  1. Actually, the person who ends up with a smoking hot lady in his bed, is Foggy, not Matt. And apparently, the man's got skillz.
  2. Oh yes, his voice is awesome. Should he ever switch to an english accent, I'm done for. And I accept that he has his appeal based on the posts. But I maintain, Foggy is constantly telling us that he gets all these women, but we never see it happen. I found it jarring. I wish they either would have showed us the starbucks girl writing her number on the cup or quit bringing it up.
  3. Alright, if other people are buying it, then maybe it's just that I don't find him attractive. But to argue this a little further, I didn't see anything with the real estate agent and Matt. She didn't strike me as particularly interested in him, and I don't recall her making any kind of overture in that direction. He politely covered her social awkwardness over the blind thing, but it wasn't a panty dropping move.
  4. I'm having a lot of trouble with Matt Murdock. He isn't quite gelling with the rest of the cast for me, probably because he has very llittle screen time. Almost everything we know about Matt is what Foggy tells us. And what he tells us is totally unbelievable. Is anyone buying Matt as a ladykiller? The only glimpse you see of it is when Karen is translating and finds out he speaks better Spanish and he says keep going, I like the sound of your voice. Other than that, we never see him charm or seduce a woman. (I don't see it with Daredevil either-- I don't think he has any chemistry Claire.) I had myself convinced that he's not at all a lady killer and those were lies he told to cover for his vigilante actions, but the show doesn't support that in later episodes. I can't quite decide if it's the writer's fault for spending so little time on Matt, or the actor's fault for not being able to portray those qualities. I'm leaning toward the actor though. I feel like Eldon is trying to sell the hell out of their besty relationship while Cox remains too aloof. Ultimately, I don't find Matt compelling enough to build a show around. For me, the decision to kill or not was better done on Arrow. And all of the sad chilhood stuff is eradicated by the fact that for all intents and purposes, he is only pretending to be blind. Which makes him kind of a glass bowl. Which leaves me with what, exactly? An upstanding lawyer who spends most of his time lying to his friends/coworkers and faking a disability so he can have a double life. I'll take a billionaire playboy with family issues over that any day. Or a boy scout journalist with a giant unrequiited crush on his co-worker covering up his abilities for fear for his life.
  5. It was Spanish, but it did actually sound more continental. The Rosa story line this week was so sweet and wrong. I think the show does a good job of making you like people you shouldn't while not giving everyone a tragic back story. Like with Morello, who seems one of the nicer girls, you come to find out her crime is actually more violent than Gloria's, who was defrauding the government. I don't have a problem with Vee taking over; I think there was a power vacuum that she stepped into. The white girls have Red or Leanne, the latina girls have Gloria, the black girls needed a leader.
  6. This is interesting. I assumed the Dani rape was something that was absolutely going to come into play in Season 2. I think we all saw it coming based on good characterization. As possiblities said, she's a predator. She repeatedly crossed boundaries with Brandon in acting like a friend and not a responsible adult. Her crossing the rape line was inevitable. Thus far none of her transgressions have come to light, but my guess is not that it's because TPTB think her behavior isn't wrong, but becasue they are letting that story line rest in favor of others.
  7. It seems a little early to be repeating a plot line. Isn't this exactly the same situation Callie was in when she got blamed for selling drugs and Mariana was really at fault? Now it's Callie's friend and Brandon.
