This post will contain spoilers for the full show, stay away if you're not done watching it! I'll keep this relatively brief though, as this is not a definitive review. I'll probably have more to say after I've at least had a chance to watch it again (I have a Defenders marathon scheduled with some friends tomorrow). So... Wow. And not a good kind of wow, I'm afraid. Despite some excellent moments, scenes and characterizations, I would argue that this is the weakest show out of the … [Read More]

Daredevil season 2 – The relationships and their lingering complications
I ran out of time, and wanted to get this up before the premiere of Defenders. So, for the time being, no pictures. Will add them later. And, I didn't proofread it either so I hope it's legible. :) As I mentioned in my review of episode six, I decided to tackle the tail end of season two of Daredevil in a single post rather than one episode at a … [Read More]
The 50+ ways in which Marvel’s Daredevil reminds you that Matt is blind (for real)
I did not set out to write a manifesto, but I don't really know what else to call this post. A plea perhaps? I suppose what makes it a "manifesto" is the amount of heartfelt emotion that I've put into this post. For as long as I've been a Daredevil fan, I've always been very protective of his "blind side." Regular readers of this blog (which passed … [Read More]

Here's another one of those items on my to do list before The Defenders so let's get to it. I'll keep this relatively brief, and just stick to what I thought were the strengths and weaknesses of Luke Cage. The good Misty Knight is awesome If there's one character I care about more than any of the others on this show, it's Misty Knight. She … [Read More]
Playing “odd one out” with The Defenders
Hey guys! Well, the bad news is I'm back at work. The good news is that we're only just over one week away from the premiere of The Defenders! For both seasons of Daredevil, I've actually taken the day off, but that won't be doable this time, so I'll start watching in the late afternoon my time and just make an evening with. There's a lot to get … [Read More]
The silent ninja conundrum
Well, I could have saved this little detail for my big post about the tail end of Daredevil, season two. But, fearing that it would swell out of proportion in that context, I'm turning this into its own post. Besides, this way it also doubles as a Daredevil science post, and you guys know I can't stay away from those! So, what am I talking about … [Read More]
Review: “Regrets Only” – Daredevil season 2, episode #6
You may think I'm crazy for reviewing an episode that came out over a year ago, but what better way to get caught up, work through my issues with the tail end of Daredevil season two, and prepare for The Defenders? After just re-watching all of episodes six through thirteen in preparation for this review though, I've realized its probably wiser … [Read More]
Defenders at SDCC and the new trailer!
Hey guys! I hope all is well with you. Well, it's been a pretty exciting weekend with a new trailer for The Defenders, the panel at San Diego Comic Con and even a couple of clips. Not to mention a truckload of cast interviews, and reactions from people who got to see the first episode when it was shown at the panel. We're now also beginning to … [Read More]
