Disagree. Especially the first half of Luke Cage. That was a pretty solid show. The 2nd half was Iron Fist bad.

Better Call Saul is amazing, I haven't watched any of this season yet because one episode a week leaves me feeling very anxious and unfulfilled lol.. I will probably catch up this weekend.

I had really high hopes for it, but wondered about Saul as a lead character. I think they absolutely exceeded all expectation and I think it will only continue to get better.

I kept watching iron fist waiting for it to turn the corner and it just didn't... It came out the same week I got a new 4k tv so I was able to look past some imperfections while I drooled over the picture.

The problem with both Iron Fist and Luke Cage is the lack of a central, compelling villain.

Luke Cage at least had Cornell Stokes, but they killed him off halfway through.

Iron Fist had Harold Meachum, who at least lasted the whole season and had Madame Gao, who is always compelling.

Iron Fist was so unlikeable. He was a whiney kid who never grew up. For someone that is such a badass he kept getting his arse kicked by just about everyone. Luke a relatable character. But you're right about the villains. Jessica Jones was good because of Killgave. Kingpin & Punisher (more anti-hero than a villain) were fantastic. The hand is decent. The Elektra twist was nice.

Even as poor as IF and the 2nd half of LC was, I am super excited about Defenders. It'll probably never happen, but I wish they actually tied into the movie world. The lake of a true crossover kind of hurts the believability of the MCU. It's basically 2 (or 3) different comic universes.

I got 58 upvotes before my first downvote on my Nazi comment. That's my personal best. Usually, I just piss off LSU and get tons of downvotes.

I still think that there should NOT be a 2nd season of Luke Cage or Iron Fist.

Instead, there should be a series called Heroes for Hire (Iron Fist and Luke Cage) and a series called Daughters of the Dragon (Misty Knight and Colleen Wing).

For the first one, the main villain should be Steel Serpent (Davos from Iron Fist). For the second one, the remnants of the Hand.

No, but I researched moving there. I probably won't leave the Pacific Northwest any time soon, but if I did, I would go either there or Madison WI. Really nice, cool cities.

It was 72 in the twin cities, I survived. We'll see if they offer me hazard pay for the winter months before I think about permanently resettling.

I'd love to move south, just haven't gotten the right offer yet.

Better Call Saul - They borrowed a page from a few good men. Chuck was awesome.

Anyone know Chuck is Lenny, of Lenny and Squiggy, from Laverne and Shirley.
