I didn't listen to it but damn, has she ever been to Hell's Kitchen? Or any poor neighborhood.

I totally agree, though I thought the episode as a whole was weak,

I totally agree. As for last night's show, did anyone else think Chris and the writers' room named that category using the phrase WTF just to get in Marc Maron's head? :D

You may have just ruined Doctor Who for me now...

I can't stand anything written by Mark Millar. Dude is a major hack.

I don't know the comic book character, but innocent or guilty, I'd want her as my defense attorney any day of the week.

And that's why I pointed out I don't dislike Hardwick. I didn't explain it right but you are correct that it's a look of love/exasperation not one of hatred. I have such a crush on Kirkman. Funny + hot = patternrec kryptonite

Yeah but babies suck at actually communicating their needs. The people around it would just be confused and helpless. Then you toss the kid in a plastic magneto cage, no airholes necessary. And while we're on the topic of kids, once I got over the shock of Hope's pregnancy and thought about the bigger picture: Given his powers and age, how many kids does kilgrave out there? (I needed a shower after I thought about this)

My three Favorite Panel Members are Ron Funches, Nikki Glaser and Doug Benson. All incredibly funny. I sometimes get a little frustrated with Benson because he "cheats" in my mind by throwing references to an earlier joke so his fans will cheer. Even funnier is that you can tell by his face that Hardwick absolutely *hates* it. Honorary mention to Jim Jefferies for this line: "'I cut myself on my emmy.' That's a real first world problem, Chris. You know somewhere in Africa there's a guy going 'my AIDS gave me AIDS.'" For the record I don't dislike Hardwick, but it is fun to watch him bristle at some things.

Ugh I was so excited to do a second watch but it's too dark. I'm only up to episode four and I'm taking a break. I'm gonna have to do the second one as a slow burn. In the meantime I'm watching some episodes of Don't Trust The B---- in Apt 23 to clear my palette. If you only watch the scenes that have Chloe, JVDB or Luther in them that show is *damn* good. edit: minor typo

IIRC they showed Kilgrave picking up the bag as he was leaving. I agree that if enough credible people came forward, the police would start believing it. The police station scene was the most unbelievable of Kilgrave's stunts, because if his powers wear off eventually, there's no way that the next day every cop that was there wouldn't start question ning the shit out of what they remembered or why all the video from that exact time frame was missing.* That said, the police station scene was badass and I think the show is better with it in than out. Kilgrave engineered his own destruction by going after Jessica. He could have lived a long long time stringing along one or two people at a time and not letting enough evidence of someone like him even become an urban legend. Instead, because he's basically still ten emotionally, he hounded the one human being who was stronger than him. Kilgrave's obsession with her blinded him to the biggest flaw in his overall plan just as her PTSD/fear of him kept her from realizing he'd lost control of her sooner (she *is* a very good PI after all). * The Absence of Evidence is not the Evidence of Absence!

I really hope we'll be seeing more of this dynamic in film and television. I'm very glad we got not one, but two shows with that as a theme (the other being Broad City).

Very happy to see this thread. Was hoping for a wider discussion in a central location. I loved this series so much I'm already 1/3 of the way through a second watch. It's interesting seeing it once you know how all the pieces fit together. In the episode where Jessica follows Simpson back to Kilgrave's latest hideout after Simpson "killed" Trish. The first time watching that, while I had theories and suspicions, I didn't quite know what kind of a game Kilgrave was really playing and I was literally talking to my monitor, yelling at Jessica about how stupid it was to get that close to him, especially since she never once suspected he'd lost his hold on her. The second time around, not only was there less tension because I knew Kilgrave couldn't control her, but I was actually wishing she'd take the risk and catch him and kill him now and spare all those lives that were lost in the next eight or nine episodes. Personally I find him so vile I think he's the best villain ever. In the larger scheme of things I could give a flying f--k if Ultron throws a giant Vibranium rock and destroys the planet. That sounds like a fast pain free way to go, and since *everyone's* family and loved ones all go out at once, there's no emotional pain or grieving spread around. Kilgrave on the other hand tore the very heart and soul in varying levels, of hundreds of people at a low estimate, given his age and how old he was when his powers manifested. edited: minor typos

Dave and Tara, you guys make my cold snarky heart a little warmer. Best couple on the internet!
