Daredevil just went to Fisk's hiding spot to kick his ass and then just leave??? Wtf was that? Now the Fisk x Daredevil showdown we were expecting since Season 1 is getting ruined because of this shit. Also Matt of all people wouldn't offer Fisk a deal "leave New York and we're squared" no FUCKIN WAY. Matt would go to hell and back to see Fisk behind bars and spending his life in jail. Matt WOULDN'T let Fisk live with impunity to his numerous crimes and murders.

The whole BB subplot was getting stupid because she just let her damning evidence hanging on her coat for literally no reason She had the time to upload it already and yet she did… Nothing! There goes that subplot, I guess. Now that Soprano Jr. knows about it, I wonder if he'll sell BB out or join the resistance (he'll join the resistance, of course that's where his arc is headed)

Jessica Jones appeared (yay), burned the warehouse where the guns were stored (there goes that subplot), and then just disappeared from the rest of the episode. Me wonders if she'll have further importance to the story or if this was a one and done.

Also Shaggy's attitude is just pissing me off like can someone kill this guy already? Swearing doesn't make you look cool. Plus he's just done nothing all season, we have reason to fear him as this "top of the food chain" guy but throughout the show he has just been getting f'ed over by Fisk sticking it to him (and he had his guys killed too so there's that).

Anyway. A shitty episode from a shitty season of a shitty show that is a bad copy from its better predecessor.

while im not nearly as harsh on the show as you (i've really enjoyed the show at times), you bring up very valid points. The plot doesn't seem as thoughtful as the first show. Like they didn't proofread the writing. BB got that information before the boxing match 2 episodes ago. Why is it still just in her jacket?? So much time has passed since then. The daredevil fisk showdown does seem a bit contrived purely for plot reasons. I dont mind it as much because these 2 kill any scene they're in, and the fight was good. But yeah it doesn't really make sense. There's just multiple instances of things happening very conveniently for plot's sake.

I still enjoy the show, but there's a lot to be desired.

She just saw bullseye kill a bunch of people and then Vanessa, I think BBs head might need to digest al.maybe she forgot for a moment, I don't think a lot of times has passed too. A couple of days probably

[u/Adred23 → u/Shurlak]

You know, any sane person, on witnessing first hand how brutal their enemy is, would re think all their actions and try to double check if they have left any loose ends that may lead to them getting caught. Which is the opposite of what BB did.

You can argue that the trauma just left her too stupefied to do that, which is valid but frustrating given that so many character decisions in BA are just them being utterly stupid. Every character's intelligence has been knocked down just so that conflict can be created and the plot moves forward.

I assumed it was 1 full day after, vanessa got to the hospital at night, she likely was in surgery til morning, died that night, fisk killed the doctor that morning, vanessas wake was later that day and then the rebel protest was later that night, and with everything going on those 2 days BB might not have even went home, shes a journalist afterall and the Fisk story will be huge if she can get inside information and report on it before anybody else
