1. I have no idea what happened to the cops, but I’m pretty sure that Matt didn’t order that they be killed. I don’t think they were inducted into the Hand either, but I’m obviously just as clueless as the next person and I think this is just a wait and see kind of thing. I will totally agree with you about Matt (well, Diggle really) walking a thin line between doing too much and doing too little. Any writer working on Daredevil is stuck with a character whose readership is traditionally very hesitant about him crossing the line into killing. I wouldn’t honestly mind terribly myself – though that would depend on the situation – but having a character who values life above all else leading a band of assassins is kind of tricky. This will need to be addressed in a more decisive manner than we’ve seen so far, so I agree with you there.

2. But who ordered Foggy’s assassination? Was it the Hand as an organization? Hmm. *goes to look* Okay, I just looked and was relieved that my memory didn’t completely fail me. The hit on Foggy was ordered by the Kingpin and then relayed to Lady Bullseye, so I guess this means that the whole thing was a rogue operation anyway and not something that the main organization would even care about. On the other hand (no pun intended), this brings Black Tarantula and White Tiger’s introduction into the Hand in question. Are you a proper Hand ninja if you were turned by someone with her own agenda? Who knows?

3. I don’t have a problem with the ninjas speaking English. If the premise of how the Hand operates is that they’re a huge organization, I’m sure they’re recruiting not only from Japan, but from other countries as well. Is the fact that they have big conspicuous offices a problem? Sure. I’m not going to argue with you there.

4. Absolutely.

I agree that there are some kinks in the story, they just don’t disturb me that much. I was much more peeved with the first lady Bullseye arc where I felt that her motives didn’t make sense. Some of that cleared up by Brubaker’s last arc, but that added additional wrinkles. Some were resolved by Daredevil #500, but some remain, for sure.

(1) If Matt ordered the killing of the cops (or their induction into the Hand or whatever happened), why does he care if one anonymous Hand ninja kills himself? He’s either hard as nails and determined to take back the streets or he’s not. Pick one.
(2) Foggy is still alive. Thus, Black Tarantula and White Tiger failed in their assassination mission, indicating they are not as they seem. Why has no one noticed this, i.e., why aren’t the other ninja lords onto Matt already? This is just as bad as Master Izo potentially turning up alive.
(3) The Hand is a Japanese organization. Since The List one-shot, we’ve been asked to believe that they’re not just visiting America, but they have huge, conspicuous offices here that everyone knows about. This is a rather radical change. Hell, I think it’s unlikely that the Hand ninjas would even speak English. It just doesn’t make sense. Secret ninja organizations don’t have offices in skyscrapers that are so obvious that Norman Osborn immediately knows about changes in leadership. For a secret society of assassins, they’re not very secret. (Also, if the Hand ninjas are Japanese, as I think they should be, they wouldn’t give a damn about taking back the streets of NYC. Matt’s overblown pep talk would fall on deaf ears.)
(4) Matt’s facial hair should be orange.

Other than that though, I’m pretty much ok. And I do like Becky’s freckles.
