THE FANDOM ZONE 346: "The Grand Design" Is Up!

 
"Somehow, I must have known that you would walk through those doors and change everything."
"Lucky then, I guess, that day."
"Mmm, no, not luck. Not luck at all. It was the grand design."
-- Vanessa Fisk and Mayor Wilson Fisk, Daredevil: Born Again -- "The Grand Design"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "The Grand Design", the fifth episode of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, featuring Charlie Cox as Daredevil/Matt Murdock, Vincent D'Onofrio as The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, and the return of Elden Henson as Franklin "Foggy" Nelson!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like recording on Superman Day, The Fandom Zone being your refuge in the darkness, some comics background on Buck Cashman a.k.a. Bullet, the names written on the Landman & Zack document boxes being references to Daredevil: Born Again crew members, this episode having three main stories, the surgeon who operated on Vanessa needing to leave town quickly, the Kingpin being a control freak even about Vanessa's medical care, Matt Murdock's Catholic guilt about throwing Bullseye off a roof in the beginning of Daredevil: Born Again, Matt's Catholicism leading him to making really bad choices that come back to bite him, Matt finding ways to keep feeding his Catholic guilt, my letting Nik know that Arkham Asylum is now Arkham Tower in Batman comics, Daniel getting a hug from BB Urich, the flashback of Vanessa going against her boss to display the Rabbit in a Snowstorm painting, Bullseye trying to piss off Daredevil so that Matt will get angry enough to let him die, the flashbacks with Matt & Foggy while they were still associates with Landman & Zack, the flashback featuring Toby Leonard Moore returning as James Wesley, Foggy trying to get Matt to show mercy, Daniel trying to be like Buck, Daniel freaking the hell out that Buck is driving him out to the woods to murder him, learning how Buck was brought into the Kingpin's inner circle by James Wesley, wondering if we'll see the Night Nurse again, Daniel learning Buck was really wanting him to help bury Christofi Savva's body, Karen's reaction to Matt bringing Bullseye back to their secret lair, Wilson Fisk regressing to the state when his mother died, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fanmail from Dave Proctor and Jesse Jackson, wondering what the Kingpin will do now that Vanessa is dead, and more!
