"Just happens" is probably not entirely fair given how she was trying to track down what was going on, and finding the support group (by following Malcolm, say) would have been a pretty obvious thing to do.

And it's made pretty clear that whatever he gives off is both airborne and very, very infectious/contagious/whatever (as in, anyone-within-80-yards-gets-it-and-then-keeps-it-for-24-hours level). All he needed to do, and the show definitely implies that he did this, is wander around the hospital for a while letting…

Of course Jeri believes that Kilgrave has powers. She just underestimates what they actually are, and overestimates herself massively, both of which make sense given what we've seen of her character up till that point.

I'm pretty sure panic makes it hard to come up with and execute clearly thought out plans. And that's exactly the reaction Jeri had, and most other people would have.

This is right: even for almost anyone switching gears to "knife fight for my life with person I know very well and do not feel threatened by" would be extremely difficult. The fact that she didn't manage to get beyond "what is happening!?/escape-escape-escape" reactions isn't psychologically strange at all. It's how…

This last bit seems exactly right to me. Jeri assumed that Kilgrave was basically like her - manipulative, controlling, and so on. And she assumed that that meant she wasn't really vulnerable to him at all, or at least that they were potential adversaries or something, only to discover that no Kilgrave isn't really…

Yes - Hope was right on the edge way before Kilgrave waltzed into where she was and dragged her right back to where she had been before. Her committing suicide was an act of desperation, but not really that surprising of one in the situation.

I don't know how seriously normal people would be taking "weird advanced aliens say that there's an afterworld for them and that they occasionally visit there for picnics and stuff" as serious evidence of much, even if that was common knowledge (and I suspect that it isn't).

And it's not like Jessica hasn't been aggressively doing stuff that would give any reasonable person a strong sense of that (because, well, it's true), so adding in that last bit of information making clear to everyone just how much they're being lied to and used by her is the sort of thing that would make any…

Kenobi gives him a pretty serious "what kind of tourists do you think we are here?" look that supports the "Han was screwing around to see how dumb these hicks are" reading too.

I don't think taking it that way is reading too much into it at all. That really does seem to me to be what's going on with Jessica, at least. And, though in a different way, with Simpson (who sees killing Kilgrave as the obsessive option, while to Jessica it's the moving-on one).

The funny bit is that if they'd gone back to the early superhero stories, before comics had built up a convenient fictional world for dealing with powers, they'd be stuck with some combination of (1) superpowers are mystical-object/technical-thingy based and so the guy just gets it taken away from them, (2)…

I think that's her excuse, but I'm not convinced that that's her actual motive. I'm not at all certain that she thinks of Hope as anything more than a stand-in for herself.

If you'd actually read some fact or history instead of bullshit white supremacist crap you'd see all of those things all over the place.

I'm pretty sure "next to a bomb" can affect bones as well.

It was when it was made. Just because something has a sequel doesn't mean it isn't a standalone movie.

It's also worth pointing out that while is brilliant deduction that led to finding Solo on Cloud City amounted to (1) hanging around when the star destroyer left in case they were still there but just hiding somewhere, and (2) visiting Han's friend who lived nearby to see if that's where they went.

I don't know about that: they seem like people who went into the theater really, really, really excited to see a movie they'd already sold themselves on and then watched it in the middle of a crowd of people who were all in that mindset and, well, the movie didn't break down or anything.

It's not really her strong suit, at least when it comes to things where she has really, really strong emotional reactions.

Even if he commanded her on camera it would have to be a particularly obvious/weird command for it to look like real evidence. The fact that Jessica is trying to capture on tape a power that is, by its nature, completely invisible is a good reason to think that she's not actually thinking clearly about what she's…
