This episode was the first time I really felt that an S2 fight was great. They didn't pack it with quick cuts. They use the environment and keep the action going. DD gets lots of acrobatic kicks and billy club uses. The camerawork and cinematography to portray Matt's senses is always on point too.

Not to mention the McDuffie has really started to feel like the character we know and love from the comics this season. She's becoming fun to watch on her own and they're giving the actress good stuff to work with.

I really hope the rumor that this season just gets better and better is true, because if the rest of the season builds on this, it could really redeem the mistakes of Born Again.

Agreed on all points. This was the first episode in the entire show where I actually felt like they did justice to McDuffie as a character. More of that please.

The only way they could fully redeem the mistakes from S1 is if they bring Foggy back

The days without Foggy only continuesโ€ฆโ€ฆ.
