Marvel's The Punisher

I think that's because hacker dude's wife wanted some sweet punishment from Frankie boy by that point in the story.

The hacker's dude wife's reaction to seeing her supposed-to-be-dead-but-back-to-life husband was hilarious cold and absent.

Huh? She was in shock and then she started to tremble and reached out for him as they were walking past each other. He had to shake her off and tell her to keep walking. Then she was a wreck when he got shot.

What are you talking about?

It seemed super fake to me and isn't like how I'd expect someone to react after seeing the love of their life back from the grave

Maybe you thought it was fake but it was neither cold nor absent

yeah... i thought that scene was pretty spot on. she's moving out of the mourning phase, getting to a point where she's opening up, at least on some level, to the idea of being with another man... and then boom, out of nowhere here's her long dead husband sacrificing himself to rescue her. her reaction was pretty spot on "wtf"

as far as the middle span of episodes, they all dealt with lewis the vet turned bomber. i think the point of that was much more meta commentary and less punisher character development. the writers clearly wanted to show that frank is a different kind of beast than a mass shooter and a bomber and that he views them on equal ground as all the others that he puts down.

Would have been nice if in the middle of the season with all the filler, he would have gone ape shit on a few crime families or done a bit more other than the main plot. Would agree that in a few episodes where he got shot 3-4 times either in the arms, legs, vest etc I was thinking god damn he's going to die but then you remember plot armor.

Laughed really hard at the laundry room (?) hookup between Hacker & his wife where it lasts all of 30 seconds. Was thinking after a year of basement dwelling I'm surprised he made it past his pants being torn off.

Yeah, I wish they had gone with some kind of mafia/crime family subplot for the middle episodes instead of the crazy army vet turning terrorist.

It looked like they were going to go that way and then that entire plot just ended and we never saw dumb contruction kid again. I was sure that the crime family would come after him for payback after the card game shit went down. It was weird that they just ended all that with a "good luck out there".

Wow I actually forgot all about that since it was so minor in the grand scheme of things. It was only used as a ploy for people to rediscover Frank.

Could almost make a drinking game out of "Look, he was fire in the right should again"!
Good series, fan of 2004 version. Hoping S2 is little more in that direction. Felt a little long but ton of setup story.

What's going on in the Star Wars threads? I think Rogue One was legit af. Nostalgia and influence aside, I think it's the best Star Wars in a sense that it's got the least amount of cheese, better acting, darker.

Maybe you're just a miserable person who hates everything anymore.

Rogue One was boring as fuck and could have easily had 30 minutes trimmed off it. Though I don't really like anything Star Wars so my opinion on the matter shouldn't really be cared about.

Do you think that way about all shows today? I think Netflix hit it out of the park with multiple shows in 2017. Mindhunter and Ozark are probably the two best things they've ever released.

I don't think Mindhunter or Ozark can be talked about in the same breath as Punisher. Both were fantastic. Punisher was, at least IMO, just watchable filler to pass the time. I was never really hyped or amped for the next episode. I couldn't stop watching both Mindhunter and Ozark.

Hmm, haven't heard of Ozark until now either. Will try and get to that soon. Same thing with the Expanse, I keep putting it off some reason.
