Okay, Internet hive mind ...
I have a question about the Daredevil TV show.
In the episode in which Foggy and Karen have their "date" (1x06, I think), there's a part of that scene in which my interpretation seems to be 180 degrees off from the prevailing fandom interpretation, at least based on what I'm picking up from fic, which is pretty much 100% going with this other version. So I would like to see what you all think.
That part of the "date" scene where Karen asks if Foggy can touch her face, and he does ...
It seems like the fandom took that to mean that Karen wants to pretend Foggy is Matt, so it's pretty much THE definitive torpedo-the-ship moment for the Karen/Foggy ship.
But that's not how I read it at all! I thought she was flirting with him, just picking up from what they'd been talking about earlier. Yes, she was asking him about Matt earlier, and that was kind of sad, but at this point it seemed to me that the focus had shifted to "I want you to touch my face." It's not sad! She's flirting with him! She's having fun and she wants him to touch her!
... however, apparently no one else got that out of the scene? And admittedly I can be slow at picking up intended subtext. So I'm wondering what you all thought. How did you read that exchange?
