“I’m not big on guns.”

Right? I LOVED "Assault". I remember yelling at the TV, "Don't bother with the rocket launcher! Nobody ever hits with that (usually because they were shouldering it wrong, it's like they never saw Rambo)! Go for the grenades!"

My wife now asks me "And what is that?" any time a toy appears onscreen. I don't know that I should be proud or sad that I almost always have the answer.

Man, I wanted to be on American Gladiators so badly. Too bad I was like 12 when it came out. I wanted to wipe that smug look off Nitro's face and make sweet, sweet love to Lace.

I don't need to see every last interaction he has with his friends to know that if they all enjoy basketball, and they all hang out fairly regularly, they'd know he could play prior to us seeing him on the team.

" they all seem to come from a kid who desperately tries to prove (to his mother/wife) he was'nt wrong and knows what to do."

While in general, I'd agree with the stereotype about non-athletic Asians, you have to note that the team appeared to be made up entirely of Eddie's friends (and Dimitri), so they'd already know he could play.

I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing him onscreen with RDJ, Hemsworth, ScarJo(!) and the rest at some point…

I assumed he either heard it when she put the clutch on the table, or noted that there was something heavier than usual in there, and made a logical assumption.

Six eps in and Foggy and Urich are the only two (non-supervillian) characters who have not had the ever-loving shit kicked out of them onscreen yet. At least Karen and Claire got some licks in.

Exactly. If I didn't know the comics relationship, I'd be saying, "WTF?"

My dad and I coached my little brother's CYO team for years, and every year there was at least one man-sized 11 or 12 year old who was the de facto star by virtue of being a foot taller than everyone else. Sure. most of them couldn't dunk…

I don't really see that on this show. Jessica is a strong woman, for sure, but both she and Louis are equally likely to do something childish or nonsensical in any given episode. Louis buys a mechanical bull; Jessica ditches her real estate exam to eat ice cream. Louis buys a commercial hair dryer; Jessica runs over…

Yes, I'm aware of this, but the actual things happening on the court - Louis making the ball zip needlessly around the opposing players, the spirit animal erupting from his chest after he scored, etc - all screamed "They ripped this straight from Shaolin Soccer." The only thing missing was Louis wearing some…

I was hoping Eddie was going to tie in his plan to foul the shit out of the other team with the success the NY Knicks were having with that strategy in the 90s.

"And while I could understand if it was just a tossed-off reference, Eddie imagines his father playing basketball in the same aerial martial-arts style used by the characters in the film."

I didn't think that scene was dumb, either. It was more like Karen hamfistedly saying, "I'm interested in Matt, not you, Foggy. But you're cool to hang around and go on legal adventures with." I mean, even when he's not around (which is all the time), all they do is talk about Matt. Where's Matt? We should go get…

I studied Mandarin for a year, and my immediate takeaway the first time she spoke was that she was speaking slower and enunciating more than any fluent Mandarin-speaker I've ever heard (I'm nowhere near good enough to comment on accents), but I assumed that was because she's talking to a non-native speaker (Wesley)…

Leland Owlsley is rapidly becoming the Ralph Wiggum of Daredevil, where everything he says imminently quotable and hilarious.

That was the "sorta". Batman is beating on the Joker for info on Harvey and Rachel's whereabouts, thinking he's "interrogating" him, while Joker laughs in his face. But he does give him the wrong info, which Bats immediately accepts and dashes off to Rachel's doom.
