Roadhouse Blues

I jumped up from my Couch to celebrate the first big fight in the Bar in this Episode. Its so intense, so full of good action, that you just want more and more and you don't get disappointed!

This happened to me only in one series before, which was Breaking Bad. Loved the first Season and it looks like the second Season is going to be even better!

Have fun!

Strong beginning at strong series. And finally frank aint't too busy to get laid. Only because of that he will fight even better. Im thrilled!

Marvel Execs...It's time to make a big screen version of The Punisher. Have Jon Bernthal as Frank and give Alexa Davalos (Beth) a role as Frank's love interest. She was spot on with this character. I haven't seen such a believable and magical on screen (TV or otherwise) collaboration in a very long time and in my book it tops all the other Marvel Universe romantic pair-ups I have seen. The chemistry was simply amazing...and the funny thing is they achieved this in mere minutes of the first act...it was beautiful to watch. I was reminded of scenes in earlier Punisher comic books...were there was a calm before the storm...moments when we got to see (hear) Frank as a man filled with compassion, driven by love and truth and ready to break 'many' bones and skulls to defend those virtues. Fight scenes and car chase aside this was an award winning episode IMHO.

Well done and congrats to all the cast and crew.

I'm off now to continue my binge ;-)

Putting the inevitable cancellation aside, there has always been something so unique and refreshing about the tone of this show. The way it can go from 0-60 in an instant and not seem repetitive is remarkable. Trouble always seems to follow Frank and he always relishes it.

A country live band in a calm bar was great way to start the second season as it shows you how Frank is doing and what place he is in and having Alexa Davalos play Beth worked perfectly, good chemistry between the two. I'm loving the story arc with Frank having to defend Amy Bendix, it's a plot that isn't that original but it's mostly really good and it will work perfectly in this show, can't wait to see more of it and Jigsaw

What stood out most of this episode was the fight sequences, drama and new cast. The fight sequences started great and seems like it will only get better, with Jon Bernthal doing all of his stunts it can't get any better as it feels more realistic and his portrayal is believable and seriously scary in how fearsome he looks when his killing instincts comes out, magnificent.
