Appropriately enough given his background, the episode dealing with the start of Frank Castle, the Punisher’s, trial, is titled “Semper Fidelis.” That is, of course, the motto for the Marine Corps. The opening is a montage of Castle getting ready for his trial, the jury pool being interviewed (and they have some very sharply differing opinions on the Punisher), and the attorneys getting ready. Reyes and Tower are prosecuting the case, Reyes no doubt hoping to grab some good press out of it, and Nelson and Murdock, of course, are the defense team.

Daredevil’s second season continues with “Penny and Dime,” the fourth episode. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Punisher– he’s not really my type of hero. But this series, and specifically this episode, gives him some depth and range and push him more towards at least somewhat sympathetic anti-hero, as opposed to gun-wielding psychopath. If they can keep the scripts of this quality, the series Netflix announced for him might be a lot more interesting than I initially thought.

“New York’s Finest” is the title for episode three of Daredevil’s second season. The more obvious meaning, of course, would be the common term used for the New York City Police. If you’re enough of a comic book geek, like me, there’s another meaning. World’s Finest was the name of a long-running team up comic book from DC. This episode is mostly about Daredevil and the Punisher, not exactly teaming up, but they’re together, so I think it sort of works. Or I read too many comic books.
