The whole of episode two feels like a weird diversion at this point.

Not least because its the kind of thing that could easily have been avoided with a little forethought.

Guess which one doesnt feature the shows lead character?

Though I admit, any time he actually uses his Iron Fist Im enjoying it.

At least Hogarth is back, reminding us that gay characters can exist in the MCU.

Hogarth was last seen in Jessica Jones, where she waswaymore ruthless than she is here.

Although to be fair, shes been through a lot since her power-mad, borderline-evil days.

And in case you needed reminding, Jeri Hogarth is a gender-flipped version of Jeryn Hogarth.

That leads me to believe that Madame Gao might actually be the Crane Mother.

In her cage fight, Colleen calls herself the Daughter of the Dragon.

In the comics, she and Misty Knight teamed up to form the team, Daughters of the Dragon.

Im saying they are.

I sort of resent any cliffhanger that assumes the viewers have never seen a TV show before though.
