Things continue to get complicated in what seems like it should be a simple quest for the Punisher in “Cold Steel.” For a man trying to avenge his family, he’s getting caught up in a lot of distractions, complications, and general chaos.
As “Crosshairs” begins, Louis is cleaning up from his incident last episode. He’s got O’Connor’s blood, and a bit of his own, all over him. After making the preparations he can, Louis drives home for an awkward scene with his dad.
After the brutality of last episode, it would be nice if Frank got a bit of a break. Of course, that’s probably not going to happen anytime soon.
We find Agent Madani a bit the worse for wear from the events of last episode. This one starts with her battered, bruised, and recovering, cut with a few flashbacks of the car accident (ok, it wasn’t exactly an accident) and Castle pulling her out.
The Punisher continues his first season as things progress for him, David AKA Micro, Madani, and her sidekick Sam. There’s a lot going on, and a side story with Louis and Curt as well. But Frank’s main focus is something important to any warrior: “Resupply,” as the title says. The show actually starts with Louis,…
The third episode of Punisher’s first season is “Kandahar,” which seems to be where a lot of what’s going on was set in motion. It’s the only central point connecting most of the characters that are playing major parts in the show so far.
Frank Castle’s story continues in Punisher’s second episode, “Two Dead Men.” In another flashback, he’s riding the ferry with his kids, telling them stories. He quotes the nursery rhyme about, “One bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead men got up to fight,” which is one possible source of the title of…
After doing so well in the second season of Daredevil, Punisher became the first Marvel hero to get his own Netfilx series after the original four. Jon Bernthal does a fantastic job playing him.
It’s a great time to be a hero-geek. There are more and more shows, and most of them are pretty damn good. I keep hearing a few people fretting about “hero fatigue,” but I certainly don’t have it, and, judging from the box office for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, a lot of other people don’t, either. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is fantastic, with Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok coming this year. I’m a lot less impressed with the DC Expanded Universe (although I’m one of the few that apparently enjoyed Suicide Squad), but I was pleasantly surprised by Wonder Woman.
Daredevil’s second season comes to a close with “A Cold Day in Hell’s Kitchen.” The show starts with Nobu caressing the stone box we keep seeing the Hand with, while a woman with red hair reports to him. They have plans afoot to regain the Black Sky, no matter what Elektra or Daredevil want. Whatever they are plotting doesn’t sound like it’s going to be good for anyone.
