Yessss, I think Matt's hyperaware of people, and how base people can be, maybe especially when they try to hide it. I fully believe his blindness (compounded by how physically attractive he is) is a siren song to the depraved because they [think they] can abuse him in some way. It's so easy to see on the show the way they highlighted his emotional weakness (children/old people/sexually-targeted women) as his Achilles, not just because they were victims, but because he's too close to that label in oh so many ways. It feels like subtext to me the way he's overly emotional when faced with helplessness. Being drunk and out of control would equate to him either losing his shit and doing too much damage on a criminal, or [reverting back to] being a victim himself because his faculties are down. I look at his reactions on the screen and can only imagine he's had it both ways. Ehh, I'm not sure if I'm making sense...

I'm really looking forward to learning more about Foggy's issues and why he drinks so damn much, and why it's a knee-jerk reaction. Show spent so much time exposing every one of Matt's (and Fisk's) raw nerves that we were a little shortchanged on getting everybody else's dirty laundry out into the open.
