A couple of brief comments on Daredevil 1x10

(We marathoned a lot more of it last night than we were really planning on. Send help.)

MATT AND FOGGY ARE SO CUTE OH GOD HALP

... and also tragic. But holy moly, the flashbacks. XD XD XD They did a really impressive job, I thought, making them look younger! And just generally seem a lot younger, in the university flashbacks. ~Baaaaaaaabies~~!

Also, if I'd had an ideal scenario for Foggy to find out about Matt, this was pretty much it. AAAAAA CUTEST. ("How many fingers am I holding up?")

I don't want there to only be three more episodes ever!

How did Foggy find out about Matt in the comics, anyway?

I really appreciated that Foggy finds out Matt's secret identity relatively early compared to the comics. (In the comics it happened only in 1995 in Daredevil #347. It was at the end of a convoluted storyline where Matt had faked his own death, so Foggy didn't think he was alive and then found him in a costume together with Karen but he was in a catatonic state or something.... it's comics. For a summary, go:

Ahhhh, thanks for the links! I hadn't realized he found out that late -- for some reason I thought he knew a lot longer than that. And yeah, I like how the show is doing it much better; I guess they're trying to compress the emotional developments of a significant chunk of the comics into just a handful of episodes, but I'm very happy with how they're handling it.
