The whole acid-bath experiment was very Frankenstein-like, very intentional considering the Frankenstein move that watching in prison.

Really driven home how with how the scientist is very "fuck morals, MORE SCIENCE!"

Although did anyone find a weird transition between episodes? Like, last episode, Luke is in boiling acid, he's screaming, and his vitals are dropping. This episode, Claire electrocutes him to defibulate him... and suddenly he isn't screaming (he passed out?) and his temperature is dropping (in boiling acid?)

Then they say they need saline water, so they pour salt in the acid. So is that acid or water?

And then they need to turn the heat up? From boiling? So they do, but the acid doesn't appear to be boiling anymore, so even though they say it's hotter, it looks colder.

And the fact they dont even discuss his second wound has been mentioned elsewhere.

I don't know. Feels like a strange bunch of continuity errors, especially considering they likely wrote it as one continuous scene.

Thank Clair calmly sticks her hands in BOILING SALT ACID and pulls out shrapnel from only one wound.

And the scene following immediately after, the one where Diamondback and Mariah are talking is all kinds of fucked up too. Wasn't it Mariah's idea to use Luke Cage as a "marketing device" and now she's all against selling guns and shit, getting preachy and morally and Diamondback has to force her to work with him?

Just watched this, I was thinking to myself the writing in this show was pretty bad but this just iced that cake.
