Ep4 spoiler:
Graveyard part was amazing, I was almost crying at the end of the speech, and when Daredevil let that tear fall... man the feels. Amazing script and Bernthal is amazing as the Punisher.
Also Elodie Yong is an amazing Elekra as well.

The ending should have had a bigger punch sotospeak. That I can agree with.
Sorry, not feeling the actor.
Whether or not Matt is a douche, Cox is still pretty good in the role.

Episode 6 Spoiler
HOW THE FUCK CAN A DUDE WHO MURDERED 37 DUDES GET PAROLED IN 25 YEARS
Agreed, he's a pretty crappy actor.

Finished Ep. 10. This season has been pretty good so far. Much more consistent than last season.
Bernthal is great as Castle.

Oh man I feel way opposite of this. I'm tired of hearing Foggy give Matt a hard time, tired of his earnest whining, and tired of the I'm-an-all-around-doofus-until-that-moment-when-I-can-spit-out-precident moments.

Foggy is that awesome of a lawyer. I imagine Frank would have walked if Matt was there.
Matt has been such an utter asshole this season that most people would have long ago dropped his ass. Foggy is a near saint for putting up with it. Ep 7(I think)
I mean not showing up for opening statement? Really Matt?
The worst as in the Worst it could happen to Matt in that moment in his life? Yes. I agree.
She's dat craxk yo, like a damn drug you get hooked and can't nor want to leave. She brought the worst aspects of Matt to the surface.
Is that toxic relationship you had when you know is not good for you, it will not going to last and will end in a bad way for both but yet you can't nor will to end it until it blows in your face.
With the help of Nelson & Murdock, avocados at law.
Ok, mostly Nelson alone.

I'm right at that point in the season. Yeah Matt has his problems but Foggy - to me anyway - seems to play mostly the role of the worrying nag: and however justified, worrying nags are annoying. I was rubbing my temples through that episode where Foggy
spent the whole time begging and pleading to look through the hospital records to see if Matt was checked in somewhere, only to find out... no. Which we the audience already knew by the way. So basically, that was a whole episode of Foggy worrying about shit and breaking up a fight between two characters I don't care about.
I wish they would give him real, meaty, interesting legal stuff to do. That would've been a nice pairing: Matt out at night doing his thing, Foggy really doing law on the cheap.
That's what I feel the show should have been about, the legal stuff. However Electra/Hand stuff has just completely take over and screwed up everything. The Hand elements are (Ep.7)
screwing over what could have been an interesting trial. It's a weaker aspect of the show interfering with the better parts.
Matt was the one who pushed for this case and he's the one that mostly fucked it up, with both of their careers on the line. It's perfectly understandable that Foggy would be angry at how Matt doesn't show up when needed and when he does show up, he screws it up. Matt has also been acting like an addict in that he just can't stop being Daredevil and he's not considering the consequences to the people around him.

So do 4:
What was going on with the Punisher
I watched episode 3 a little buzzed late last night, so this is probably on me being inattentive.
What was going on with the Punisher
slicing his forearm, I assume to escape the handcuffs that were shown, but I don't remember him being handcuffed. Did I miss something obvious?

Ep 5
damn elektra is crazy
He
hid a razor blade in his wound, and used that to cut himself out of the duct tape. The whole thing was pretty stupid, since he would have been fucked if the Oirish mob used handcuffs or zipties.

It's a callout to a Punisher comic storyline where he does the same thing. I assume if it was handcuffs maybe he had a lockpick too.
How far are you into the season?
Looking forward to your impression on The Punisher.
His voice bears a weird meta similarity to current Walking Dead Rick.
An actor like Jon Bernthal would be great in Walking Dead, y'know?
I never heard the similarities while he was on that show though. It's weird. He's got that scary Rick voice down.

Didn't he audition for Rick too?

Finished episode 4 last night. When I'm done the whole season I'll write something substantial but Bernthal is fucking killing it. The end of Episode 4 stirred some emotions.

Episode 7 spoiler
fucking lol at Karen talking through her actual beliefs RE: Frank Castle, literally ALL the spaghetti is falling out of her pockets
Yeah I know what you mean though, he does sound more like Rick as the Punisher than he did as Shane. Shane was still sorta similar to scary Rick in ways though.

Finished it. Man what a disappointing season.
Some real great episodes in the middle but it just fell apart by the end. It was a slog to get through the last three episodes.
Edit: Too many pacing and writing issues. The payoff was also extremely disappointing.

I could see him being a good Rick lol
Probably lol.
Still better than JJ, though
Just finished season 2. Excellent season, a few episodes in the second half feel like they were written out of focus but it gets back on track with the last two episodes.
Hallway Fight II/Stairs Fight was fucking incredible and easily out does Hallway Fight I, and the
fight in episode
was adrenaline pumping. Almost all fights in this season were and there were a lot of fights in this season.
Do I feel like it was better than Season 1? Yes and no. The emotional gravitas was superb in Season 1 while the action is helluva lot better in Season 2. Season 1 had episodes that dragged out while Season 2 had episodes that just jumped from plot to plot, making it unfocused. Although, Season 2 had way mooooore character development.
So, you know... pros and cons. I loved this season. I don't know if I'd rewatch it anytime soon, at least not by myself.

Cant wait to get once again called out as a delusive fanboy when I say that I love this season far more the first one.
