I wonder if they'll use Fisk's appearance to set up stuff in season 3? Now that I think about it, he has to have more than an off-hand "btw this guy's still in jail" scene or else they wouldn't be keeping it under wraps like that, and in the S1 finale they had Fisk finally become the Kingpin so I'm expecting some pretty magnificent plotting from him. I'm going to die of a heart attack when he finds out who killed Wesley, tho. D:

I'm concerned about the amount of material they're stuffing into S2 too, but thinking about it, S1 would have superficially looked like a lot on paper as well (like, Kingpin + Stick + hints for K'un-Lun + The Hand + Gladiator, on top of what always needs to happen storyline-wise to introduce a new superhero) and they handled everything beautifully. There was still only one major storyline with Fisk vs Matt though, and a lot did get sidelined into vague hints for future seasons, so idk. You definitely have a point about Bullseye, they're gonna be pushed for time and I don't want them to rush that buildup of his scary obsessiveness when there's already so much going on.

We're going to be bombarded with new trailers and stuff this final month-and-a-half, it looks like. I tried to find the trailer release dates for the first season, and they seemed to mostly be out the month (and the fortnight!!) right before the season launch. I'm excited but everything feels so far away ;_;

This spoiler space might be a little useless but I'm gonna leave it there anyway.

SEASON 3?! Oh my god, I hadn't even thought of that! I'd kinda like to see Elektra show up and manipulate the ever loving hell out of Matt, dragging him back into her bed, etc, probably right after he's finally okay with flirting with Karen and thinking maybe there's a chance for them. Elektra shaking that up would be par for her course. I'm kinda down with Elektra manipulating Matt into making bad choices for himself and everyone around him, only to find out near the end that she was hired by Kingpin to get him to do exactly that. But my question is does Elektra know Matt is DD, or does she find out during the season?

And you are toootally right that on paper S1 looks like a hot mess, like how would they ever fit everything in there? In hindsight, the biggest problem I have with DD S1 is that they expected to only have one season and used 1/3 of it to set up Iron Fist and The Defenders. The amazing success of S1 and greenlighting a S2 immediately meant some disruption to The Defenders schedule. But if S2 sticks to the world of Matt Murdock and Marvel worries less about using him as a form of exposition for everything else, we should be in for an awesome season, yay!
