A New NapkinOne of many nice surprises about the Netflix series is that I’ve been able to enjoy something that’s a rarity for me these days: genuine excitement about a season finale. When a season is good - and this has truly been one of the greats - the storytelling is so compelling that anticipation becomes part of the package. By the time Foggy was talking about the “silver bullet” to take down Fisk, I was feeling quite thrilled.The three-way battle between Daredevil, Fisk and Poindexter was great fun, though I did find myself questioning why Matt had gone to the trouble of sending Poindexter after Fisk only to stop him (it dawned on me later that, rather than actually getting him to kill Fisk and save him the trouble, he’d done it to lure Dex out into the open). It also felt a little anticlimactic in places. I think I was expecting an extra twist or two - like Vanessa getting killed. Or perhaps Vanessa killing one of them.Things were wrapped up fairly neatly, though like Iron Fist there seems to be groundwork for another season, with the operation on Dex in the final scene, and his eyes opening to reveal in the iris a…Bullseye (so I suppose I was right about him being Bullseye. Who’d have thought he’d end up being far more fascinating than Netflix Elektra who never clicked with me).Anyway, I don’t have much to say about the episode, other than it was consistently good and a reasonably satisfying end to the series. It certainly left me wanting more. And, as mentioned, the season overall is a favourite.</blockquote>
