I guess I'm in the minority on this, but I thought Dexter got bad quickly after S1, and was not worth watching by at least the end of S2. S1 was fun, but the premise just couldn't handle a practically indefinite run.

Many writers may not set out to do so, but this show seems intent on commenting on gender in fiction. The very premise—a hard drinking loner P.I. who is, wait for it, a woman!—is presented in this light, with the very first episode devoting at least one scene to commenting on it. Malcolm is pretty easy to read as a…

Thanks for the confirmation. Thanos meeting the Purple Man would be a funny couple of pages, come to think of it. I only see it ending one way, of course.

There's nothing healthy about comas. Even if you could safely keep someone sedated for months, which you probably can't, human beings are built to require physical activity. It would wreak havoc on his bones, muscles and cardiovascular system, even if his brain didn't deteriorate and his liver and kidneys didn't…

I actually think that the show intentionally kind of boxes its male characters in the same way that similar shows box in their female characters. I don't know how I feel about that as an artistic decision, but it definitely feels more intentional and thought-out than a lot of other things.

Plans for Kilgrave, if you want to be clever:

This makes me suspect that you don't read very many comic books. The plotting, especially in the last fifteen years, is generally pretty good. Alias (the comic) is a good example when compared to Jessica Jones (the show).

I appreciate the read, though I don't share it. That may well be the arc that the showrunner was going for, though I'm in the camp of being generally disappointed with the show on its fundamentals, while still enjoying the actors and characters.

Wait, really? I don't remember that at all. What issues was that?

Kilgrave isn't supposed to be an allegory for white or male privilege, he's supposed to be an allegory for gaslighting, abusive relationship dynamics and a bunch of related stuff that, I guess, touches "male privilege", but isn't really usefully thought of through that lens.

"Jessica has bad plans" has to be intentional at this point. Most of her plans are really, really obviously bad. How bad her "lock me up in Supermax" plan was actually drove the plot and was a topic of discussion in that episode.

He'd been putting others before himself for most of the season? He's only a junkie for about the first five episodes, right? Before Kilgrave got him, he was going to be a social worker, and after Jessica cured him, he basically became a freelance social worker for the Kilgrave survivors.

Lack of desire to break free, due to feelings of guilt and parental responsibility? Lack of superpowers?

Doesn't know the ingredients for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich stupid. Just idiotic.

Like, room temperature IQ dumb.

Jesus you're dumb.

I'm done with you. If you were able to read, you'd be able to read any of the literally hundreds of articles linking TBI in returning veterans to shockwaves from explosions.

LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU: https://www.google.com/sear…

A single instance and a "sometimes" in a webmd article do not mean that whiplash causes concussions. It is rare. Which is what I wrote.

If that works, then how does a baseball bat to the head not give him a concussion?
