WE ARE BACK KLICKNETTARS, and we couldn't have picked a better weekend to come back. That's because it's Easter Weekend, which rumor has it, is going egg-less this year. But that's okay, because we still have WrestleMania Weekend, the WWE is holding its Biggest LIVE Event of the Year at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Some are calling it the most unpredictable WrestleMania in history and it all begins tonight with Night One featuring the Main Event of CM Punk vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat Match. Then on Night Two, it's Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against, but not the John Cena that everybody has known and loved for the last twenty years. As for us, KlicKNet is set on producing well over 13 episodes of FakeTV Box over the next couple of weeks, how and why thirteen you might ask. It's all has to do with our big announcement from yesterday morning, and if you didn't see it then, here's your chance to watch it right now.
This is the boss speaking now, and I would like to say that on behalf We are very proud to be making a sequel to our FakeTV on Deck series from last year, and it wasn't easy to keep this announcement a surprise, I wouldn't call it a secret but more of a surprise. When going on the vacation last year on the Odyssey of the Seas, it was like an out-of-body-experience because #1 I had to fly to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida which is a really city by the way and #2 Cruise Ship are mobile resort hotels/shopping mall/entertainment complex. The cruise last year lasted for six nights, which allowed me to do a six-part series on the KlicKNet channel, and now this year KlicKNet will be doing a follow up on the same ship from the Royal Caribbean. But the difference now is that we'll be doing seven episodes, instead of six, because this time I was on a 7-night trip sailing, and as the trailer said we're calling it: "FakeTV on Deck: The Sequel." We thought about giving it the subtitle: "The Sequel We Never Thought We'd Make," then there was "The Sequel That Not Even We Thought Would Happen," and finally there was, and I just making it up on the fly: "Oops, I'm on it...Again." All kidding aside, I look to forward to editing seven episodes documenting what is only the second cruise in my entire life.
Now it's time for our Inside Scoop of the week, and it covers the Eighth Episode of Season One of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney Plus. True story: I watched the first half of Episode 8 when I was in Nassau, Bahamas on a Wednesday afternoon and then I saw the second half last Saturday when the Odyssey of the Seas was sailing back home to NY/NJ. I admired how it set the stage for the Season Finale which premiered this week, I call it "Writing for Superhero TV Show at its finest." Just like everyone else, I can't wait for the second season next year and who knows, we might a Season Three and Four sometime in the future. The last two episodes of Born Again certainly live up to all the hype and so is this recap I'm about to do. I thought about recapping Episode Nine as well, but I think I'll save it for next week. WARNING: This piece may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen Daredevil: Born Again Episode Eight yet, stop reading now. If you would like to continue at your risk, then be my guest.
Episode Eight begins with Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter being moved from moved from solitary confinement to gen pop by orders of Mayor Wilson Fisk, and he does not seem happy about it. Fisk is a very busy man in this episode, first he reveals his imprisonment of Adam to Vanessa who makes the stunning decision to gun down Adam in cold blood, which Fisk looks on at very emotionless. Then, Fisk hires Daniel Blake as Deputy Mayor of Communications which doesn't sit well with other city officials and members of Fisk's Mayoral staff, and just to make matter worse, for Matt Murdock that is, he invites Matt's girlfriend Heather to his Black & White Ball fundraiser. Speaking of Heather, she is still shaken up after the melee with Musa in the previous episode, it's not having to put a serial killer down with a gun yourself, but Heather is trying her best to come to terms with it. Things have really gotten shaky between Heather and Matt because Matt finds out that Wilson Fisk is one Heather's patient and he has to contest with her anti-vigilante views, even after Daredevil saved her from Muse. Later Matt goes back to Josie's bar where his best friend Foggy Nelson was killed by Bullseye, he meets up with Josie and Cherry who simply talk about life, but then Matt realizes that Foggy was celebrating an impending court win the night he died. This prompts him to pay Poindexter a visit in prison even though he reluctant at first, and from there Matt interrogates Dex on whether or not Fisk hired him to silence Nelson, but Dex refuses to give him an answer.
So Matt decides to injures Dex and lie to prison guard that Dex did it to himself. Matt makes the bold decision to attend Fisk's Black & White Ball as Heather's Plus One to see if he can get any answers, but while all of that is taking place, Dex kills his doctor and a guard before escaping prison, and you know that can only mean that there's gonna be blood later. At the ball, Fisk blackmails Jack Duquesne—who is the sword-wielding vigilante Swordsman—and other socialites into supporting his port project, personally I don't wanna see Duquesne, he was excellent in Hawkeye and I feel that a lot Marvel fans wanna see more of him in other MCU projects. Elsewhere BB Urich has been well aware of Wilson Fisk's involvement in her uncle Ben Urich's murder, and she asks Commissioner Gallo to help her bring down Fisk and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. We move back to Matt who dances with Heather, he begins to put all the pieces and realize that it was Fisk's wife Vanessa who hired Dex to kill Foggy. It makes perfect sense when you think about because in the first episode, Wilson swore to Matt that he had nothing to do with it. Matt confronts Vanessa while dancing with her, he realizes that Foggy was conducting his own investigation that would've threatened her criminal empire. While the two of them are dancing, Fisk starts to tell Heather that Matt is Daredevil, but before he can actually spill the beans, Dex arrives to shoot at Fisk, but Matt does something that leaves everybody, including Fisk, the ball guests, the audience watching this episode and myself, in complete shock. Matt takes a bullet for Fisk, I REPEAT, Fisk takes a FREAKIN' bullet for Fisk. If you think that was crazy, wait til I talk about the Season Finale next week.
