Daredevil: Born Again
Okay we are going into this episode with some feelings. They have fully destroyed Vanessa Fisk and I will not stop being angry about it, especially since keeping her character comic book accurate would have been better writing for the story they are actually telling. And then we have the fact that the last episode ended with what looked like the Punisher killing White Tiger, which would in fact destroy another comic book character if that is actually what happened. So I will hold my tongue until the show gives me a reason to get pissed off.
