DD:BA Episode 3: So I haven't seen Season 3 of the Netflix show nor anything else outside of Jessica Jones season 1, so it's possible I missed something, but since when does The Punisher do Fisk's dirty work? Especially since Frank traditionally hates dirty cops on principle.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I don’t think that was The Punisher, and I don’t think whoever that was was working for Fisk. I’m guessing that there are a lot of cops who are Punisher fanboys, just like there are in real life.

We definitely know there are Punisher the fanboy cops based on the tattoos we've seen on several of them in the show. Full-blown Punisher cosplay feels like a bit much but I guess it could be that or someone entirely unrelated playing copycat.

DDBO Ep 4
Okay. You guys were right it wasn't Frank. Though I'm curious what he's doing just hiding out in that basement. He also seemed more annoyed than angry with the copycat cops which surprised me.
Fisk having to endure multiple renditions of "We Built This City" was gold.
The fact that he has Adam in a cage was probably the least surprising "surprise" so far.

Really? I was genuinely surprised that Adam wasn't dead. I feel like I shouldn't be grading Kingpin on a curve, but that feels like growth.
I also think Fisk would rather get shot in the face by Maya again that have to endure one more rendition of "We Built This City."
And I guess Frank is just...squatting in a basement? Like you do.

I'm seeing articles saying they had to re-record the We Built This City scene with the kids because the original group was too good.

I also appreciate that this episode didn't leave me angry. It was going to be an exhausting watch if the trend from the first three episodes had continued.

I guess we get two DD episodes this week since they're both on the short side.
I'm very confused why the bank robbers needed to rob the bank when they already had the key or maybe I just don't understand how safety deposit boxes work. Is there some additional identification needed?
Also, I'm really not sure CPR works for blood loss but I guess maybe it was whatever sedative he used that caused her to flatline. Either way I spent that whole scene mentally screaming for Matt to hurry the fuck up.

I'm focusing on the wrong thing, but I was legitimately excited to see Jack Duquesne back on my TV and wielding a sword vigilante-style. (I was spoiled for it, but I was still excited.)
The bank robbery episode had a very Leverage vibe to it.

I was not spoiled, so it was a pleasant surprise.
Also, Fisk creating a squad of violent cops working directly for him made me extremely uncomfortable considering our current political environment.
