Video: Some sensory moments from Daredevil: Born Again, episode 5

I didn't quite have the time to finish my review of episode six, but I hope to have that up by the time episode seven premieres. I did somehow, magically, find the time to finish my video on some senses moments from episode five.

I look at a handful of scenes from this episode, but one I wanted to draw special attention to is one where Matt does... nothing. It can be so tempting for writers to come up with more or less fantastical ways for Matt to sense something, even when he really shouldn't, that it's truly a mark of respect for the character's inherent limitations when they don't. If you want to see what I'm talking about, check out the video below!

I love comments, and this site has plenty of them (several thousand!). For some reason, virtually all comments were being marked as spam for a while. This issue seems to have mostly been resolved. However, if your comment isn't showing up right away, know that I'll approve it manually.

    I also loved that they let Matt be a team player and had Yusuf contribute to the mission rather than jump through supersensory hoops to explain how Matt does it all himself

      I agree. It was also nice that it was a team up with a regular person rather than someone with superpowers.
