finn doesn't have any fluidity in his movements which made that scene of him showing off feel so off.

Danny and Joy really rode their priviliges in this episode. Danny apparently feels he is the right person to talk in every situation and that when told to do something he doesn't want to do, it is more of a gentle recommendation than an actually explicit command. As for Joy, the age thing still drives me nuts. So she

To me the 'how do you prove identity' question just feels so weird as apparently the claim is that there are no living relatives from neither of her parents family? Nor there are any remains of their family as can't you do a DNA test from dead tissue? Anyone should feel free to correct me on that as I am not certain.

Not a total ripoff as they obviously wanted to avoid having someone as charismatic as Jack there. Might have made the time feel like it was actually passing by.

My favorite part about that plan is afterwards Misty is able to get pictures from the moment of the crime that clearly shows that it wasn't Luke Cage, but just didn't feel like sharing that crucial piece of evidence.

While the window panel message was probably one of the coolest moments in the episode, it is hard to get excited about the Hand as your villains after Daredevil. Still hoping they bring Gao over as I really liked the actress.

Which is fitting as after fifteen minutes I was shocked that there was 45 minutes left.

I realize that it is only two episodes in, but I am utterly confused about how they are setting up Danny's character journey. In the first episode we saw Danny struggle with rage issues and I was assuming the character arc for the show would be how Danny needed to find inner peace/balance in order to truly embrace his

But there's a difference in not having people skills and understanding the modern world. Just because someone is socially awkward doesn't mean that they wouldn't undertand why a psychiatrist doing your mental evaluation might have issues with stories about mystical cities.
