Kilgrave *not* liking the word rape also implies that he is concerned about how people view him. He doesn't consider himself a "killer" or a "rapist" (note how he tries to consistently rationalize those acts away).

I was not a fan of John Simm's Master on DOCTOR WHO, and I think the intent was to have a "Tennant-like" villain for Tennant's Doctor. But Tennant's performance as Kilgrave is *exactly* what I think would have worked (ironically enough) with The Master. He has all of Tennant/Doctor's charm but the sadistic evil is…

You can pity Kevin while understanding that Kilgrave is an irredeemable monster. Prior to seeing this episode, I'd wondered *when* he gained his powers. In the comics, it's when he's an adult, which makes loathing him far less complicated. However, developing near God-like powers as a child would turn most children…

Do you mean you dislike Simpson as a person within the show or as an actual character? I ask because I think the former is probably what the series is attempting to achieve.

Yes, Simpson at every point was willing to sacrifice Hope. Now, from a military standpoint, I can see why he'd think this, but I also can respect why Jessica wants to save Hope — even if it means that innocent people might die.

If it's a virus that affects the mind, then extreme stress could jumpstart the immune system and so forth. I mean, it's not scientifically feasible but it seems logical.

Kilgrave's mother and arguably Hope are dead because Hogarth cut the power to the electrical wire. Not only is it uncertain if Jessica could forgive her enough to cautiously work with her again but I don't know if the audience can. True, she lost someone I believe she legitimately loved, but her goal was to mind-rape…

1) I get that, but I think if ultimately, the whole point is that Jessica should have murdered Kilgrave, then she had at least three chances to do this and now multiple people are dead. That winds up being a rather bleak ending if all along, "Hope" was lost.

About 15 years ago, that THE SIMPSONS had developed what I believed was a bad habit of the "red herring opening." The show would start one way and then suddenly shift gears into something different. I can't recall when it started but I think it might have been originally an unexpected twist and even when it started to…

Homer is at most 39 (I think that age was mentioned at one point). Although 10-year-old Bart's birth is the reason for Homer and Marge's marriage, which would imply they're in their mid-30s at most. Thus, it's essentially become impossible that Abe Simpson is a WWII vet or, as this episode reveals, met Mona Simpson in…
