Two things, 1) I agree, I do think she will be dead when the next episode opens. But since we saw her still breathing (gasping and apparently losing consciousness, but still gasping) at the last shot I did not want to pre-judge. With that said, not sure we can 100% call it a fridging (at...

Looking back at ep 4, they did a good job foreshadowing Vanessa's "fall" ( can we say for sure she is dead yet?). Fisk's own warnings, of course, because he knew he was baiting Bullseye but did not let her in on it, but also the talk with the Governor about reigning in Fisk's worst impulses...

Good point.

Indeed. But I did think it strange that there was no mention of him at all. Maybe episode 2? Cheers :)

I am not sure we can assume that. Dialogue from multiple characters in the first episode referred to vigilante trials in the plural. But we only saw Swordsman in the episode itself. There must be others to go on trial and Punisher would seem to fit. But then again, he is the model for the...

Yes, I caught that first time around. Based upon what we have seen I have to assume this occurs before Thunderbolts in the timeline, but not 100% sure. Anyone else have a bead on that? Cheers :)

Interesting start to the season, with no immediate follow up to the final scene of last season (it is implied through dialogue, but nothing direct in the visuals). I am not sure how to take the turn of Murdock's former girlfriend (the psychologist). Yes, we know she was brutalized by the clown...

Thanks for the link!

I think if we look at the season as a whole then there are three strands that run together through this last episode and if you do not take the full extent of those strands (or character arcs) then you end up in different places. Caleb's arc is going from a child with trauma (despite being...

I imagine that there is something in the last episode about what Braka wants. My own speculation at this time is two-part: 1) Braka wants the Federation, specifically Starfleet, contained so that he can expand his own empire further without any competition or interference. 2) Braka wants to...

Thanks for sharing, although not quite as dark as you think I expect. The comic is all about subverting expectations when it comes to predicting what is next, so ...

Based upon dialogue earlier in the episode I took it that the red zones shown on the star map, and later on screen, were the overlapping sensor nets extending from the mines that would make them explode. So yes, no triggering the Omega. Nus is daring the Federation to cross the line and make...

Imposter syndrome and/or needing to measure up to Dad's achievements & expectations and feeling that if she is not perfect she is not there. Even if her Dad does not actually expect her to be perfect, the example he has set to her for her whole life (she has mentioned many times growing up on...

That, I agree with you. That was a decision made in Discovery that they just brought into this show based upon the shared timeline. It makes no sense in-universe if you think things through. That and the Dr. Who TARDIS like interior of Discovery after refit (with turbolifts that create their...

Agree that the Athena was landed for the episode (and most of the other episodes). In the fiction I don't think it is a very logical way to set things up. It would be a compromise design that would end up being mediocre at doing the things you want it to do (not the best at being a starship...
