Hey everyone, today begins Lrm's reviews of Marvel and Netflix's The Defenders -- the 8-episode mini-series event that combines characters and events from Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. We're spreading out our reviews over the next few weeks to give everyone a chance to discuss each episode and debate the good, the bad, and the Danny Rand (just kidding, the more we get to know the Iron Fist, the less we dislike him).
The Setup
We open on a desperate chase and running fight through the sewers of Phenom Penn, Cambodia. Iron Fist (Finn Jones) and Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) pursue a lead on The Hand, but encounter a highly-skilled swordfighter instead (hint: It's Elektra). Rand and Elektra battle, and Danny appears to defeat her with a Chi punch, but not before she kills the man they sought. As an aside, it's not clear how Danny summons...

After a month long hiatus, "Arrow" returns with a hot new episode firing us up for the rest of this season. "Burned" picks up just six weeks after the events of last month's mid-season finale, with Starling City plagued by a crazed pyromaniac and Oliver Queen lacking the courage to suit up as the vigilante. As he trains in the Arrowcave, it's quite clear that the infamous Dark Archer has broken not only Oliver's ribs but also his spirit.
"Burned" kicks off with a huge flaming building swarmed by firefighters. Danny, the only remaining firefighter in the building, is soon confronted by a mysterious masked fireman who proceeds to douse him in turpentine. The masked fireman watches in ecstasy as Danny burns alive. Later, we learn that Danny is Laurel's friend Jill's brother, which of course drags Laurel straight to the middle of another unsolved murder case.
