Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the flashback scene, one of the nuns mentions to Stick of Matt's mother not being deceased. This hint is based on the fact that during Frank Miller's run in the comics, in the "Born Again" story arc, Matt's mother Margret was revealed to still be alive, where she had run away to become a nun and is living under the name Sister Maggie.
- GoofsAt the end of the episode(at around 45mins) when Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall )sticks the card of "black mask" the thumbtack is silver then the camera goes off and when it goes back the thumbtack is red. NB: The king of diamonds card next to it is also slightly different.
- Quotes
Stick: Smart don't come out of books, kid. Smart is making the right decision at the right time. Like now. What's it gonna be, Matty? You gonna spend your life crying and rocking yourself to sleep at night? Or are you gonna dig deep and find out what it takes to reshuffle those cards life dealt you? Your call.
- ConnectionsReferences Perry Mason (1957)
Featured review
"The only thing you know for sure is he's gone now. But I'm here. Now, get up. Time to stop taking a beating and start giving one"
This episode is all about Matt Murdock's past and how he trained to become the vigilante he is. His master known as 'The Stick' is also blind and he trains Murdock when he is very young. The relationship between them was strained because Murdock wanted him as a father figure. The Stick returns in his life distracting Murdock as he was attacking Leland Owlsley trying to get more followers information on Fisk.
Scott Glenn gives a great performance as 'The Stick' as he gives off a cold, distant performance. It's clear him and Daredevil are not on the same wave length as each other, there just seems to be absolutely no compassion or remorse for his actions.
The other side plot is more about Karen and Foggy and more about Karen and Ben trying expose Union Allied. Those are okay but unremarkable and don't really progress much.
Definitely a stand out episode though because of the presence of The Stick and also the mysterious ending :)
