  - That's a tough call. I think I figured out a major flaw in Alias and and Netflix shows in general. - Dignan Apr 3, 11:12 5
    - The secret is just to not have enough free time to do this. -- nm - Reagen Apr 3, 13:05 2
      - Yeah but do we really want Dignan reproducing? -- nm - iSpam Apr 3, 14:16 1
        
        He's probably got things in his basement that would appreciate his time. -- nm - Reagen Apr 3, 14:30
    - See? Netflix's process of dropping the entire season at once is awful. -- nm - Dano Apr 3, 12:02 1

  - Bernthal is fantastic, wish they had more of him in it. -- nm - groiny Apr 3, 11:08 4
    - He's certainly the only bright spot so far. nm - Dignan Apr 3, 11:15
    - I'd be the opposite - I don't find the Punisher very interesting at all. His unequivocal assuredness is boring. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 3, 11:14 1
