So there was very little here that made me think Frank was actually on a warpath. To find out her actual involvement in his family's death. Plus, we know Frank wouldn't have killed Reyes without confronting her. Which it was, as we'd find out later when Frank stopped Karen from getting filed with holes. That's who he was in the premiere, not now. And the fact that we weren't seeing Castle kill these people (Reyes and the medical examiner both got gunned down) felt off because he wasn't a character who should have vanished off screen like that. Elektra's fight (with the man Stick, apparently, sent to kill her) picked up about 15 minutes after she coaxed him into the encounter. There were just a few elements here that felt wonky. Though, in his defense, had he gone to talk to Foggy right then he wouldn't have been prepared to guard the hospital against the attack that started silently mounting during the final minutes.
Matt won't listen to reason, but he still needs to hear it. All to stop The Hand and their diabolical plan.Ĭlaire didn't exactly change Matt's mind about returning to his old life, but her voice was a necessary one here. Claire and Matt's rooftop discussion was a standout, as Matt found himself adrift in such a way that he was ready to give up on having a career and friends entirely. That doesn't mean there weren't great aspects to it though. Most of it felt like a collection of long scenes with a somewhat uneven flow connecting them. "The Man in the Box" was another strong episode, even though it was the first chapter in Season 2 to sort of feel a little off, structure-wise.
