AimingforYoko March 26 Share March 26 (edited) Quote A day in the life of Matt Murdock gets intense, forcing him to team up with a familiar face. Yusuf Khan! I really didn't see that as being the way Feige was going to MCU the show, but he was quite delightful. I wonder if we'll really see Kamala. So baby steps with DD's return, but I feel we're close.

thuganomics85 March 26 Share March 26 Did not predict that we'd basically get a stand-alone, almost filler episode for this season. Along with pairing Matt off with none other than Yusuf Khan! Glad to see that Kamala and her gang won't be forgotten about since The Marvels ended up bombing at the box office (and I will continue to go to my grave thinking it was actually a pretty enjoyable film. Certainly not MCU's worst.) They made for a fun pair. Surprised that Mohan Kapur is still playing the role, because I could have sworn he had some kind of accusations leveled at him. Maybe there wasn't enough evidence to make Disney feel a recast was needed? Wouldn't mind seeing Detective Kim again. The actress made the most of her screen time. Bet Charlie Cox had fun getting to use a Irish accent for a brief second! Matt beats up a guy wearing a red ski mask at least, so maybe he's slowly getting back into Daredevil form?! They better deliver on the "Matt has dinner with the Khan Family" idea. Matt and Kamala interacting would actually be kind of awesome, I think. 3 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152607-s01e05-with-interest/#findComment-8617049

tennisgurl March 26 Share March 26 After having so many intense episodes, which have almost all ended on a massive downer, I am thrilled to get something lighter. Nobody dies, the villains are pretty much garden variety crooks, fun Irish music soundtrack, Matt gets some cool fights, Charlie gets to do his natural accent, and more importantly, Yusuf Khan, one of the MCU's best dad, is here! He even has a cute little Miss. Marvel funko pop! I don't care what anyone says, I am team "filler" I am sick of shows that are rushing from plot point to plot point without taking a second to breath. I wonder what Kamala is up to in California? Just visiting friends or is it something more? Mr. Khan and Matt were a fun combination, I hope that Matt takes up his invite to have dinner with his family. Matt could use some time with a nice normal family. Normal as a family with a teenage superhero and Djinn DNA can be. It seems like robbing a bank in broad daylight on St. Patrick's Day and without much of a plan in case they get stopped before they can run doesn't seem like the brightest idea. I loved when Matt just casually knocked out a robber with his cane without anyone even noticing, man is a really good lawyer. 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152607-s01e05-with-interest/#findComment-8617282

I noticed that Baba Khan mentioned Los Angeles so outside of what was becoming the MCU norm of San Fransico being their west coast capital. Right now, I would say a comics Easter Egg of merging the Young Avengers and West Coast Avengers. Seeing Ms. Marvel in Louisiana in her last appearance she seems to travel a lot leaving Jersey City with limited superhero protection. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152607-s01e05-with-interest/#findComment-8617291
Unclejosh March 26 Share March 26 (edited) I actually enjoyed this episode more than Episode 6. I find Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin portrayal tedious and one of the big reasons I never finished season 1 of Daredevil on Netflix until recently. The less he is on the screen the more I enjoy the episode. Edited March 26 by Unclejosh 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152607-s01e05-with-interest/#findComment-8617338

I just watched that scene again and it seems like it's the Khan's moving in or at least also moving in. There are a ton of moving boxes and why would someone who has lived in space have moving boxes. Kamala makes a comment about how much she loves it there. And Kamala's mom even makes a comment to the brother about how it would be a great place to raise a family. Plus there Jersey city house got seriously messed up at the start of the movie. I guess if it wasn't them it was just one more dumb thing about that movie.

Disney is indeed stretching this out, ugh. Actually... that's not a Filler episode. You're confusing a Filler episode with a Stand-Alone episode. Something a lot of folks - especially younger folks - seem to be doing these days. I noticed this a lot when folks discussed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and were calling the stand-alone episodes "filler episodes" because the 10-episode Season was not a 10-hour-long movie. A stand-alone episode is one that features a story that is not a part of a specific larger, on-going narrative. This used to be the majority of all TV episodes. Think Love Boat or Fantasy Island. A filler episode is what networks used to put on TV when they didn't have an actual new episode. Like when a sitcom would have characters discuss "memories" and then they would show flashback clips from previous episodes. Stargate had these as well. At least one, anyway.

jacehan Tuesday at 05:09 AM Share Tuesday at 05:09 AM The newer conception of a “filler” episode comes from anime - when an anime adapting a manga caught up to the source material, they would create filler episodes, storylines unconnected to the rest of the series and never mentioned again afterwards, to give the manga time to get ahead. So this is definitely not filler, because it is connected to the overall series (the aforementioned Luca connection, as well as Matt’s personal arc moving closer to becoming Daredevil again). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152607-s01e05-with-interest/#findComment-8622589
