Daredevil 2.12

The Dark at the End of the Tunnel

- lots of insight into Elektra's past; see her as a young child being trained by Stick; see how far back her violent streak goes
- Stick wasn't just training her; he was trying to protect her; he's the ones who introduced her to her adoptive parents, the Natchios
- This is probably my favorite part of this episode especially, the moments when Nobu and the Hand bows before her; the moments when she has to decide whether to accept their offer or not; partly I think it is the sudden turn of events
- Karen continues her turn as an investigator for the Bulletin, she visits Col. Schoonover (Clancy Brown) only to discover that he was the Blacksmith (?); actually it isn't clear to me if he was the Blacksmith; looks like he was planning to kill Karen when Frank shows up; Frank kills him, despite Karen's pleas for him not to
- on the whole I enjoyed this episode much more than the last one; some of the fight scenes were lacking something but the bits with Daredevil were always good, Elektra not so much
