The editing in this episode was pretty good, which also meant, they either shot a lot of footage or had planned it out fairly well, too, when it came to motion across frames and scenes.
We have the two parallels of Matt and Fisk assuming their former identities prior to the last act in which they embrace them. For Matt, it was his decision to turn around and go back to the bank in the last episode, he is a hero and that's what heroes do. Then confronted by a teenager being kidnapped and possibly murdered after he dismissed her plea for help, well, to quote the episode, "Fuck it." For Fisk, it really evolved in this episode with his decision to punish what's his name for refusing to pay the $1.8m and seeking his own graft on top and then the point that he's gaining weight, becoming the oversized criminal boss he had been previously, and well, putting himself directly in charge of a gang of corrupt police officers. The pinnacle for both characters of course being when they beat up someone else but for different reasons, iconic to their true selves.
Kudos to the guy who plays the head of sanitation, as he got to be in the bank robbery scene and in this episode, too.
I spent the entire last act somewhat anxious about how much blood was being sucked out of the White Tiger's niece.
We've got three episodes left, Muse hasn't been firmly dealt with yet...and Kingpin is launching a war against vigilantes. I'm pretty interested to see how it all goes.
