Discussion Thread Daredevil: Born Again S01E03 - Discussion Thread

Welcome back!

This thread is for discussion about the episodes.

If you have questions like "What do I need to watch before this series?"-- you can find our Spoiler Free FAQ here!

Insight will be on for at least the next 24 hours.

When Project Insight is active, all user-submitted posts have to be manually approved by the mod team before they are visible to the sub. It is our main line of defense we have for keeping spoilers off the subreddit during new release periods.

We will also be removing most outside posts about the individual episodes for the next few days to prevent spoilers about the series around the subreddit. Some posts may be allowed if they are of worthwhile effort and are properly spoiler tagged.

Discussion about details of later episodes is NOT allowed in this thread.

Proceed at your own risk: Spoilers for this episode do not need to be tagged inside this thread.

Oh, it's definitely a fake-out. No way would Frank get in on that one. He'd be more likely to go after those cops.

Also kind of looks like the cop’s version of his signature skull, which is more elongated. Would not shock me if that was some cop being controlled by Fisk. Goes along with the theme they are crafting against modern-day American cops utilizing the Punisher’s symbol as a show of badassery, when in reality it’s not and even Frank is quick to call them out for it in the comics.

I would not be surprised if Frank gets dragged into this by Matt to personally deal with said corrupt/abusive cops.

Well we've already seen that the dirty cops have Punisher tattoos, so I expect they did this on their own. Probably Powell himself. I doubt Fisk played a role in this specifically, but won't be surprised if he brings these guys in as the series progresses. Stand back and stand by.

Seems Fisk is angling to bolster the cops and gain their respect by helping them no matter what. He’s doing what he did in season 1 except through politics and delegation instead of violence and intimidation (albeit we have already seen some social intimidation such as the picture of the illegitimate child at the deli).
