Teevee

Here we are at the final chapter of Frank’s tale. Much has happened to the world around us as we land this series. The Punisher is as controversial as any of the Marvel properties at this point and Frank just cannot catch a break. After the Netflix season slump we were very worried if the story could stick the landing. Did it? Well, you’ll just have to join us for our final push to get out of New York. Our next endeavor is still being considered, so please feel free to tweet @moze to recommend a new teevee series to unpack and recap. New or old, it doesn’t matter. Philip Mozolak and Devin Higgins with Sean Schbley, Eric Scott and Jason Johnson.

We Discuss: Lena!!! Brainy needing a win. Dreamer paying attention. Kara’s ONE mistake and her inability to hold a grudge. Believing in great editing. Alex’s “disguise”. The power of imagination. Heat vision surgery super-science. Lex saving people. The remaining Leviathan mysteries. Editor: David Schaub Trish Matson with David Schaub and Alan Yu.

As we near the the final stretch, the boys wonder what might be happening to this season. Moze casts doubts, and shines a light of criticism over episode 10. These two episodes have a ton of narrative weight to move in order to wrap the season. It feels a bit like a modern day Game of Thrones, and that’s activating the Worry Meter as Frank’s world comes to a close. Philip Mozolak with Eric Scott, Devin Higgins and Jason Johnson.

We Discuss: Lena’s response to failure Lex’s EXTRA vindictiveness Nia’s dream interpretation failures M’Gann and J’onn’s great heroism Brainy’s life hitting bottom Librarian Samwise’s wisdom Kelly and William’s Flailing Alex’s future costume Jarhanpurians’ strangeness Lena and Kara’s great last scene and the power of USB flash drives Edited by David Schaub Trish Matson with David Schaub and Alan Yu.

We Discuss: This great little kinda-clip episode; How EVERYTHING is Lex’s fault; Earth-Prime’s impressive Lillian; Chekhov’s pysanka? Disappointment with Lena’s characterization; Unexplained mice; Lex’s tipping point and future fall; Eve cruelty; Sad VR; Season finale production discussion. Edited by David Schaub Trish Matson with Alan Yu and David Schaub.

New York City is once again transformed into a battlefield, thanks in part to The Punisher. Granted, he did have some help from Russo and Pilgrim. Russo’s promise to build an army of disillusioned veterans comes to fruition almost overnight. Pilgrim takes a more reserved approach, as usual, placing a bounty on Frank and Amy’s heads that brings every two-bit criminal down on them. Doing so forces Pilgrim to confront a life he left behind years ago—one that he tried to remove from both his body and soul. Frank might not be the only force to worry about. Philip Mozolak and Devin Higgins with Eric Scott, Sean Schbley and Jason Johnson.

After a fast-paced first three episodes, the wild road of momentum begins to slow down. It is that time of the story where the time for backstory and motivations need to find a place.
