AV Club recap - The Punisher’s second season kicks off with some kiss kiss, bang bang

Hey, so, just off the bat, I'm not planning on doing a post for each episode this season -- the way Netflix has been pulling the plug on all of the Marvel shows makes it feel a pretty futile. (Also, tomorrow's going to be a busy day for me what with dim sum in the morning, and maybe a race to do one pre-storm grocery run before the Sunday/Monday snow-to-rain-to-frozen-hellscape forecast., and the barometric pressure changes are already messing with my head, so I don't want to binge-post myself into a migraine.)

If anyone else wants to do individual episode threads, please go ahead. If not, whoever makes it to the finale first should post the Full Season 2 thread.

Anyway, I thought this was a great start. The full gamut of Frank - the aw-shucks charm, and the murder-bot. Bernthal is so good at this.

Worst one night stand ever, or...? I guess honky-tonk bathroom is swapping out for this year's hallway fight.

If anyone does a supercut of all the fights/shootouts when this season's over, please link it in one of these threads. Punisher always delivers!

So Josh Stewart was the model Steve Dillion used for every face he ever drew, right?

this season feels like it could also be an adventure right out of a Jack Reacher novel. I get that kind of a vibe from what's going on.
