She seemed pretty competent to me. Just because she can't throw around a big guy with extensive training in a protracted fight where she can't get away doesn't mean she's bad at fighting - it just means she's, well, a lot smaller and that guy is a professional spec ops soldier.

If Netflix decided to make one of their shows in full old fashioned serial style I think it would be amazing and hilarious.

I think Hope also had something to do with Jessica's decision: after she committed suicide it removed one of the major reasons Jessica had been trying to capture him/get him to confess/etc. She'd identified so fully with Hope that saving her had been a really huge priority for her, and without that possibility it…

I thought Simpson's increasing (very obvious) frustration even from before about everyone else's attempts to capture Kilgrave, prove Kilgrave's abilities, and so on instead of just murdering him, combined with an overdose* of his crazy drugs could explain a lot of that: he's settled into a single minded, impulsive…

I think you can be pretty tough and still get knocked out by repeated blows to the head from a 2x4, followed by hitting your head on the floor on the way down. That looked like the sort of thing that could very easily kill a normal person.

I'm not sure how different this episode is from any of the other ones where we saw Kilgrave interacting with other people. Causing people to either try to commit suicide or holding their potential suicide as a threat over Jessica is sort of what Kilgrave has been doing the entire show, so I'm not sure how it's any…

It is, and it's what he ordered when he took Jessica there and told her to love it.

They were there because Trish/etc. made Kilgrave a famous thing/asked people who knew about him to show up/etc. I assume the parents showed up because of that and (the mother) got sucked into the support group, probably out of guilt of some sort. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that they would end up in the…

The late night talk show is already something that mostly draws an older crowd - it's basically the last dying remnants of the old variety shows, and it sticks around because of old people watching it. So it was already an odd fit for Colbert. Having it be the one on the network that already directs itself to an…

I think there's something neat about the fact that Jessica's plan for Kilgrave was so obviously never going to work. I mean, I don't think it's necessarily a plot hole, because it makes sense for her character to try something like it - she's very intelligent but also has a tendency to just go with blunt force rather…

The bit with the bus was at least a little ambiguous, I think. We know that it's because she wasn't being affected, but after months of abuse she probably did feel some influence even if it wasn't from his power just as a result of how human beings respond to long term abuse. And the timing was short enough ("come…

I don't know about the long game but she's been pretty directly amoral through the entire show, including in smaller scenes like justifying Jessica's … "methods" which, I think, mainly means beating up people and/or breaking things when she probably doesn't need to.

How Reva got them is itself a really interesting question - or why she knew they were buried deep in the concrete in that building.

I can't help but wonder about Kilgrave's parents and their explanation for why they put him through those treatments. I mean, it sounds like a good explanation but it doesn't necessarily square very well with how we saw him treated by people in the video, or the number of other children who were on it either. At the…

To a limited extent, sure, but he's also playing it up for sympathy to manipulate everyone else in basically the way you'd expect to see from a sociopath and/or domestic abuser.* He's probably right that his parents did a terrible job and then abandoned him, but at the same time it's not like that excuses anything he…

Oh man no Squirrel Girl is super as all get out. She defeated Thanos in a fight, all on her own.

Well she doesn't want to kill anyone, right?

That she may just be strong, and have the same mass may have everything to do with leveraging strength effectively

I found his casual description of pasta amatriciana as Jessica's favorite food maybe the most chilling part of the show so far.

The lack of effort he showed in the bar fight, casually knocking people over and stuff, followed by the bit where he and Jessica test their strength against each other (he loses, but not by too much) makes me think he's super-strong.
