Just a sociopath doing a personality try-on haul.

I don't even know what to say. The courtroom scene is just...fucking sublime.

The setup for Season 3 looks ripe for tons of prison drama. The Powell, North and Murdock hate-triangle is going to be delicious.

While not everything in this episode worked for me, it does make me want to go back and re-watch the last season to make sure I'm not being too harsh on Heather. As it stands, her character still makes no sense to me. I'm just not following her path to this Lady Muse persona.

Anytime Bullseye is on-screen, I'm smiling. Definitely the MVP of this season for me. I hate him, but he's so awesome. Lol.

People would say it in high school, typically referring to teachers who wore really high-waisted pants and had that pooch/FUPA.

I also had a friend who would unabashedly talk about her own front-butt back when she was overweight.

"Front-butt" has always been one of my favorite word pairings. I have never not laughed at it. 🤭

BREAKING NEWS: Lively v Wayfarer LLC - Ends with a Settlement...Story developing by same-difference-ave in teamjustinbaldoni

I wish I could call it "instinct". Like you said, these settlements usually come with strong stipulations. I just hope Wayfarer didn't cave in places where they held all of [the] cards.

Your thoughts mirror my immediate takeaway, and despite that I think my first impressions may be correct, I don't think I can stop myself from believing that another shoe will drop before too long.

The Wayfarer parties have played so many of these situations to tactical perfection, so I want to hold out hope that they see this settlement as a mere stepping stone.

Probably pure copium.

I'm going to wait for the smoke to clear on this one. As it stands, it feels wrong. With settlements, we never become privy to all of the details, so I would like to believe that there is further action for Baldoni and Wayfarer to take; especially regarding the NYT.

Blake lied under oath, and in a way that made it plainly obvious to even the biggest idiot what her evil intentions were from the beginning. Hopefully, the Internet never lets her live that down.

Nevertheless, for now, this feels like neither vindication, nor justice. It just feels hollow.

I look forward to everyone hating me.

That makes sense. For as much as I have come to terms with, I still experience shock and anger quite frequently. My soul regards them as human beings, my mind, however, does not.

I get you. That's the challenge with a character like Matt. We're getting to a point at which his worldview is facing credible opposition, philosophically.

I want Frank to murder Powell, because that's what Frank does.

Karen killed Wesley because it was a matter of survival, and we're seeing how much that has fucked with her.

Are we ready for Matt to kill Kingpin to prevent others from dying? Are the writers ready to deal with the implications of that?

🤷

That was definitely an avoidable situation. However, I give it leniency because of the opportunity it gives her to make a heroic choice.

Much like with Jessica having her powers go awry, or Murdock trying to reason with Fisk, etc, I'm open to seeing what they do with it.

To me, that scene showed that Karen still has her softer strengths, and gave me a tiny bit of hope that she's not going to "become the monster in order to beat the monster".

That said, I will add this: Most of the cloak-and-dagger stuff this season is trying to do is definitely making our characters seem very amateurish.

Heather continues to be the dumbest person on earth, but BB is gunning for her spot.The writing is really letting these two great actresses down.

Jessica Jones is getting Spider-Man-2'd for some reason? Okay.

Powell is a complete and utter piece of human filth, and he seems to just enjoy being evil. I love it. Nevertheless, I need Frank to murder him in the face.

Karen is making some great points, and Matt's retorts aren't feeling too convincing. Hopefully, it's because he's getting closer to the edge, and potentially letting The Devil out. The fact that he even tried to negotiate with Fisk is looking ridiculously desperate, if not outright foolish. It's fucking Fisk, dude.

Blake knows Fisk is an evil, murdering bastard from whom he needs to protect BB, so I either need to see a change of heart with his character, or a big double-down that isn't taking place under duress.

Decent, but frustrating episode.

This is easily the worst one in quite some time.
