In August of last year, I wrote my longest posts yet (now second longest since this one is even more of a monster), detailing scenes and details from the first season of Daredevil in which the viewer is reminded, directly or in more subtle ways, of Matt's de facto blindness. I'd already prepared the background notes for that post when certain events prompted me to put them out there. I won't rehash everything here, but I invite anyone who is interested to read that post again for my longish … [Read More]

A scorched Earth approach to relationships – AKA my thoughts on Jessica Jones S2
So here's another thing to get out of the way. And I do sort of mean get it out of the way, because spending very much time on the topic would not be time well spent. I saw the second season of Jessica Jones during the weekend after it came out, and I haven't rewatched it since. Nor do I feel inclined to. Not because it was an awful twelve plus … [Read More]
On writing a book about Daredevil science
As the old saying goes, one swallow does not a summer make. In this case, it means that if I write post about how I'm back and blogging again, I'd better follow that up with second post to show I mean business! For now, I wanted to get back to something I mentioned in my last post: The book! I should probably make one thing clear up front. I don't … [Read More]
On being a Daredevil fan, 600 issues later
Daredevil just passed the 600 issues mark. Meanwhile, this site (very quitely) celebrated its 10th anniversary a little while back. The very first posts, three of them, went up in December of 2007. In March of 2008, I posted the next batch of posts and this site slowly started taking off. Well, in terms of readers anyway. I've never made any money … [Read More]
Will Frank be to Karen what Elektra is to Matt?
Hey gang! Yup, I vanished for a bit (again). I started a new job last Monday and ended the one before it in quite a bit of frenzy, so lots of things going on. With The Punisher coming out tomorrow, though, I thought I'd at least elaborate on one thought that occurred to me, and then leave the comments under this post open for whoever wants to … [Read More]
First thoughts on The Defenders (Spoilers!)
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 … [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]
