It took a while for the guilt and other emotions he was repressing to work their way to the surface as a resurgence of his condition. That's why he woke up in the middle of the night and had to turn off everything electrical.

Maybe the atheist would just disappear, since that's what they believe will happen. No afterlife at all.

Nah, nuclear waste isn't a problem if it's staying in one spot. And many of the nuclear reactors might not be a problem if the meltdowns don't breach containment. They'd be lethal inside the containment structures, but less radioactive on the outside. Some might slowly leak small amounts of radiation for centuries,…

I love your ideas!

Into The Badlands has much better fight scenes than Iron Fist. That show is all about the fighting, if those scenes didn't work it would have nothing else. But Iron Fist should also try a lot harder to do exciting fights.

You are absolutely correct that raising the dead would be enough by itself to give them control over anything. It's hard to believe that Harold is the only rich dude they resurrected in exchange for a (new) lifetime of service to the Hand.

That would've been great, but the movie and TV divisions are totally separate now.

Tony Stark could give him some advice on how to set that up.

He did it to mess with his father. We could hear the phone buzzing as he took out the bag, so it's safe to say Harold was watching and trying to tell him not to do it.

It's a moment that reveals a character trait that would otherwise be hidden.

I think they want the shows to be independent of each other, so they keep "confusing" references to a minimum.

I wish I could upvote you more than once. Bravo!

It's weird that as of this episode, Ward doesn't act psychotic. He seems more trapped and unimaginative than malevolent. It doesn't square with that childhood flashback at all.

And he was on some serious medication at the time.

> His first stop should have been to a lawyer.

Yes! This is exactly it.

Fisk could certainly have shown up in Jessica Jones, since she lives in neighborhood he was trying to transform. But I guess that would have thrown the timeline out of whack.

I know it's impossible, but it would have been great if they set the whole show in K'un-Lun! Make it fantasy all the way, with glowy fists and punching people thirty feet into mountain sides. Set up the New York connection for Defenders in the last few episodes…

That's possible. We can't prove anything about how the real system works, since so much was Michael's deception. Mindy's Medium Place could be part of that, but it felt more real to me.

It wasn't really needing attention. (Because that doesn't sound very evil.) She was jealous of the way her parents always favored the sister.
