The Dracula thing is an almost absurdly deep cut — I don’t think there’s ever been an adaptation of the book that bothers to mention it — but it is technically accurate. The best kind of accurate!

Only Dracula bought multiple properties so that he would always have somewhere to run to when the sun came up. I don’t

She’s still one degree removed from the murder, which is a far cry from the ‘untraceable’ crime she touted it as. If the police are questioning you at all, you’ve been traced.

Without the Death Totem guitar, Elvis can’t feel his brother’s spirit and lacks the confidence to play.

WITH the Death Totem guitar, Elvis’ music raises the dead.

So... what was the aberration? Was he supposed to have bought that guitar or not?

I’d love that as well, but it would be hard to fit in alongside the urgent storytelling that the writers feel so intent on giving us.

When during this season, for instance, would Jessica feel like she can spare the time to go spend a day helping Luke on some comparably low-stakes adventure? For all 13 episodes, her

Jeri seems to have a strange definition of what ‘untraceable’ means.

Jeri may not have purchased the gun through traceable means, but I have a hunch that when Inez is questioned by the police, she might mention that it was given to her, by Jeri, less than a week after Inez robbed her house, and literally seconds after

She tells Malcolm it’s not dangerous (which she does NOT know for sure) and that it’s not addictive. So either she’s lying or completely in denial regarding her near-constant withdrawal symptoms.

As big and broad as the delivery was, I actually liked the way that Dale yelled “You attacked me! You attacked me in my own home! Self defense!” as he was in the process of beating Jessica to death.

I don’t fully know why he said it — it’s not as though he needed to psych himself up — but something about it landed well

I just said this in my own comment, but as much as I’d like a Season 6 (through 8 or 9 or 10), I’m not holding out hope.

Fanservice or not, the FitzSimmons wedding was the real tearjerker moment for me. They are the heart and soul of the show, and while I could have done without the explicit confirmation that Deke is their grandson, it was a welcome injection of pure happiness for just a couple of minutes.

Oh, she’s F-able, all right.

That... IS what you said, isn’t it?

He did and he didn’t. He did call Jessica telling her to come there, because he wanted her to be present — or at least he knew that Trish would — he just didn’t tell her the truth, because he figured she would either blow it off, tell Trish, or maybe even talk her out of it.

Claire could have IDed the skull for them (even though as an RN that wouldn’t even be close to her field of expertise) and then spent the next eight episodes giving Jessica and Trish “you know what your problem is?” speeches.

I could deal with, say, three reviews a day for four days (plus an extra one somewhere). But seven and six is overwhelming. Especially when it premieres on a Thursday. Who other than a professional TV reviewer would actually have time to watch the whole season by tomorrow night?

RIP Whizzer. An interesting use for the character, no doubt, though I’m still not sure if it squandered his potential or not.

And I know he was unstable and possibly off his meds, but what was his goal at the end there? He comes to Jessica one last time for help, but then he... pulls a gun on her? And when she fights

Trish’s storyline with Max works well in a vacuum, and I agree that it’s a good story for a show with Jessica Jones’ thematic interests to be telling, but they really had to stretch to fit it in there.

Trish needs the help of Max, a famous film director, because he has clout at a... New York... public... hospital?

Okay.

He was at the rink. If you look to the left at 2:09 in the goodnights video, he almost falls down, but then catches himself and makes a face like “Whoo boy, good thing I didn’t fall down on live television!”

On the one hand: Yay, Fitz!

I mean, at least for that one a Stormtrooper can be a stand-in for the Empire of the title.

Why is Yoda on the Jedi box when he only has one scene in that one?

Five comments, and two of them — plus the one I was about to make — are the same joke.
