Yes, I really enjoyed that it was fun and brisk and got everyone set up for their next series.
I think that the other Netflix Marvel series could actually benefit from having fewer than thirteen episodes per season, although I guess the people who decide these things know more about the economics of TV production than I do. (Well, I certainly hope they know more than me.)
I actually shrieked out loud when Misty's arm was cut off, both in horror and also excitement!
It feels wrong to squee over a character losing a limb, but OMG I WANT THE KNIGHTWING DETECTIVE AGENCY NOW!!!
Also, I appreciated that the ninjas were now faceless people of all races, not just Asian.
Yes, that was a welcome change, and it makes more sense given their MCU origins. I guess each 'finger' mostly recruits in their home country, which would explain why Gao's people are Chinese and Murakami's are Japanese while Alexandra's reflect American demographics more.
I imagine that Elektra carted Matt out of there in one of those handy wheelbarrows that they were dumping bits of dragon in, and Madame Gao grabbed a few bits of dragon and escaped too, after making sure that Murakami was properly dead.
You know, assuming she got out with enough dragon parts to keep her going, this whole thing actually ended perfectly for Gao. She's got a much more stable power base than Elektra (even if Elektra still wants to run a ninja cult which she may not) and there's no-one else left to fight her for it. If she got what she wanted from New York, she can go back home where there are fewer superheroes to bother her. And it would be so appropriate for her to land on her feet while all her rivals die!
Luke is the absolute emotional hero of this show, though. He's so kind to everyone, takes no bullshit from the three bullshitters, and doesn't want anyone dead, not even ninjas.
I love that he's the only one who sticks to his 'no killing' policy in the face of the Hand, when even Claire things that blowing them all up might be the better option. And that he's the one who stands down so they can get everyone out of there before the building blows up. In many ways, he still has the soul of a cop. (Um, in a good 'protect society' way, obviously, not in the less admirable qualities too often found in the souls of cops fictional and otherwise.)
