True, but Rosario Dawson is using the same script written by the same people who are writing the rest of the show right?
A good actor can elevate any material they're given.

How would "My Dinner with Andre" work with that test?

This was a fun episode…. Why couldn't they just do this more often?
I feel like the fighting tournament was supposed to be this in an earlier draft, but it got written over several times.
Iron Fist (the comic and comic character) is patently ridiculous and is more about having fun than telling a serious story.
At least,…

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the near F review.

That… seems like a massive oversight. It seems like both our main protagonist and main villain are from there, as is at least one of the dead parents.
Why WOULDN'T you show it? It seems vital to the story.

If there's an episode set to fully flesh out Danny's time in kun Lun, then it was misplaced. It really should have been before this, or even during. I just hope where they set it serves its purpose.

Just realized what bothers me most about Danny.
He's a person who was raised to eschew material goods and wealth, yet a LOT of his solutions involve money and power in some way.
Seriously, buying the building was super creepy.

I can kinda see why you would think it's sexist, though I disagree.
But why would you say what I said was racist?

Also, loathe as I am to agree with Ward on this, selling the drug at cost, is probably a bad idea.
Yeah, the company can eat the costs, but the money generated from this could go into researching the next life saving drug.
Not to mention, the shipping costs, the legal fees, the salaries that needed to be paid…
what…

so… near the end of the episode, I had a bit of a question.
Why not have the actress who's playing Colleen, Jessica Henwick, be Iron Fist?
Legitimately.
It'd mean the Defenders would be equally balanced.
She honestly seems a lot better of an actor than Finn Jones, though that may simply be the writing of his character for…

So, after rewatching the episode, it dawns on me. The Daughters are Jack. They are literally at his level of skill when he was flung into the future. Thing is, even back then he still had a lot to learn.

Down in front!

Honestly? I excused most of the others because they had style. Or I was having fun. Or the scene was so ridiculous that I could at least laugh at it. The first couple of episodes didn't have a great or unique sense of style. It took itself too seriously to have fun. And it felt ridiculous not in the fun way, but in a…

Okay, Now I'm having some fun. Took a bit, but here we are.
Danny's still an ass, breaking literally every rule Colleen set down in the same episode, except sleeping 'over there', but that more by virtue of not being in the building.
Still, everyone else is snapping into place.
Harold is still… just entertainingly hammy,…

On this episode of "WHY DID YOU? WHY DIDN'T YOU?"
We have, Ward Meechum and him NOT telling Colleen about Danny's breaking and entering of his sister's house or Danny attempting to murder suicide him.
We also have Colleen, the woman who doesn't want to get involved, and then agrees to go directly to one of the people…

Yeah, but where the narritive isn't forcing them into the hero role. At least with the Punisher the story understands he's in a vastly dark shade of grey.

While I watched the Aku section, I was a little skeptical. The season had a good opening episode, but I wanted to see more.
This was a lot more.
Again, the Aku scene was more necessary than properly placed, but the fight.
My god.
The scenery, the movement, the chereography.
Done to the details.
It was gorgeous.
If anything,…

This was… Bad. Which sucks, because for me, while slow, the first episodes are normally the ones I like the most.
Most of my complaints on people's actions can be boileddown to
A) Why didn't you call the police there?
B) Why didn't you just shoot him there?
C) Does Danny have no self awareness?
Seriously,
Not even after…

I'll wait to see in about a month, once THIS news piece has calmed down to see how they're doing.

I remember really liking Tick Tock Clock. It was fun, especially in how you could speed or slow down the level.
