I thought this must mean that Dollhouse season two was already gone, but I checked. Somehow season two is the last survivor. Maybe they bought the rights later, so they survive later.

Free C-story pitch if it works for Melissa - Patsy decides to dip her toe into the hero waters. But she starts getting very Patton Oswalt-y and spending all her time on Twitter pretending that Hellcat is more famous than she is. Jessica has to talk Patsy down and make her understand what a sad road she’s going down.

I was quite sincerely rooting for the Mockingbird pilot. Adrianne Palicki deserves a shot at being a star, and the premise of Mockingbird going rogue and cleaning up that crummy section of the Marvel TV world seemed like fun on multiple levels.

Now that I've steered the conversation onto JJ (or did three hours ago, anyway), wasn't Hive controlling people with the spores reeeeaaallllly close to Kilgrave?

The person you'd love to have is Krysten Ritter. And even Jessica presents challenges because the show emphasizes how limited her physical powers are. It'd be challenging to construct a quick cameo, and it'd be puzzling to anyone who doesn't have Netflix. There are good reasons why it doesn't happen.

And she doesn't write the show, and her writers can't make up their minds if Daisy is a freak or a victim or a criminal. Would you want to take on that if you were Markus and McFeely, knowing that Jed Whedon would want character credit and money even if you fixed the Daisy character? None of this is Chloe Bennet's…

Give Chloe Bennet a break. There are multiple stories of actors like Adrianne Palicki being told that being on the show would be an entree to the MCU movies, when in fact it is anything but. The movie division either doesn’t care about or dislikes the TV division, depending on who you listen to. They certainly…

So hard to see Agent Carter die for the second time in a week. But Hayley Atwell returns, in a series written by Liz Friedman, an executive producer of Jessica Jones, the best Marvel TV show and the Russos’ only competition for the title of The Best Thing Marvel’s Ever Done. I’ll definitely give it a try.

Well, it's Monday after opening weekend and the directors still have their Twitter accounts, so the reception is quantifiably warmer than last May.

Aww, they survived. Okay, learn your lesson. Dropping styrofoam on people's heads isn't going to kill anyone. You have to get up close and personal and CGI the crap out of them, like you did with that mean old troll last week.

Awww. Such happy nostalgia for all the Dollhouse fans who remember the episodes after Alpha messed with Echo. Kill, Daisy, kill!

There are probably internet types who will swear to you that Clownhouse is timeless genius, but I bet if you watch it it's just torture porn.

Jessica Jones was the first Marvel property to discuss it. And now it looks like Civil War will, too. Thousands of people died in New York. Thousands more were trapped in the rubble, their lives hanging in the balance. And the Avengers went out and ate shawarma. Of course there was going to be blowback. Of…

The hard-core ending surprised me. I thought she’d talked about it enough that that was the thing that wouldn’t happen. In fairness to Jessica, she did expend enormous amounts of her life force trying to work with the justice system. The craziest stuff always happens when the justice system abdicates its…

Preferred technique for investigators entering Kilgrave’s space is, you walk in, you smack Kilgrave enough to get the response you’re looking for if you’re going to get it, then you exit. You want everything you’re doing to serve the larger case you’re working on. I agree with Oliver - there are times where Jessica…

The articles said that we would start to relate to Kilgrave as the season went on. I think Melissa Rosenberg even said at some times he would be more relateable than Jessica. If that's true, it's in the episodes to come, for me, anyway. David Tennant is such a great actor, though, I'm curious to see if they try.

For those of you who haven’t done any reading on sociopaths, here’s the Kilgrave thing as I’m understanding it. He doesn’t love Jessica. Sociopaths have big important parts of their brains dead, most notably the part that handles empathy. They feel kinda dead a lot of the time. But the part of their brain that…

Okay, I’ll admit it: I cried a little when Jessica had to tell Luke. It’s been a couple of years since a movie or TV show made me do that. And then the final reveal on the house, just when you thought Kilgrave had done something semi-decent, was awesome.

Sorry, sloppy choice of words on my part. I meant, the first image you think of when you hear the premise is kick-ass super-powered detective Jessica Jones. But they start earlier than that, in the immediate aftermath of the Kilgrave ugliness, when Jessica is just starting to figure out who she’s become and what…

My choices for How To Do These are too easy and bullet-proof, I’m afraid: Dark Knight all-time and Winter Soldier Marvel.
