It really adds to the sense of disappointment with this mini-series, to be honest. It was good and fun, but in the end what was it about? The best actress is written off before it ends, nearly nothing happens, there's no character arc for anybody and the most shocking twist comes as a shock to no one at all because…

I won't miss Alexandra. As excellent as Weaver is, the character was underwhelming. I will miss Stick, though — I could never stand him but he was incredibly charismatic and the cast of Daredevil doesn't exactly exude charisma.

It still doesn't convince me, to be honest. He's usually aware who's in a room with him, I remember he could smell someone who was entering a bulding while being in the building in season 1. One could guess he'd be able to smell his ex. He also later tells her he knows when she's lying, which should indicate he can…

Thought the same. Also thought he would immediately know it was Elektra he was fighting, but apparently Matt's powers and blindness only exist when it's convenient.

We'll definitely keep disagreeing there. I simply don't expect him to recover from 15 years of trauma in 13 hours, and that's not just because I feel that they're keeping that for Defenders (there's a reason it happens to come a few months after the end of the season I suppose) , it's because new problems and traumas…

Yeah, Karen crushed hard on Matt pretty early on. Foggy, in turn, crushed on Karen, and she didn't realize that until the lady pointed out that he looked in love. She didn't take it well at all, so I don't see any romance there.

Karen is a complex character and a wonderful person, to be honest, so I'm not surprised he likes her.

I liked a bunch of episodes before those too, but I do understand that people signing up for more kung fu and more action will be more satisfied with the final string.

I wouldn't know, failed characterization to me is when a character is intended to be a certain way but goes in another direction in spite of the writers' intentions. Danny isn't fully the IF yet by the end of the season (I suspect the end of that journey was kept for The Defenders) so I don't see why he should…

The only thing that shocks me is their shock. What did they think dragons are for?

Yeah, sad thing about IF is its best episodes were its last three but not everyone stuck around long enough to watch them.
The fact that Danny underwhelmed as a fighter was also pointed out by characters several times, but no one seems to mention it when criticizing the show.

It's heavily implied by promotion and interviews (and by this being Marvel and therefore Disney) that they do bond, especially Luke/Danny and Matt/Jessica.

For some reason critics thought that the show was celebrating Danny and not treating him as the traumatized, messed up, needy kid that he is.

Good point.

It's the second most watched of the four right after Luke Cage and apparently one of the most binged shows on Netflix this year.

Are we actually suggesting that scripts were written in March based on IF reviews and not that maybe, just maybe, Danny Rand was intentionally written as a flawed boy whose faults were never celebrated?

I think Mary did wear white, but it caused some shock because in France white was the colour of mourning. On Reign, on the other hand, white just seems the go-to colour for every bride. And to me it's not even about white, it's just they're modern day gowns for heaven's sake (you're going to have to wait for Mary's…

Yeah, but Mary Stuart is probably one of the very few historical people whose story can be told in a movie. The juicy part of her life is basically a handful of years after which you can cut to her execution. It's just that the show had to stuff her entire youth with made up events before noticing that oopsie, we ran…

Did she move on, though? Sure she made eyes at three more men after his death but none of those romances had the weight of her story with Francis for several reasons ranging from "Gideon was an old bore" to "She and Bothwell have known each other for five minutes". Besides, I think that afterlife isn't just about…

I'm actually surprised that they expected another season if not more. Apparently everyone knew they were lucky to even get to 4 but them.
