@tragedyjones Lol. I don't think I'll even get to finish tonight, because I've got scheduled scenes on two different games. @Tez and @saosmash and I watch together on Rabb.it, which is awesome.
If your scene is on BITN fuck it DD is better!
Lol. Nope, neither are on BITN.

Ep 3 so shh.
-
Ep 8 or 9, and all I have to say here is that KAREN WORKS REALLY HARD AND SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR SHIT, OK.
-
Dude how hard is it to spell Foggy? It doesn't even start with a "K".
I'm a rodeo clown.
-
Foggy also does not deserve this shit, but to be honest he is also giving KAREN shit. So. Everyone should apologize to everyone. Now kiss.

Up until Ep9 some relatively spoiler-less comments from me (but just in case I'M DISCUSSING CHARACTERS IN VERY GENERIC TERMS HERE SO DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE).
Elektra's actress had to grow on me. Her accent is ... inscrutable (and certainly not Greek, it sounds like french/british) and she didn't look the way I expected it. But she grew on me, especially later in the season. Her custome needs work (it's basically a jogging outfit with a scarf!) but then again so was Daredevil's in most of season 1, so maybe they're just waiting to upgrade it.
The Punisher casting was excellent. Instead of going with a Garth Ennis unrelenting, unstoppable stone-cold death machine they went with a more human version of the character at this stage, and the guy is pulling it off.
Foggy is getting annoying. Come on, man, stop with the damn whining. He's Daredevil. He does vigilante stuff. You knew this by now, come on!
And wait, after 13 episodes we gotta wait a year again for season 3? What bullshit is this? <fistshake>
- He who takes offense when not intended is a fool. He who takes offense when intended is a greater fool.
-
You could stretch it out by watching an episode every weekend.
-
The Punisher is killing it. HA get it? But no, really, he's doing a great job. I like the angle they are taking with him.

Lulz. i don't think I've ever disagreed with you about anything as much as I do this.
Foggy was the real hero of this season. He decided very early he wasn't going to be the "chubby bff" and I loved him the entire season through. What you see as whining is, IMO, actual legitimate critique of a situation and actions that are untennable, and the only one who seems to realize that is Foggy.

My apologies.

Y'all are getting into spoilertown. Maybe back it up a little!

@Coin So leave the firm! Report him to the authorities! Cut him off!

Wow, your 'not going to spoil' sure went out the window.
You're wrong, for a bunch of reasons including they are best friends, with a tight, brotherly bond. Stop expecting characters to act with reason and logic that doesn't apply to an emotionally charged situation.
Seriously, this is my biggest pet peeve with people who criticize characters in media: everyone thinks "oh, I would do this because I'm not stupid."
Bitch, please, emotionally charged situations are fucking quagmires and we all do shit that doesn't seem logical to outside observers. If anyone's whining, it's you, because you can't manage to empathize with the only character who is both operating within his moral guidelines and worrying about the people close to him without letting them off the hook for all the dumb-ass fucking shit they pull.

Karen is amazing and I want to marry her forever. Foggy is also amazing and I also want to marry him forever. Matt is such a mess but I still love him. All the bitching he gets he totally deserves.
While I love Matt a lot, really it's the supporting cast that I love the most in this show.
Elektra's accent is probably French, as the actress is French.
-
Try not to quote spoilers, or be more agile when it comes time to remove them.
-
I thought Punisher was the bomb, and I loved Electra.
I fast forwarded through a couple of fight scenes towards the end, if only because I could only take so many Ninja fights in succession. Its a bit of a shame, because the action on this show is very well done and well choreographed, but I think at the end it just got a bit repetitive. Not so with the Punisher fights. The Punisher is the bomb, and that long monologue he gave at the end of the 4th episode? Man, that got to me.
I loved seeing REDACTED again. REDACTED has to be one of my all time favorite REDACTED ever.
ETA: I'm with @Coin on the Foggy question. Foggy is an unsung hero.
-
@lordbelh Your third paragraph there is a pretty significant spoiler.
-
@Roz Is that really a spoiler? That at some point an awesome character will show up again in an unspecified way, at an unspecified time, with no commentary on plot or consequences of said showing up? I don't think its anything close to a spoiler, but what the heck? Redacted it is.
-
@lordbelh I can't actually reply to talk about how much of a spoiler it really is without making it really obvious what the spoiler is I feel but suffice to say that I had no idea it was going to happen at all and I think the shock of it was very intentionally meant to be a surprise.
EDIT: But thanks for redacting despite being skeptical of my reasoning.

Go spoil in the media section with a nice spoilery title if you're bursting to contribute. @Arkandel
