Another great ending, that really got me, how awesome. Love the parallel of Bernthal and Barnes' characters, like lawful evil and chaotic justice battling it out.

This show still is not quite living up to the hype, but this was the best episode to date. It featured a WTF moment at the end with the bullet-resistant glass, and it featured a deep story throughout as well. We learned a bit more about what motivates these characters.
Still, so far The Punisher has been more Iron Fist-quality than Jessica Jones.

Enjoyable but terrible cgi effects

This series seems to have hit the ground running more than first series. I am enjoying the characters and story but the cgi muzzle flashes and sparking ricochets in the shootouts are laughable and give the series a cheap look which is a shame as the rest of the series looks polished

Pretty Good

Except for the drive when David and Frank talk about nothing interesting, this episode was pretty good. It was true to The Punisher theme and was a pleasure to watch.
The S&M scene with Col. Bennett was pretty revealing. Where do you suppose the writers got that idea from?
The portrayal of Dinah Madani is contradictory. She's smart enough to realize her office has been bugged. But too stupid to figure out how to take advantage of that.
Likewise, she's smart enough to realize there's corruption within her organization. But instead of focusing on that, she's focusing on catching Frank, the guy who she knows saved her life.
So Madani's got MAJOR blind spots meanwhile she realizes that being an agent is not suitable for people who want to raise a family. THAT was a powerful statement during this episode.
FINALLY, the ending of this episode was a great twist. However, you mean to tell me BOTH David and Frank knew that place was a safe house. AND YET neither of them realized an agency safe house would have bullet-resistant glass installed? COME ON - It's a SAFE house! The writers (once again) underestimated the intelligence level of the audience.
This episode was an 8.5 until that gimmicky ending, which strained credulity. We can only be thankful the writers waited until the very last shot before they ruined our suspension of disbelief.
