Because the new showrunner said it was impossible to do DD without Foggy and Karen, and made a big thing of it, and, minor spoilers, they're only in the first episode. But at the same time he didn't completely re-do the series, which they weren't originally in. So is it even possible for him to change the plot that much - i.e. to make it so Foggy/Karen do matter later on? Or really was the whole thing about how vital they were just loose talk?Exactly - this is pretty clearly what the audience is intended to understand. That people are even confused is further evidence of how dodgy the directing/editing of that episode was. And also that Disney shouldn't force you to 720p in a browser!Re: this episode, two most interesting points for me were:1) Muse went out like a sucker. There was a curious musical sting that made me think they'd have him get up or something but nope, so much for implausibly good taekwondo skills, a gun, and having killed 60 people!2) Buck is presumably Buck Cashman, aka Bullet, who is normally an American ex-spy with unexplained but significant superhuman speed/strength/toughness (smells like super-soldier serum to me, but it's left open in the comics). Here he is very clearly British, which is weird, and will presumably be less supernatural, just a very precise shooter. Presumably it was he who capped White Tiger - he's the right build/height.Not terribly excited for the melodrama which will inevitably ensue when Heather finds out Matt is DD. I am just like, kind of completely over secret identity drama, like, forever. To say it's been "done to death" (esp. by reveals to romantic partners) would be a gross understatement. If it was a dead horse, it'd have been beaten to a very fine powder by now. Were it a well, it'd be so dry as to be actively removing moisture from the air.I like the character I think of as "sleazy guy" (apparently "Daniel Blake"), he's very well-cast and believable in this, and looking him up I see he is played by Michael Gandolfini, so I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in some cases!</blockquote>
