I didn't expect much when I started this show. It unexpectedly hyped me up, but the finale let me down. It's ok as a conclusion I guess. But the climax has been botched.
Not a fan of the building bombing. And I've never liked the countdown scenes with unrealistic timing for cheap thrills. There are way too many mistakes on this. First they just put all the explosives in the same place ? Then seeing the depth of the hole, the elevator would probably take more than 5 minutes, so even if there was no problem and if they didn't have to finish it by climbing, and didn't have to deal with the cops, timing does not work. Matthew could not sense the depth of the hole, yet when at the bottom he could hear the beep ?
Luke saying "I'm not letting you do that"... and that's it they're out ?? What even was the point of having swat coming in then ?
Really too bad it turned into a big fight with goons instead of a cool one against the bosses. You barely see Gao, Murakami is useless. Even more with removing Bakuto to have him fight Colleen again. He had no reason to be there. And it was already unrealistic that she could beat it with what we knew the first time (just that he was her sensei and had a lot of knowledge of various martial arts), but knowing that he's an ex Kunlun that has been alive for millennia ? That's a joke. Same for the way he's playing nice with Claire in the middle of the fight instead of one shot killing her without blinking.
The fight part of Daredevil/Elektra is ok I guess. But the talk... As usual with this trope, we know since episode one that it will end like that, but her change of heart/attitude is entirely random and not based on anything that happens.
Interesting thing is that "the substance" is actually dragon bone marrow ? And that New York is holding up on these bones and will crumble if they are removed ?
Danny is all sulky that someone else got to be the hero.

Luke definitely works better with Jessica.
