“The Blessing of Many Fractures” hits the ground running with a clumsy opening fake-out that scarcely makes any sense (why would Colleen grab Claire’s phone?).

Full spoilers for Iron Fist's eighth episode follow.
Iron Fist’s eighth episode was a step back in quality and pacing after its strong seventh entry. It was also fraught with bad dialogue and corny Issues (yes, with a capital “I”), ones that are even pointed out by a character as being “cliche” and “pathetic” at one point.
The characters discuss their Issues — dead parents, abandonment, control — as if they were in the middle of a therapy session. While I usually like it when the characters stop to actually just talk to one another, the dialogue here was painfully on the nose. Indeed, Ward seemed to be channeling both the audiences’ and maybe even the writers’ frustrations by calling out not only the contrivance of these Issues, but also the stupidity of both Danny and Joy’s decisions. As a result, I actually found myself more interested here in what happened next to Ward (a character I haven’t cared about so far) than I did Danny.
There was A Little Trouble in Big China (or, more likely, Brooklyn) in this eighth episode of Iron Fist, which was marred by bad dialogue and ham-fisted issues. But at least the appearance of Zhou Cheng livened things up for a few moments.
