It's disheartening just how resistant the audience on this site can be to discussing any pop culture media that falls outside the basic structure of 'white guy does a thing'. Think of how much digital ink has been spilled over shows like Mad Men or True Detective or Breaking Bad hereabouts; good shows, sure, but also…

But those reveals are exactly the kind of stereotypes that people are complaining about, mystic asian villains and what not. We can do better than Frank Miller in the 80's now. The show just… hasn't.

Frank has a point in the very first part of his speech to Karen - that the people you love are the ones who have the real power to hurt you, and the implication that you cannot hide from potential negative experiences without also hiding from positive ones. But he takes that point and drives it off a cliff by the time…

I'm like 90% convinced that purpose of Frank's mission is not really the killing of the Blacksmith himself, but a long bloody suicide. Like I don't think Frank has a plan for what he's going to do after he avenges his family, if that should ever happen. It's just supposed to be 'over' and the only place I could see…

I'm amused by the idea that he sat in her car digging through tapes until he found one he liked.

Eh, I don't think they earned their bonafides re: Gao last season. They started out well, with a sense of humor towards common Asian stereotypes of her character type: everyone being annoyed when Leland thinks that Nobu will understand her even though he's Japanese, the fact that she was faking poor English skills to…

Joni Mitchell hasn't been well lately.

Does 2016 just have it in for music legends? Someone put Stevie Nicks and Aretha Franklin in bubble wrap.

They also could have hired a journalist as a consultant for what Karen's writing ought to sound like… spoiler alert: they do not.

I will do my best.

For whatever reason the one that bugs me is the way Frank's x-ray looks like the Punisher skull. I understand what they were trying to do but human eye sockets don't look anything like that. I keep thinking that it would be a genuine bone deformity.

I had no idea, and now I am even more annoyed. I hate when producers or whoever close off storytelling possibilities like that.

Sir, I object. Free snacks are a rare and beautiful thing in this world.

Foggy was very #relatable to me in that moment, as I too would dig in to the free cheese rather than picking up attractive people.

Eh, they're trying to give her a more interesting role than "Matt and Foggy's" secretary. So I can put up with a little clumsiness for that. I just wish they hadn't sacrificed Ben to do it - it would have been better if he stuck around and was her mentor like last season. The show does make it clear that she's a…

I thought for sure he was lying to Frank too, and Dutton was just going to turn out to be some random asshole that Fisk didn't like. Eventually Frank is bound to murder someone who isn't guilty of whatever he thinks they're guilty of anyway, so…

That prison fight is the most brutally beautiful thing I've seen outside of Mad Max: Fury Road. There's no one in television who can shoot action better than these guys. I can get annoyed with ultraviolence pretty quick, but it's hard to look away from on Daredevil for whatever reason (see also: Bryan Fuller,…

Too good and too painful. I would read these stories of yours.

It's such a weirdly unhealthy relationship. As it goes on you can see that she's actively making an effort to make herself more palatable to him; and yet she's getting nothing from him as a boyfriend. He's barely even around. It would be one thing if the show acknowledged that but it only does so halfway. It's just…

Yeah, I think she's energetic and fun and gets better later on as we start to get to know Elektra a little better. But Oliver also finds the Matt/Karen stuff believable whereas I think they create a weird charisma void every time they share a scene. Two great tastes that do not taste great together.
