Ditto. Will add that I suspect re: Danny, the problem is that the actor is only okay-ish. Coupled with very generic writing for Danny, that makes for bland, except when you put him in dialogue with someone who makes a good opposite and is played by an excellent actor, which is the case with Luke.
Like I said, Alexandra as written could have easily come across as bland and boring as well. But via Sigourney Weaver, you believe this is truly a woman who has lived for centuries and doesn't let her appreciation for music interfere with considering most of humanity expendable if it furthers her aims, and you wonder whether she sees her lost daughter in Elektra, or a potential lover, or simply a guarantee for her continuing power that is only beholden to her and not the other fingers of the Hand.
