    I'm not sure how much to say here because I haven't finished the show but at least as far as what it looks like they're doing later on then yes there is. (Do a wikipedia search for "Nuke", and read down at the very bottom.)

    At least in the comic books his control comes from a chemical (pheromone) that he gives off (constantly, without any control over it). So while I'm guessing that he hasn't particularly put any effort into figuring out how in the show, given his character, pretty much any form of communication could work as long as

    I thought the fact that Jessica Jones was already the recognizable character we see in the show before Killgrave got ahold of her is both a more accurate picture of how trauma works and a good one too. She's already been through trauma in her life when growing up, and the horrible experience with Killgrave has made

    I liked how Jessica didn't seem especially bothered by the fact that it was Malcolm that was watching her. She's bothered by the idea of someone watching her, but when it turns out to be him there doesn't seem to be much in the way of any additional feeling of betrayal or anything. It's like she views him as a kind

    He also had the superhero name "Power Man".

    The casual backhand was pretty amazing too.

    Maybe it was from someone trying to fix the door?

    Ok you do realize that the central antagonist, around whom (with the protagonist) most of the show is built, is an abusive and in the most literal sense possible controlling male, right?

    No kidding. I want that series RIGHT NOW.

    Well, yeah. Those are basic life stuff, like having a casserole pan or something.

    On a smaller scale too. I liked how one of the most common things Killgrave told women to do was to smile - as in, it shows up over and over.

    He literally said "Sweet Christmas" and it didn't sound bizarre or insane.

    That part felt hilarious true to me, without being stupid or too stereotypical. Especially the bit where people tell him to stop and then a few minutes later he pipes back up with "ok but actually with some epoxy…"

    Really, really good.

    You're still just trying to come up with a reason why they'd be better than standard public transportation - and yes busses are safer than everyone driving themselves around. And short of massive public subsidies we are definitely not going to see anything even resembling a fifty percent replacement within ten years

    Yeah "tested" is not the same as actually having ones that could function successfully in the world. And we absolutely do not have those anyway.

    I think there's a strong argument to be made that this show does absolutely discuss feminist issues too, though.

    Whether or not a film/etc. is feminist doesn't necessarily depend on it being one that has a strong female lead*. But if you're going to say that anything short of a video taped recording of a speech by a feminist theorist is feminist then I think there's a pretty strong case to be made about a show where the main

    The recent Black Widow comic has been really great, though, so I don't know how far that goes.

    ..The problem is that Gordon has already crossed back and forth across the line several times in the series to date
