We’re back on our website KlicKNettars. You wanna hear a funny story? See we thought we were gonna be off last Friday because KlicKNet Productions was hired to work on the set of a short film project. But the person we sent (which was actually me) didn’t go because the film set said they had too many people in the crew. But you know what that’s OK, because shortly after that KlicKNet Productions got hired to produce for another short film project. Today, we holding an interview (maybe two) for those who had recently applied on Backstage to produce our short film: Rhodey, NY. Just now, someone new applied for the role of Producer and we'll be contacting them as soon as I'm done with this Wkly Hit List. Speaking of which, we got a brand new 5-Day Rounder featuring a brand new "Kwame's Pick"
You know it's been two years since I went on my first cruise trip sailing on the Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas, and it's also been one year since my second cruise trip sailing on the Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas. I won't say that the second trip was better than the first, but I will say that the second trip was much easier than the first because all I had to do was drive to the cruise terminal in New Jersey to get there. For those who haven't seen these trips, today's Flashback Friday lets you watch Part 1 of FakeTV on Deck back in 2024, as well as Part 1 of FakeTV On Deck: The Sequel from last year. It's a special gift from us to you KlicKNettars as we continue celebrating the 5th Anniversary of FakeTV Box all year long.
For this week's Inside Scoop, we're gonna try to recap the first four episodes of Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, streaming now on Disney Plus. As you can imagine, we didn't talk about the first episode of the new season in our last Wkly Hit List because we were determine to share our thoughts about the 98th Oscars last month, and we didn't talk about Episodes 2 and 3 last week because we were off. So in four or five sentences, we're going to describe certain parts of each of the four episodes. HERE WE GO! WARNING: This piece may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen Episodes 1–4 Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 yet, stop reading now. If you would like to continue at your risk, then be my guest.
Season 2 picks up actually where Season 1 let off, with Matt Murdock trying to protect New York City as Daredevil and he's got Karen Page by his side. Mayor Kingpin has enlisted the help of "Mr. Charles" (played by Matthew Lillard) with keeping his illegal activities a secret from the public and putting as many vigilantes in the ground or behind bars like Jack Duquesne. I noticed that Matt's girlfriend Heather Glenn has been so lost since his disappearance, this only amplifies the trauma she is suffering from her encounter with Muse last season. The big shock of Episode 1 comes at the end when Daredevil gets unmasked in his efforts trying to save Cherry from AVTF officers, but he is all-of-a-sudden saved by the very man who killed his best friend Foggy.
We get to Episode 2 reveals that Cherry is okay and has been taken into hiding by his police friends, while Matt and Karen are wondering why Bullseye saved Daredevil after everything he's done in the past. Meanwhile, Mayor Kingpin calls to all of New York City to join in on the search for Matt, as he was the hero lawyer who saved Fisk's life, this makes it difficult for Matt to go out in public as himself. Angela del Toro watches her Aunt Soledad get arrested by AVTF officers during a robbery at a bodega, and she visits Matt's law partner, Kirsten McDuffie, to retrieves her Uncle Hector's Amulet of Power. The biggest highlight of this episode in my opinion is when it's revealed that BB Urich has been secretly running a smear campaign against Kingpin online; some people in real life have gone on social media suggesting that Foggy has come back from the dead, dressed up as a caricature of Kingpin in these wacky videos, but it's been BB all along. Finally, Karen does something that not even Daredevil can believe, she takes one of the AVTF officers hostage in hopes of getting some answers out of him.
Next we come to Episode 3 where, the hostage tells Daredevil and Karen that he wishes to help them in their investigation of the Northern Star ship incident that took place at the Red Hook free port. He manages to give them information that Karen later leaks to the New York Governor Marge McCaffrey who threatens Kingpin heavily, but I would argue that Kingpin has much more dire things to worry about in this episode. Kirsten represents Jack Duquesne in his trial, it's very depressing to see them lose because while she argues that Kingpin has no evidence of Duquesne being the Swordsman, the judges' hands are tied by the Mayor's "Safer Streets Initiative" and they find Duquesne guilty. Just to point out, we see Heather suffer more from the trauma at the hands of Muse, she's even gone as far as to pull out Muse's mask from a dresser drawer to calm her down. Last but not least, Daredevil and Kare save all of Kingpin's prisoners, including Angela's Aunt and Duquesne; we even have Angela jumping in the fray, but the celebration doesn't last because Kingpin has the AVTF blow up the Northern Star with a crew of salvagers on it.
Episode 4 has been considered the most popular of Season 2 thus far, it starts with Bullseye having breakfast at a diner and then luring AVTF officers to their doom. Throughout the episode, Kingpin is preparing for a public boxing match meant to raise money for his "New York: Born Again" Plans for the City, elsewhere Karen and Angela work together to leak new information to Governor McCaffrery and BB. Daredevils finds Bullseyes who plans to kill Kingpin to make up for killing Matt's best friend Foggy; and despite Matt's warnings not to make Kingpin a martyr, Bullseye ignores him and escapes. Fast forward, Kingpin has won the boxing match but is very concerned that his wife Vanessa has attended against his wishes, and then all of a sudden, Bullseye comes in to kill the Mayor with a glass ornament that is shattered by Kingpin who proceeds to killing Bullseye. Daredevil arrives to break it up and he escapes with Bullseye, but when happens next will leave everyone shocked, a shard of the ornament hits Vanessa in the head, causing her to bleed and collapse.
You can bet that the first few minutes of Episode 5 are gonna be pure chaos, brought to you by the Kingpin. Who knows how he's gonna respond to his wife's incident, and I personally wanna know something. When do we get to see Jessica Jones team up with Daredevil this season?
