Daredevil 2.08

Guilty as Sin

- Foggy and Karen do their best to keep the defense of Frank Castle together but Matt and Frank blow the case wide open and Frank goes to prison
- Matt and Elektra encounter the Hand; Stick shows up to give them a -- er -- help them out, or is it the other way around; Matt learns more about Elektra and her ties to Stick
- not great but not awful; it had its moments but some of them weren't so great
- glad to see Stick back in the story; he really knows how to push Matt's buttons; I don't think we've seen the last of him; he will be back, probably this season
- no great Karen or Foggy moments
- loved seeing Clancy Brown in this episode playing Frank's former commanding officer; doubtful that he will show up again in Daredevil but hopefully in the Punisher series he will
- Karen finally got to meet Elektra, not that she even knew Matt was running around with her
- Elektra sees the good in Matt and wants to be good too but ultimately her true nature shows through as she kills the ninja
- Matt's pollyanish attitude about not using deadly force against the Hand is annoying; he thinks he can have it all his way; seems like he might be headed for a breakdown
- Elektra's reveal that she was working for Stick, when she first met Matt, hit him kind of hard
- just as the 4th episode seemed to end the 1st part of this season, as it ended with the capture of Punisher and the introduction of Elektra, this episode seemed to end the 2nd part of this season, as Frank's trial ends and he heads off to prison and Matt's life seems to be in bad shape as he blows it in court, blows it with Karen, and learns the truth about Elektra
