I know it's still forthcoming, but I thought Bakuto was substantially worse as a villain than Diamondback.

One thing they could do - just off the top of my head - is make the episodes 45 minutes instead of pushing an hour. You know, like almost every show for the first sixty years of the medium's existence.

You do not understand correctly. First rule of this show: No one has a plan. Everyone is winging it.

"I believe it's entirely within the capability of television writers to tell a strong story that lasts 13 episodes or however many episodes the initial order happens to be."

I think it's disingenuous to suggest that K'un-Lun has nothing to do with Chinese culture.

The minute he came out of the mirror I couldn't help but say "Your clothes. Give them to me."

To this day he still gets super-strength during near-death experiences, which I think is a nice subtle touch.

Hoo boy, that ending. I guess next week we'll see just how much of a Deus Ex Arboretum the stick really is. Can it only heal the dying, or can it actually bring people back from the dead?

It's also immensely frustrating to see anyone argue for pacifism when the entire Netflix universe that's been built at this point seems designed to disprove it.

I'm gonna be honest, what Bakuto's up to is still mysterious to me as well, and I finished the season.

But she gains nothing by being captured and doesn't actually escape until Danny releases her in the finale.

Well, based on the rest of the series, her three weeks of classes with Colleen have made her good enough to fight them off with no trouble at all, so she still picked the worst option.

Do the Hand really give a shit about Claire?

That's what happens when you make your hero's goal "Stop the bad guys, assuming they ever actually do anything."

If there's this much controversy around Danny not being Asian, I don't even want to think about the arguments we would be having if K'un-Lun was in NYC.

It's a bad plan, but if Claire doesn't like it, she can always turn the fuck around.

Didn't it 'have to' be in China because that was the factory Wendell was on his way to when their plane crashed?

It's pretty obvious what happened here.

The amount of blatant projection that's evident in every single thing to come out of his mouth is staggering.

It's both. They're aggressive pricks towards people who have less power than them, and cowards when dealing with people with more.
