Re: Wow, I'm slow: Fridge logic (or fridge horror) from watching Daredevil

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man those are good things that never clicked for me either! Nice work!

I think my oh man I'm an idiot moment was rewatching the last episode "Daredevil" and listening to Fisk retell the story of the Good Samaritan. And I noticed as he got to the bit about the actual Good Samaritan that it flashes to Nelson and Murdock showing first the Good Samaritan (Matt); who helped the Traveler (Karen) despite what it may cost him (Foggy). And I went OH.

SA: I mean, I caught the characterizations of Team Avocado as Samaritans, but I didn't catch anything past that.

AYRT: I might be reading more into it than is intended but the timing of who appears when what words are said is way too planned for it to be anything but? In my opinion.

Here's one that's just me being stupid. When I first heard it, I really hated Matt's line to Foggy about not being able to go back, but perhaps being able to move on, because it seemed to say that their old relationship was completely dead and unrecoverable. Also, it's a very vague and meaningless line, like "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey." (My knee-jerk reaction to that one is *always*, if you hate your destination that much, why not get a new one, because you'll still have the journey anyway).

But I did eventually realize, duh, Matt's telling Foggy what he's learned about trauma recovery. Matt's world has fallen apart (to borrow a line from Karen) several times in his life, and even Karen has had to deal with sweeping changes several times just during the course of the show. On the other hand, we aren't shown that Foggy has much experience in the way of traumatic events. So now I actually kind of like that line, because it's saying, "Let me show you, my friend, how to navigate these unfamiliar waters," which is the exact opposite of saying that their friendship is dead and gone.

Karen even calls them that, in episode one. "What, are you just a couple of good Samaritans?" Or words to that effect.

I caught that call back on maybe my fifth time watching the entire series? *love*

OP: Wow, yes, awesome mirror there, first episode to last. Way to round out a season.

(OP is obviously the dumbest person ever, and has never caught any of these, so thanks for sharing these gems.)
