This episode felt more like a mid season finale than a proper season closure. Overall I did enjoy the show, but it did feel like it was two shows in one. Hopefully next season will get us back on track.

Definitely ended strong. And that was way more gruesome than I expected (or even wanted tbh)
Can’t wait for season 2 and the Punisher special
Oh was that the finale? I thought it was building up to a big finale next episode
Solid finale in my opinion.
I can see why various YouTube channels are predicting a return of all the Defenders next season, although it's a pipe dream.
I will say that I'm very surprised we got a mention of Ray Nadeem. That's a sign to me that this is a fairly full continuation of the prior Daredevil series, less of a Disney bargain than I'd feared. They could easily have not named him and made allusions instead.
I mean in a war on vigilantes, the return of the Defenders makes sense. I expect us to see a new White Tiger next season. We already have Swordsman. Why not bring back some old ones?
I'd love to see that and will be disappointed if we don't see 'em all, but I like to keep my expectations... realistic?
If I only get to pick one, I pick Jessica Jones.
I think you can easily say that Luke & Claire moved away and Danny moved to some new magic realm.
But! If you're bringing them back, bring back everyone. Not just Jessica, Luke & Danny, bring back Misty Knight and Colleen Wing and just any side character we've introduced. We had Endgame. We're going to have Secret Wars. Give us the small screen version.
Great episode.
Shit season finale.
Why do you think so?
after spending some time thinking about it, I decided it basically boils down to it made the entire season feel like it could have been a 2 hour movie and not lost anything.
I whole heartedly disagree.
The entire season was laid out the same way they do comic book runs. There was a series of shorter story arcs which each bled one into the next and all fed into a single overarching arc that lasted through the whole season.
The 1st episode was a bridge between the Netflix series and Reborn while setting up the overall season arc.
Episodes 2-3 were the trial of White Tiger while establishing both Muse and the context for the ATVF.
Episode 4 was a bridge between the White Tiger arc and the Muse arc while furthering the ATVF story.
Episode 5 was a bottle episode, but did a LOT of world-building and is probably the single most comic booky episode of television Marvel has ever produced.
Episodes 6-7 was the Muse arc which also fully established the ATVF.
Episodes 8-9 was the culmination of the season-long arc and bringing Bullseye back into the story.
Even the season ending on a new paradigm (Fisk's martial law and beginning the full-on war between Daredevil and Fisk) is such a comic book move.
I know they came in and had to rework the original plan for the series, but I think they did an excellent job. The only thing I'd have changed is to have more Karen and Frank.
Yet another half-baked show by Disney. It's too short, too rushed, and too superficial. The characters are empty, and there are no meaningful connections between them. Visually, it looks as generic as it gets. Born Again is miles behind the original show in terms of cinematography. What a shame.
