Here’s number six in our episode-by-episode look at the Marvel/Netflix Defenders miniseries.

Alas, poor Alexandra!

Though admittedly we did not know her that well, Horatio.

It was so nice BEFORE THE ERUPTION.

YOU SEE, I WAS THERE ALIVE MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, DID I MENTION I AM IMMORTAL?

just in case anyone nearby doesnt realise.

You know what Id be like if Id been alive a thousand years?

Perpetually freaked out, is what.

My grandparents died unable to program a VCR without written instructions and they were invented within their lifetimes.

Where was I again?

Oh right, reviewingDefenders.

Maybe Alexandras death worked for you.

Personally, I found it and Elektras sudden reawakening-with-all-her-memories-but-also-evil-now a little anticlimactic.

Isnt Danny Rand supposed to be the guy who destroys The Hand?

Is anyone going to be left by the time he gets to them!?

Bad decision, guys.

Where was I again?

Dont tell me, dont tell me.

As usual, this episode more than gets by on the strength of its character interactions.

Those two characters and actors have incredible chemistry together.

Likewise, Luke and Danny buddying up was great to see, even if it shouldve happened ages ago.

I do fail to see, however, what Dannys objection is to being sent away from New York.

Why would he be incredulous about anything, least of all a dragon?

Im going to say it: the Netflix shows should officially get a divorce from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

THANKS FOR NOTHING DAD.

WE PREFER THE FLARROWVERSE ANYWAY.

Sorry, yes,Defenders.Were almost done, I promise.

Nerdy spots:

Danny suggesting they team up Luke Cage and The Iron Fist!

Its even shown up inAgents Of SHIELD(#itsallconnected).

And hey, the piano music Matt plays is theDaredeviltheme tune!

Which suggests his hearing is SO strong that it can even hear past the fourth wall.

Or rather, a shape-shifting alien that was impersonating her did in the comics.

But we didnt learn that it was an alien for a long time so it sort of counts.

Two more to go.

No clue where this shows going at this point.

So far Ive been enjoying the character interactions but the plot stands up to absolutely no scrutiny.

Im quite glad that were going to see whats in the giant hole fromDaredevilSeason 2.

Presumably whatever caused that big earthquake.

Some kind of ninja demon, perhaps?

Your guess, at this point, is as good as mine.
