Isn't the word "escort"? Though I dont know myself... O.o
I agree with both of these ones
It reaaaaally depends. I've heard of rich guys offering up to 20k for a night (through a documentary on sex work, but I don't remember what it's called).
Price is definitely one of those things that just depends. Escorts often negotiate their own price, so if they can charge more, they will. From what I've read on sex work, part of the job is the confidence to talk clients into paying you a lot.
Schedules, as far as I know, are flexible and also depends on the escort's availability. A brothel-type place may have a set schedule, but those are illegal in the US besides Nevada.

Mine are:
1. Stick might've been a huge dick, but I think he did care - in his own emotionally stunted way - about Matt. he just cared about his war more.
2. fuck Frank Miller and Brian Michael Bendis. fuck them.

I think you have a raise a good point about Foggy...I think Foggy is an interesting character to discuss because we don't see him outside of his interactions with Matt, Karen, or Marci. Karen and Matt have emotional issues out the wazoo, so Foggy comes off as more normal than they are. And Marci shows up as the evil ex at first, so Foggy comes off as having the moral high ground in their first meeting.
A lot of how Foggy acts when he's alone definitely has to come from our imaginations- so for all we know he goes home and cries into a bottle of beer every night.
Agreed on the second one, although my grudge against Bendis is because of House of M, rather than his DD run (which I haven't read).
On the first, yes, and this is something I'm really passionate about. Like, I think you can interpret Stick as having no feelings for Matt, and I do think that's a valid reading. But I think a much more interesting reading is that in his own fucked up way, Matt is the only person he has cared about in forever and the main reason he left was because he was getting too attached, not because Matt was.

I kind of get the idea because every time we see him really upset about something, he starts drinking--and drinking a lot (so does Karen, for that matter. I actually think Matt is the only one of those three who isn't an alcoholic). As someone who's had some...issues...with alcohol, it's a very familiar reaction.
I ret-conned the emotional issues out of that, because that kind of unhealthy relationship with alcohol doesn't usually manifest out of thin air.

I watch Netflix on my big screen tv via a roku 3, and my roku remote has a forward, pause, rewind button on it and I just use those. There's also a 4-way control at the top of the remote and I can use that, too, but either one works a treat to fwd, rewind, or pause, any show on netflix. If I'm viewing netflix on my pc, I just hover the mouse to scan for any scene I want to watch and click, and it'll jump to that scene. It might just be your connection. Maybe slow down the resolution feed in the netflix settings so you don't lag so much? The picture might not be as sharp but it might run smoother.
yeah! but not prostitute. that's not nice.

When Foggy and Karen go out to Josie's, he recognises her need to slam a drink back (wee see that again after she kills Wesley) and asks her what's wrong. She doesn't want to talk about it, he presses, and they become very, very good at sharing the hard stuff and a lot of it. You're right, that doesn't manifest out of thin air, and I'm definitely horrified by the way Foggy isn't just good at downing a lot of hard stuff, but that he's good at drinking alone. That's a very specific level of alcohol abuse and he does seem to be quite the pro.
In the podcast interview downthread, Jack Murdock's actor spoke about some level of Jack's alcoholism, that it wasn't overly stated on the show but it was played with, and that Jack self-medicates often. This would mean Matt's been subjected to those binges, and maybe that's one of the reasons he doesn't drink much? Although I think he doesn't drink because it affects him worse than normal people because of his senses. He's a lightweight for a reason.

lol, I actually made a prompt out of this. Still holding out hope someone fills is~
Unpopular opinion:
The way Foggy spoke to Marci before walking off during their meeting at L&Z was not impressive at all and was, in fact, completely inappropriate. It seems out of character (and, to be honest, like he practiced saying it in a mirror)

Hey, Spanish speakers!
Is Elena Cardenas' name supposed to have any kind of accent markers?

