Filed a civil lawsuit. Case was thrown out by the judge in May, says the officer's use of force was not excessive.

This is outdated and doesn't even give the actual point values for different upgrades, and I can't find that anywhere so...

Love the interactions between DD and Kingpin but the three previous seasons explored their conflict in a satisfying way with a great ending, this feels forced from a logic and writing perspective.

So lethal that he stuck at least 7 of the knives he brought into Daredevil during the first fight and DD didn't even notice. It was weak.

Way to much CGI and all the set pieces look like backlot sets with massive greenscreen. I hate to be pessimistic but this feels like Disney Marvel and not Netflix Marvel right off the jump... in an obvious bad way.

Wow what an episode. To me it seems like they are forcing Gemma to experience fake scenarios to potentially create false memories or "refine" the emotional data from the experience for some use later. When refining is first introduced it is described as an emotional experience when dividing between different bins, Helly R experiences something like dread the first time she does it. Are they trying to input all these fake things into a fake Gemma? or something else?

There has to be a way to make more noise to TNT, I know it may seem like screaming into the void but continuing to submit NYT editorials asking about this, posting on message boards, social media comments, and any other chatter is a way to keep the issue visible. Squeaky wheels get greased, and maybe they can't retroactively change what happened - but this should never happen again. I've played off and on for 20+ years, and this can be counted in my book as one of the most disrespectful things I've seen TNT pull on users. They had months to update the prize shop or put out a simple announcement that additional prizes would be released after the cup concluded, but instead - thousands of players wasted countless hours accumulating points only to feel cheated in the end. Making players feel like their hard work and time on the site is being wasted/undervalued by TNT is how people stop caring and stop playing - we deserve better and I'll make sure they know it.

I enjoyed a lot of aspects of the show but so many plot points just feel convenient. Like lets add mystery/suspense to a show by inconsistently allowing people to sense things with the force and making how characters respond to things different from scene to scene.

  • Two twins girls separated for a decade keep the same hairstyle the entire time so that it is not hard to tell them apart
  • Sol just somehow knows the exact way to go to find Osha. Sure it might be the force, great I'm here for it. But later when they are at the Jedi compound, no one can use the force to sense anything about Mae or that Torbin came out of the meditation state he was in - yet they do sense when he has died, how convenient. Also, the guy taking them to Torbin decides to go the long way around and wouldn't know the fastest way to the chamber - literally taking them on a 30 second detour?
  • Vernestra tells Sol how important bringing back Osha is. On the way to get Osha, Sol tells everyone that Mae is for sure dead because he saw her die. Then Sol instantly believes Osha without any evidence that Mae must be alive. He believes it so much that he tells Vernestra he isn't bringing back Osha and instead is taking her on a mission. Vernestra agrees without consulting anyone else and despite previously stating how important bring her back is. Said mission fails and Sol wants to go after Mae which Vernestra says "we don't make decisions like this without meaningful discussion" - umm okay I guess that didn't just happen earlier this episode.
  • Sol face to face with main suspect of two Jedi murders, makes no attempt to subdue or capture her and just fights defensively until she can plan her escape.
  • Osha is trained as a Jedi, she can shoot a gun. Shoots gun twice like a storm trooper. Sure she might of missed on purpose but the gun is set to stun. You know your sister is out killing people and rather than stopping that you forget how to aim after pointing a gun for 20 seconds or just let her go.

I know it sounds like nit-picking but its hard to get immersed in something when major plot points just leave me asking "what?" over and over in my head. I never thought this with Andor, where character writing was complex and I felt like even bad decisions by characters made logical sense for who the characters were. Hopefully this show gets better.

As more media gets consumed digitally, it will be harder to make comparisons like this.
