With the future of the show still up in the air, the Second Season of The Irrational concludes with Alec (Jesse L. Martin) and Rose (Karen David) helping smooth over a prisoner transfer that involves a friend of Alec imprisoned in Russia, along with two other Americans, for a valuable Russian asset (Eugene Lipinski) currently imprisoned in the United States.

Uncanny X-Men #12

/ / Comics

While the first few pages do play into recent events including the training of the young Outliers and and Rogue‘s concern about maybe being too hard on Jitter, Uncanny X-Men #12 is really a standalone issue that takes advantage of this group of X-Men setting up shop in Cajun country to offer a one-off story with ties to Gambit‘s past when a note appears for the X-Man.

The question that has been looming over the season is what would be the catalyst to force Matt Murdock back into the suit. “Excessive Force” answers that question by bringing the underdeveloped villain Muse out of the background and into the forefront. Killing victims and using their blood in the murals that have popped up around New York City, the threat is very real and has gone unnoticed for weeks, and becomes even more personal when he takes Angela (Camila Rodriguez) as his latest inspiration.

Daredevil – With Interest

  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – With Interest
  • wiki: link

In what is the obligatory standalone crossover episode, “With Interest” continues themes of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) struggling with his need to put his skills outside of the courtroom to use. In this episode this involves Hell Kitchen’s most famous blind lawyer walking into a bank during a robbery and finding ways to keep everyone safe, prevent the theft of a rare jewel from a safe deposit box, and dole out a little punishment. The episode works in a vacuum with the various other storylines put on hold for this single adventure which, in part, is also used to introduce Matt to the bank’s assistant manager Yusuf Khan (Mohan Kapur) who happens to have a hero in the family.
