Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dog is a reference to the Punisher comic series. "Punisher: War Zone"; in one issue the Punisher rescued an abused guard dog named Max from its criminal owner.
- GoofsWhen the police sniper orders his team to shoot Punisher he makes the same old annoying Hollywood error of using the word 'REPEAT' over the radio. The correct terminology to use is, "I SAY AGAIN' and you only do so if the person you're talking to asks you to repeat your message. It is an age old Hollywood cliché that a whenever a character speaks on a radio they have to relay the message twice to accentuate the drama.
- Quotes
Matt Murdock: You think, uh you think he's crazy? Uh, the Punisher?
Karen Page: No. I think he was inevitable.
Matt Murdock: Inevitable? How so?
Karen Page: Maybe maybe we created him. All of us. The moment that we let Daredevil, or the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, or whatever it is-...
Matt Murdock: There's there's no connection.
Karen Page: Well, actually, I think it's a pretty straight line, Matt. Daredevil practiced vigilante justice in our backyard and we applauded him for it. I know that I did. And we never stopped to think that maybe his actions could open the door for men like this. Men men with guns. Men who think that the law belongs to them.
Matt Murdock: There there's a difference.
Karen Page: Well, I don't see it. Not anymore.

We began the episode with Foggy finding bloody Matt on top of the rooftop where Punisher left him. A bullet to the head didn't stop Daredevil from getting back up the very next opportunity, even if he is having some serious trouble with his hearing. It was nice to see Melvin Potter make an appearance in helping Matt with the suit and a good reminder as to the promise Matt made Melvin about protecting his family, something he's struggling with in general right about now.
But Foggy and Karen aren't doing a whole lot better. They got shut down by Reyes and her crew and their plan of getting Grotto into witness protection isn't fairing to well either. But I was happy to see Foggy attempt to step up his game against Reyes anyway. Karen's increasing curiosity surrounding Matt's whereabouts once again begs the question as to when she will find out about Daredevil. Matt's excuses are definitely getting pretty weak. It's a story line that has been done over and over again in the comics and in TV & film, so I just hope she responds in a realistic way and not a way that will just delay the inevitable.
The Punisher had another big episode as we got Jon Bernthal in full Punisher glory as he took out more of the Dogs of Hell and a store clerk who took his comments about young women a little too far with Castle. It's yet to be seen how close to his story in the comics they will stick to, but I think that moment alone says a lot about who Frank Castle is and his history. Overall, it wasn't a hugely eventful episode until the end, but it's hard to deny how well made this show is. Hopefully the episodes continue to be this good.
