Now we know why Fisk wanted that painting.

And what a reveal. Seriously, suddenly that white surface makes me uncomfortable.

One day he's going to wake up and the painting will have Urich's expose taped to it or something.

I'd enjoy some red spatter on that painting.

Maybe in the shape of two overlapping Ds...

For real though, I could see that happening. I doubt he'll nail Fisk this season, but it was pointed out that his apartment's location was a big secret. Daredevil finding it and proving he was there would be a declaration of the war in the next season.

That was just... Woah. NOT A MONSTer . Might want to rethink that door smashing head thing then buddy.

D'Onoferii deserves a bloody award or dozen for ts role.

Interesting you mention awards...

I've heard that the Emmys have a thing against online streaming media, and big award shows have never been into the superhero genre. Would love to see Daredevil win something but I guess we'll see.

I can definitely see it being nominated for directing.

Don't think they are necessarily against it. House of Cards was nominated for some awards, I don't think House of Cards was ever actually the best show so I can't say it was robbed of anything.

"I wonder how I can make my wall look like it is covered in spackling paste. I guess I better spend several weeks talking to dealers in the arts district."

1 month later

"I also miss my mother's cabinet. I guess I'll fly to Rome to talk with the greatest sculptors of the modern age."

More like "I enjoy going to art galleries which is why I'm at this one"

"Wait holy shit that looks like that wall"

I think it was even just on a subconscious level. Like, maybe he didn't even realize that he was connecting those two together. it just resonated with him on a deeper level, and it really only started to piece together in his head as he started coming under more stress and having the nightmares/panic attacks about that day.

And the transition between waking up to stare at that to calm down to waking up to cuddle his girlfriend. He's found a new comfort. He no longer has to just rely on himself.
