    The new Daredevil series just wrapped.  I was hoping to get a background spot in the production but perhaps next season.  Did get to work on the upcoming Penguin series which was very cool. 

    Wow that seems quick for when they first started filming. I'm guessing this won't come out till early next year?

    One hell of a season finale. This had it all. 

    Only thing missing was a check-up on Rex and Rae, but I can forgive them that, considering everything else that happened. Yes, it ended on the exact line fans had predicted, though altered slightly, it was still an emotional bombshell. 

    What did you guys think? Of the finale and the season overall? 

    Enjoyed it a lot.  This didn't get the buzz it deserved because of that really long mid season break they had. Here's hoping it's not another 2 years before we get season 3. Also I'm betting we get a Rexsplode episode before the start of season 3.

    So, what'd we all think of the new episode? I loved it, and I'm not generally too hot on the Sequid storyline.

    I actually preferred Shrinking Rae's death here than Ray's death in the comic. It was far more gruesome, and I actually thought for a second they might change things and have him survive being swallowed.

    They wimped out on Rex. I thought we'd see the gun fire, at least. As is not even my mother thinks he's dead. 

     

    I enjoyed it, not going to lie I've forgotten some details with the comics.  I enjoyed the death you mentioned as they hinted that person would be ok but it wasn't meant to be.

  4. Wow is the first word that comes to mind on the finale.  I thought this season had a strong first episode and the second was ok.  After the first 2 though the plot moved at a snails' pace and not that much was actually answered which brings me to the finale.  I had really strong hopes for it but man it was really bad.  

    SPOILERS BELOW

     

    First thing was the big who did it was absolutely dumb.  The cleaning ladies solved the mystery, didn't tell the cops, and then went seal team 6 to get revenge.  Now how did they know that everyone was in on the murder of Annie K? We don't know in the 2 years in between her murder and their revenge if anyone at Tslal had been switched out, I guess that doesn't matter for mob justice though. The scene with the women walking in during the story was really bad also.

    Second thing apparently scientists can hear things being broken miles and miles underground.  So they then find Annie K (who was a insufficiently_thoughtful_person for even breaking in and thinking that breaking things would solve her problem) and go full maniac and decide to kill her.  Literally all of them just band together when they see 1 of them killing her and just make a pact to kill her.....ummm ok. 

    Last thing, the Navarro story line has really felt like they romanticized suicide.   I think there's more evidence at the end that she did die (it can be debated) but for someone who was shown to be a badass to just hang it up after "finding herself" in the finale felt dumb. 

    All in all this series was a waste of time.  I could go in more for how bad it was but the finale really drove it home.  On the bright side this does make True Detective season 2 look way better now.

    I'm liking it for the most part. But it does feel like it is a short story stretched out over multiple episodes by forcing character backstories without a full reveal - constantly. And that can become distracting in itself.

    But the father getting shot by his son was a surprise for me. That I did not expect.

     

    So I liked the start but the last 3 episodes had very little plot moving parts.  Obviously at the end of the last episode some major things happened but I felt like some characters did some very out of character things.  I'm wondering how this will end.

    I rewatched True Detective season 1 and 3 and they were both miles better than this season. I'm hoping this ending tonight is a good one.
