This Robyn girl needs a serious beat down!! I can't stand her stupidity anymore!! she's soo annoying ugh
Yes, thank you, Robyn. You just killed Hope and almost three other people, thank you very much indeed. God, I'm so mad right now.
Last episode, there were some stupidity. This episode stayed smart till the last part when people attacked Jessica at her apartment, so much for a super hero yeah!! And then Hope killed herself!
I don't know, am I the only one find this and the last episode stupid and poorly written? Am I the only one complaining?? I watched so many shows from various genres, I watched Daredevil, which is in the same universe. However, a simple comparison between Jessica Jones and Daredevil show's quality will reveal how mush this show is poor!
I really feel sorry for all of that, I wanted this show to be good, but it is has many stupid moments, I don't what the writer was thinking tbh! I am not just whining about some events happened and I don't like, I am talking about give us the same events but with some smart storylines, don't give me the feeling that I am an idiot for god sake!
Wow. I thought that Jeri had finished what the character was created for last episode, but what a forced way to tie loose ends !
Same thing with Robyn that was annoying since the beginning and was probably added only so there was something to fuck things up at this moment. Feels really forced too.
And now there's Simpson, high on some kind of super soldier meds. That's very very poorly played. I guess the point is to show he doesn't behave as usual, but he just looks and speaks like a moron on acid. Also, he can just kill a cop like that, and then burn all evidence ? When his whole involvement was based on him being unable to let go while thinking he killed someone ? And if it can change him to this point, why does he just leave and don't come back when Trish kicks him out ?
We'll pass on the vaccine being developped from a drop of blood in a few hours, that's actually standard in almost any movie/show.
Poor Clemons that was 2 years from retiring. Poor Wendy, that had nothing to do with it, and Pam to a lesser extent.
Kilgrave was good all the way, as usual. I liked the ending confrontation, and Hope's reaction and sacrifice, though it was poorly planned, but the rest of the episode is really a mess of stuff happening for no reason.
Very intense episode. I have to say there's a lot of "suspension of disbelief" happening these past few episodes, there's always some terribly inconvenient thing that goes wrong and lets Kilgrave escape, this time at the hands of someone who was supposed to be just a comedic relief side character but who somehow derails the entire plan and is able to knock out Jessica despite her super strength. It's hard when your characters have super strength and mind control, it forces the writers to find ways to keep the plot going. I feel like it's not satisfying for a viewer when things go wrong because of something that feels so silly.
The most disappointing episode of the entire season so far.
The point of the whole series dies in this episode.
This was just bad. Really bad.
This was the worst episode ever. The plot was pending on that stupid girl and now just like that, Jessica's free to do want she was meant to do since the first second she had Kilgrave in her possesion???
LIKE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW? COME ON. This episode was beyond stupid, too many people involved in something that must be a secret, Kilgrave has an incredible power and people tries to get him just like that. They're so dumb. I'm pissed off right now. I REALLY hope the last 3 episodes are worth watching, or I'll be MAD.
Ahh here we go with the vaccine narrative.
Boy am I glad that this is over soon because the longer this goes on the more I get bored. They are dragging this plot and there is already no more life in it to squeeze out. I would quit right now if I wouldn´t be afraid to miss something of the bigger picture of the Netflix shows.
Follow 1x09, Jessica Jones and the yellow dress
Yessssssssssss... Yes yes yes yes.... Im so fucking happy, glad, excited, extatic... Yeeesss... Im so glad Hope killed herself. Jessica has now yet another corpse on her conscience... And basically doubled the significance of all other dead people who died because she didn't want to kill him in the first place. Whatever happens from now on I'm satisfied with the amount of grief Stupidessica has endured. Stupidity must hurt!
This was indeed a bit of a letdown story wise.
what a simpson twist lol ! sad for Hope but stupid move ugh

3.5/10. This was, if you will pardon my french, a shitshow, especially afer how good the last episode was. The plotting was contrived, the acting was off, and the character motivations were haywire.
Let's start with the worst part. Robyn has been an unpleasant character from the moment she's been on our screens. Sure, to some extent that's the point, but it takes any story involving her down a notch from the getgo. She's a very broad character on a show that aims for something approaching naturalism even as it depicts super-strong heroes and mind-controlling villains. While I appreciated Malcom's dliemma (his character has quickly become one of my favorites for his quiet earnestness and strength despite what was done to him), giving Robyn such outsized characteristics and personality quirks just made it hard to have sympathy for her even in what should be a situation filled with pathos for the character.
And my god, how ridiculous was it that this crazy woman is able to not only rally the troops to go after Jessica, that it happens to coincide with Malcolm baring his soul, and that they just so happen to show up at Jessica's when she has Kilgrave on lockdown and things are otherwise fairly stable. The concept of the misguided outsider thinking the hero is the real villain, and that the villain is the victim, thereby freeing the bad guy and unraveling the hero's good work, is such a tired cliche in superhero stories especially. Channeling that story through Robyn was a poor choice especially, and it was all too convenient that it happened when it did. It seemed as though the writers said, "we need something to upset the applecart here, and this is just random enough to do it."
Speaking of convenient, I'm apparently one of the few people who's enjoyed the Hogarth-Wendy-Pam triangle this season, but Pam showing just at the right time to unintentionally kill Wendy was a bridge too far. There were tons of ways you could have had Pam realize that Hogarth is full of crap and realize that she was trying to use Kilgrave to get Wendy to sign the papers without ending up in this contrived, all-too-on-the-nose morality play where Pam ends up in jail. The scenes with just Hogarth and Wendy were actually pretty solid. The combination of Wendy's disgust and woundedness worked, and the "death of a thousand cuts" setup was tense. But the utter plot-convenience of how it ended up, especially with the hamfisted scene in the jail afteward, were facepalmingly bad.
And then what was with crazy Simpson? I mean, I get that he's taking some strange super solider pills, but his going all crazy Riley Finn seems unmotivated. His killing Detective Clemmons and torching the place felt out of character, and even if you can sell it as a Jekyll and Hyde situation with Dr. Koslov's pills, I just didn't buy the actor's performance. The insane incarnation of Simpson just seemed kind of goofy, rather than a deranged extension of the character we already knew. I don't know what to make of him.
Then the flashback with Jessica Jones in the dreamy past was so strange as well. Again, it was an extraordinarily blunt way to deal with the idea that she and Kilgrave look back at things differently. Plus I nearly died of ugh when Jessica said, "I'm all ears." And then we have some weird setup where Kilgrave's dad is trying to make a vaccine and has to use Trish? It's fine in principle, but it all goes so fast and strangely.
Then, of course, there's the end with Hope. I actually like the idea of Jessica allowing lots of collateral damage from Kilgrave's continued existence because Hope is a symbol for her -- of herself, of innocence, of a way she can make herself right with the world, and I like the idea of Hope rejecting that because she's much more pragmatic, her wounds are fresher, and she can't imagine what kind of life she can have now anyway.
But ye gads, did we really need this sort of complicated SAW-like set up from Kilgrave in the restaurant. There's a point in most seasons of Dexter where after the show has spent a great deal of time introducing characters and setting up cool conflicts, you get these more and more elaborate and convoluted setpieces as the cat and mouse game continues and the show keeps throwing more and more balls into the air. I think we reached that point here, and it's not a good look for this show, especially if, as Dexter did, it struggles to stick the landing after all the insanity it invokes.
