The way that Kastle is so borderline canon to the point we don't need a kiss to make it canon

hates him but would rather deal with franks sorry ass over kingpin any day of the week

I'll be damned if this rewatch hasn't made me into a Matt/Elektra shipper

And just to be clear: this is a rewatch, so I know she's going to be revived.

Bonus points to Kastle bits:

-You know, back at his place, I heard your heartbeats. -God, that is really not fair. You heard his too? -Oh, yeah.

You heard his too?

Oh, yeah.

man, that matt-frank-karen love triangle is gonna hit like crack when ddba season 2 comes out in 3 years

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that

its so fascinating bc punisher s1 really clearly lays out how frank views relationships and it is insane. he’s really dismissive of the idea of casual relationships (you and your women to billy) so someone either is family (thus ensuring full and eternal commitment) or there is no romantic interest. this is why the idea of doing anything with sarah is so repugnant to him (he clearly says to david i would only ever be with my wife thats why i dont want your wife). which is why when he clearly does have romantic feelings for karen even though they arent in a romantic relationship he categorizes her as wife/family/etc. of course she has no idea that he feels this way as he never expresses it to her (except to say my family is gone which is why you must be safe which is in his eyes a sort of confession (at least of his ideology)). and hes so consumed with vengeance and admittedly terrified of returning home from war (and with everything we see of him home would be family which canonically is karen) that he is completely unwilling to be around her unless its to keep her safe for some future he hasnt even allowed himself to imagine. and its aggravating bc karen! like always! believes she is the one who cares the most! and why would she suspect hes telling ppl shes his wife when theyve never even kissed! bc thats insane!

One of my favorite things about this season is the quiet moments between Frank and Karen. There are just some really beautiful scenes between them.

WOLL: One of our favorite moments is in one of the very first scenes, when she hugs him, out of the blue. I liked that because, in reading the first two episodes, you’ve been through so much and learned so much about all of the horrible things that have happened to him that by that moment, the audience wants to give him a hug. You want to reach out to him and be like, “It’s okay! You don’t have to kill!” I liked that, in that moment, I could speak for the audience. I could reach out and treat him like a human being, in a way that a lot of the rest of the world won’t. [x]