IA about Matt--and also, I think Matt is just fundamentally a control freak. He works his issues out by beating the shit out of people; the only time we really see him drunk is in that one flashback, where he's (a) happy and (b) in the company of someone he trusts. I don't think he'd be willing to drink heavily in any other circumstances, both because he doesn't trust other people and because he doesn't really trust himself. He's very aware of the kind of violence he's capable of, you know?
I do think some of it's probably physical, but I think a lot of it is just his personality. Foggy doesn't really have the same issues--which is not to say he doesn't have issues, just that they're different ones.

SA: Thanks for the advice, although it sounds like I can't be helped until I get a better box.
I can totally scan for the scenes, it just takes five minutes to reload it. So if it isn't exactly the right place in the scene, it's so not worth it to fix.

I agree about Wilson Fisk. I mean, I think he's an interesting villain, and even a tragic one, but there is no point where I find him actually sympathetic. I definitely see the parallels between him and Matt, but his 'not so different' speech wasn't a 'gotcha' to the audience, it was bullshit. Matt is a violent and occasionally amoral person, but the only person he kills in the entire show was Nobu, and that's a pretty clear-cut case of self-defense (and he's clearly pretty fucked up about it). Fisk beats someone to death for interrupting a dinner date.
Also, as far as the improving Hell's Kitchen thing goes--yes, they both believe in what they're doing, and yes, they both use illegal means, but--Fisk wants to make Hell's Kitchen a better place not by improving the lives of the people who live there, but by getting rid of them so that a 'better' class of person can move in. Matt's breaking the law and frequently his own moral code, but he's actively trying to protect the actual human beings who live there, and not some idea in his head of what it could be. It's not just a philosophical disagreement; Fisk is actively a terrible human being. I suppose you could also argue that Matt is also pretty terrible (although I'd disagree), but what you really can't argue is that Fisk is in any sense of the word a good guy.
IDK if that's even remotely coherent.

On the A in Cardenas if wiki is correct so Cárdenas.
Which also means that the characters in the show are kind of mispronouncing her name- they are putting the emphasis on the E in Cardenas instead of the A.
Example of how to say Cárdenas in Spanish with the accent:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ll_w1ZIJlA&ab_channel=Cl%C3%ADo
There are rules in Spanish about the accents and which syllabus to put the emphasis on, but I don't remember any of them. ;_; I'm pretty sure that without the accent, her name would be pronounced like they do in the show anyway.

Correct. The way they pronounce it on the show (car-DE-nas) would be spelled Cardenas. If spelled Cárdenas, it would be pronounced CAR-de-nas.
(The stress is on the penultimate syllable if the word ends in a vowel, n, or s; on the last syllable if it ends in any other consonant; or on the syllable with an accent if the word breaks either of the above two rules.)

Hey nonnie, would you mind giving references to the times Matt died protecting Frank? That sounds right up my alley...
agree agree AGREE
i cannot hate fisk more. i feel bad for him, sure, but i think steven deknight being quoted as wanting to make the audience root for fisk at times is.....misguided? i mean. fisk's team consists of drug pushers, strong arms, and sex traffickers. who knows what fisk was planning to have done with that little boy in episode 2 had matt not saved him. fisk clearly views the lives of those living in hell's kitchen as...worthless? expendable??? idk how anyone could root for a guy who treats humans like tools and barter pieces.
also i hadn't even considered the implications of "women who can be bought are worthless". that is......disgusting, actually, to think about from that point of view and it makes my skin crawl lol

unpopular opinion:
no matter how much i want marci to be redeemed and shown to be a good person, she was still a complete asshole and very subtly racist about mrs cardenas' name (refused to pronounce it right even when foggy corrected her :/ )
i don't understand why people seem to be applauding marci as a Strong Female Character when she's the poster child of white feminism....like, being cutthroat and heartless is apparently an acceptable way to be as long as you're trying to break the glass ceiling? i thought people were over this whole "crush the patriarchy in your high heels (while also working under the patriarchy and being traditionally beautiful)" phase, but i guess not.
