and what do we call this? oh, how ‘bout  s t r u c t u r e d  c o m p l e x i t y .

…every once in awhile, I allow these outer wonders to kind of blind me to the inner miracles that are occuring, transpiring every day, all around us.  I didn’t see any miracles today, Larry.  No, no, no, but, you see, the tendrils that connect human beings– one to another, they’re just so…unlikely, so inherently, um, fragile. I–I think that it’s a miracle that they even exist at all.

Say it with me: Vanessa is in a coma.

This is also from that interview and...it sort of confirms something I suspected when she was talking with Buck about wanting a gun. Buck says it isn't necessary because she has him and all of the rest of the security. Vanessa asks if he has ever been up close with Dex. Not a Ballroom but face-to-face. And my immediate thought in that moment is at her wedding and in the aftermath, when Vanessa is about to flee and opens the door to see Dex. That entire fight scene is probably the most HELPLESS we've ever seen Vanessa. The only point that is close is her poisoning, and even then she is still in control over Wilson (refusing to leave town without him). But right there, after her wedding, she is completely and totally unable to do anything but watch her life fall apart while she watches helplessly. And I wonder how many times over the years she wonders "if I just had a gun...I could have stopped it." Stopped Dex. Maybe even stopped Daredevil. I think that Dex is really sort of this interesting part of the Fisk relationship because they likely BOTH feel responsible for his place in their life. Wilson is the one who initially recruits him and turns him darker, but it was Vanessa who suggested using him to kill Nadeem. To using him further instead of eliminating him. Vanessa is the one who gets him released and uses him to kill Foggy, but she only was doing that because Wilson was gone. If he had been around they would have found a better solution to the issue of the free port being discovered. (And also, note that Vanessa never tells Wilson about her being responsible for Foggy's death. In the end she doesn't need to tell him because he figured it out. Although, it is interesting to try and determine WHEN that happened. If we assume he knew all along then it is really interesting that he doesn't actually make any move to eliminate Dex until AFTER he and Vanessa seem to be on better marital footing. He gets Dex moved to gen pop the same day he is taking Vanessa to Adam.) One thing I loved about the marital counseling scenes in DDBA Season 1 is how often Wilson and Vanessa are speaking in unison. It's interesting because this technique (married characters talking at the same time) is used to show their different views of an event. How they disagree. But Wilson and Vanessa don't disagree. They see things similarly even when they are at their most discordant. The fact that they both think they NEED to protect the other person from Dex because they both feel responsible for his presence in their life is just another example of this.
