[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 327008, member: 23"] [CENTER][B][SIZE=6]The Punisher[/SIZE][/B] [I][SIZE=5]Virtue Of The Vicious / Danger Close / Home / Memento Mori[/SIZE][/I][/CENTER] The flashback episode featuring the hotel bombing was really well constructed. I particularly enjoyed seeing the same event from different angles, depending on the agenda of the person giving their statement. It’s been good to see Karen in this series and I think it’s really done her character a service. The only moment I didn’t overly care for was when she did a Diana Fairgate by convincing the marksmen that she was Frank’s prisoner as he held a gun to her head, but they were under pressure so I’ll let it go. The Karen we see here is at least as complex as [I]Daredevil[/I] Karen, and some of her ballsier moments feel more authentic here given her experiences. Indeed, the dialogue even saw another character reel of a list of many of Karen’s inexperiences with incredulity. And she remained completely unfazed. There was an especially nice moment at the end of [I]Virtue Of The Vicious[/I] in which she countered DS Frank Mahoney’s underlying threat of consequences regarding her enabling Frank’s escape by pointing out that if Frank is the threat she’s just a victim. The implication being that Mahoney knows Frank was there to help and he also knows she was right to aid Frank’s escape. Lewis Wilson’s inevitable death was a sad one. He was one of the more fleshed-out characters here and held my sympathy despite his actions because he was so clearly living with post traumatic stress. I thought the death itself looked a bit CGI fake, but since I’ve never been in that situation (fortunately), I could be wrong. Naturally, his wasn’t the only death. There were the inevitable bloodbaths and deadly rampages with Frank in the middle of things. As mentioned before, a lot of the violence felt so fitting it was almost expected and so I never had a visceral response to much of it.
