Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

I wonder why?

that is the question, it could be The Punisher is coming out to play or Matt is putting the suit back on or a really out there idea: another MCU character is dropping by.

Good guesses, but those seem like they would make them want to stretch it out more, not less. I get the original 2 eps- to get a good momentum. But at this point in the system, they're shortening their tail.

There's some indication they might want it done before their next big Star Wars release. Alternatively, those two episodes are more closely wedded than some so they're effectively two parts of the same episode.

Don't Italian sausages exist? I just figured that's what they were...

Re: Celestial--> It's a big deal, for sure...just not sure how it would impact, mechanically, peoples' day-to-day lives so that they would change in a significant way. At some point, most people would just default to "Yeah...that's really messed up. Anyway, I got a mid-term tomorrow!" I am sure there would be cults revolving around it, but unless that's the focus of a show, it's not going to be emphasized.

Re: Blip--> A much bigger deal. MCU has addressed it...a bit. Not nearly enough. Was anyone in DD:BA "blipped?" Would have been neat to see it mentioned. Maybe the guy who stole the Fiddle Faddle had been blipped? Missed opportunity.

It's early, but...how many of you think Fisk's primary antagonist by the end will be Vanessa, not Matt?

Maybe its intended as a metaphor for "here is a guy that is drinking fine wine with a nice suit....but look at the grotesquery he is consuming....a return to his darker side".


Or maybe they just thought kingpin would like that kind of meal...who knows.

Grotesquery? Italian sausages, peppers, penne, and some Parmesan cheese - a relatively simple meal but darn tasty and hearty. As well as pretty common. Maybe that contrasts a bit with more refined options since it’s so easy to prepare, I guess. But I’d definitely eat it. Good stuff and not a bit gross.

I haven't started watching this show yet (I don't care about spoilers) ... has there been any mention of what happened to Fisk at the end of Echo or is it just glossed over?

It's mentioned.

Yeah, he's shot off screen and the degree of the injury is one of those "could have been lethal, but has been known not to be."

To be fair, people survive being shot in the head an astonishing amount of the time if they have immediate medical attention.

Which is why I mentioned "known not to be". Usually that's because the bullet has gone in the skin, skidded around the skull, and then exited. Fisk apparently took some serious damage to the eye socket, but didn't die and then got some apparently unusual medical help.

They absolutely do (countless varieties) but... that just looked like a really weird meal, and there was something about the sausages and their placement that made them look very er... British. Like, if you made that sort of dish from sausages, you'd normally at least chop them up rather than putting them on top. And if you were making a pasta dish with "Italian sausage" in the US, you'd normally use, well, Italian sausage (rather than actual "links"), which is essentially spiced minced pork (and absolutely delicious I might add - fennel seeds and whatnot). I am just kind of mystified at the choice - maybe it was an in-joke or something - it clearly served the main purpose which was to indicate Kingpin was "back on the sauce", as it were, if he'd ever actually stopped. Maybe they thought it was less obvious than a bigass steak or something?
