Re: Which of your favorite pairings (if any) would you like to see become canon?

I'm not saying it wasn't justified, but she already has some notches on her belt of "doing terrible things this season." I'll give her a pass on Wesley, but she got herself into that one, being all stupid about her own safety after being attacked about a bajillion times.

Following that logic, Wesley's death was his own fault for being stupid enough to put that loaded gun on the table. And for working for a crime boss in the first place.

Okay, she gets a pass on Wesley. But not for anything else.

not to sound rude, but you do understand that a lot of the unpleasant stuff she does in the season is stuff typical of a reporter digging for clues? like, you do enough rooting around, you find stuff like fisk's mother. and you cause people trouble.

like, you can call karen stupid about her own safety but she's extremely similar to matt in that she gets in way over her head. in fact, so does foggy -- he was the one that decided to take elena cardenas' case, and he ended up paying for it.

just...all of these characters made mistakes, okay? and ben knew going into this that it was high risk. not to say he should have died for it (i think the writers killing him off was sloppy and unnecessary) but to blame karen for "ruining his life"?....really?

Thank you. That Karen hate post was bugging me (emotional vampire? what?) but I couldn't really articulate a response.

I do think that Karen was wrong to bring Ben to Fisk's mom without letting him know that's where they were going, but even a big mistake like that doesn't make her a monster.

Right? Some of the Karen fans are spending time here talking her up by shooting down all the other characters and some of the Karen haters are spending a lot of time trying to vilify every one of her choices. It's gotten old already, ugh.
