Episode Title: Take Shelter
Originally Aired: August 18th 2017
Last week I speculated that this episode would contain a massive action scene and I wasn’t really right but I wasn’t wrong either. While it wasn’t the extensive knock down fight I was expecting, nearly the first 8 minutes of tonight’s episode was action and they sprinkled in a couple of smaller fights as well to keep the episode high energy. Continue reading The Defenders S:01 E:05
Episode Title: Royal Dragon Originally Aired: August 18th 2017
“Bullet proof, blind ninja and whatever you are” Danny isn’t exactly smooth in his recruitment speech to the group. I didn’t expect going in that after 5 seasons one of my favorite episodes would be one with no action, but the quality of the interaction and finally getting some answers made for a highly satisfying episode. Continue reading The Defenders S:01 E:04

Tonight’s episode of Iron Fist was once again light on action until the final 10 minutes when Danny confronts Harold for all of his past and current misdeeds.

Episode Title: Bar the Big Boss
Originally Aired: March 17 2017
Last week was a lot of set up with just a brief action scene and this week was the inverse. Tonight’s episode featured betrayals, infighting multiple stabbings and shootings before the nearly 50 minutes were up. One family bound together by blood and time is torn to pieces and a makeshift family brought together by circumstances may also be shattered beyond repair. As Bakuto would say one of those families is filled with vipers and is beyond repair while the other may have a chance to come back together. Continue reading Iron Fist S:01 E:12
Episode Title: Lead Horse Back to Stable
Originally Aired: March 17th 2017
While it is named after an actual Kung Fu move, I think the 11th episode of Marvel’s Iron Fist should have been named Lead Horses Back to Stables. This episode was about two people being pulled in different directions. The life they have known for years versus a new life with someone special. Davos is determined to lead Danny back to K’un-Lun and Bakuto is unwittingly leading Colleen back to Danny and only Danny. Continue reading Iron Fist S:01 E:11
