There's the hundreds strong Russian troll army.

My inability to pay perfect attention to the video does not preclude my ability to appreciate its editing / I will appreciate the editing more if I'm not anxiously trying to pause things and rewind in order to catch a title card.

So is there a kind soul out there who could list the top 25 of the video for those of us who are too distracted to catch title cards consistently and too sad to catch films consistently?

The short story collection has the machines using people as processing power/ironic vengeance.

It's more about the fans that go with the team, but…

See Also: Anna Freud, way better, far less touted.

Eh, I've got some competence when it comes to consistent consonance cons.

Hmm, let's avoid assonance also.

Gawd, let's just have Malvo find a Tolkien-esque 'Red Book' describing the methods of the Bolton clan in a cross-temporal-cross-creation cross-over.

I think there are a number, but you'd probably be more likely to find it in particular groups within a faith. If you just look at an entire faith tradition scream 'ye Gad, an easy answer' and scurry not much is going to appear to you since that, in itself, is an awfully easy answer.

Maybe? I can't vouch for the church.

Yeah, western got used upstream, I just figured it was time to drop it - though the luxuries are very western.

That may be, but it specifically misses a lot of the critiques of rich powerful men (I don't know that western really makes a difference in this case) as people who accumulate power and wealth for their own sakes (or even towards secondary goals, just not, particularly, lifestyle goals).

There's certainly a consumerist thing there, but I think that's a different critique than a privilege critique. Not a separate thing, certainly, but distinct. And I think the show is smart enough to do that fairly well.

Yeah, Kilgrave is almost, forgive me, a sort of Buddhist villain in that his level of detachment is a HUGE source of his threat and power.

Justified is a great example.

Which, BTW, I thought it was interesting they kept returning to it long past when it tactically made sense to do so.

There are times when I feel the Bojack Horseman line about "I weigh over 1200 lbs it would take a lot of beer to get me drunk. And, yes, I am" was somehow stolen from Jessica Jones using time travel and then changed ever so subtlety to shed suspicion.

I would like more stand alone/quiet moments with Jessica and her people in general, but I do agree that the pacing of the Kilgrave arc ain't bad.

I kind of have the impression from that stat and her talking about how much she hates running and jogging that she could be much faster and stronger if she were interested and is only somewhat interested.
