• 2:30 — Option two doesn’t tend to get her paid, though.
• Oh, called it?
• 2:55 — “I just avoid getting involved with them in the first place.” .. which then shows a bus driving by, which makes no sense at all.
• Hrm, Krysten isn’t doing it for me. I liked her character a whole lot in the few episodes in Breaking Bad (2008-2013)[doesn’t exist] where she was cleaned up.
• 4:05 — Oh my, that’s Carrie-Anne Moss. I didn’t wonder what she was up to.
• 5:40 — Social engineering, a common practice for a private investigator since they have few legal tools.
• 7:40 — Anti-fat bias
• 7:50 — Foot fetishism (shoes)
• 9:20 — Okay, she’s now doing it for me.
• 9:40 — Fuck, it’s always the crazies.
• 13:00 — Oh, this is continuity with her throwing a guy mostly through her window.
• 15:00 — Please tell me this picks up. I see no plot, nothing interesting, no backstory, no birth of a superhero, no super powers except for her jumping onto a fire escape.. ugh.
• She has the super power of being able to turn doorknobs.
• She has the super power of being able to lift cars a little bit.
• 18:40 — I just realised fantasizing about her would be awkward if she couldn’t *cough* “control her super strength”.
• 20:30 — Introducing weak interest into multiple characters like this is bad storytelling. So.. unnecessary lesbianism. I don’t mind it or anything, but I’d rather spend some actual time making sense of this main character. This is, after all, the first fucking episode and I have no idea what’s going on.
• 22:25 — I know that guy.
• 26:10 — Damn!
• 27:00 — Well now, either she can’t have an orgasm or my fantasies are reasonable.
• 28:00 — She’s a bad P.I. since she didn’t put the bottle back in front of the picture. I guess she was off, since she was quite odd afterwards.
• 29:20 — Ear plugs. Use them.
• 32:20 — Ooh, mind-controlling-boyfriend backstory.
• 36:00 — He stole it, she figured.. because he’s black? I had to go there.
• 40:00 — How did she know the girl is from Omaha? I didn’t catch if she was told that.
• Why didn’t mind control dude just go to her directly? He’d have surprise. Why all the bullshit? Oh.. maybe mind games are his thing.
• 45:00 — A little knock on the head would solve this problem.
• Called it.
• 48:00 — I’d be leaving with them. She’s a bloody idiot.

• 49:00 — Oh, well nevermind them.

My overall impression is pretty poor so far.

• 6:40 — Is the audience going to be let in on the backstory of how Killgrave supposedly died?

  • And what the fuck kind of a name is Killgrave. Bloody uninventive name. Must be an actual Marvel character.
• 11:00 — Drama with a secondary character. This is a waste of time. How does it impact the main character? Is this being planted very early on so that it matters way later?
• 13:00 — Why in the motherfucking hell is she still at that place?!
• 14:45 — So it takes me this long to connect the bus ad to her best friend.
• 20:15 — Uh, so did Killgrave have telekinetic powers?
• 21:50 — See the thing about yanking locks off with super strength isn’t so much that the lock would break like that, but the locker itself would have its lock-tab broken off too. I think it would also be cool to have the locker lean or even threaten to fall onto her.
• 23:30 — You’d think she’s pursue all this shit a long time ago, you know.. since becoming a P.I.

• 24:00 — Why is she going back to her old place?! Yeargh!

  • It also was never established how he knew about her address.
• 28:10 — Someone, somewhere, has to have looked up those streets.
• 35:15 — Yay, fighting!
• 37:00 — So immediately that guy is way more interesting than the main character. Can we kill boring P.I. girl and replace her with bartender-man?

• 41:50 — Two named aesthetics which I won’t look up.

  • And yes they’re right about it scrambling the brain in ways that simple unconsciousness, sleep, dreaming, being KO’ed or in a coma would do.
• 44:10 — Why is she back at her old place!
• 44:11 — Why is she back at her old place!
• 44:12 — Why is she back at her old place!
• 45:00 — Nope, her friend didn’t send the glass.
• Aww, I didn’t call it.
• 46:40 — This girl is way more interesting than the main character. Can we kill boring P.I. girl and replace her with self-defence-girl?
• 48:00 — If he’s staying there indefinitely, then why would he soil up his place? If he’s staying there indefinitely and doesn’t like kids, why would he stay there indefinitely?
• 48:30 — She’s brushing her teeth wrong.
• He’s Unbreakable (2000)?

• 50:40 — Can I sleep with the big strong man and make him help me?

Oh god, this series is so boring.

• Called it.
• 2:15 — Okay, so she’d break me in half. Fantasy ruined.
• 4:45 — Wait. How does he shave?
• 8:55 — I guess she didn’t want the change.
• 9:05 — Wild Turkey (bourbon)
• 14:00 — Krav Maga
• 17:25 — Requiem for a Dream (2000)?
• 20:45 — NSA, PRISM
• 25:30 — Wha, they’re mentioning Killgrave? But, but.. I’m confused, was he never even found or buried or what? I thought he faked his death and it was just assumed he did die.
• 29:20 — And I thought he was a bomber.
• 30:40 — He left a forwarding address? Why would he do that if he was fleeing? You know, fleeing like Jessica should have done two episodes ago.
• 31:30 — Okay, I’ll admit these two are not more interesting characters than Jessica.

• 35:30 — So the thing is that she didn’t attack him, there were witnesses, the guy was okay and was still asking for her signature, and this is all a bunch of bullshit.

  • By the way, there’s a guy out there who can mind control. I also hear that cops have minds.
• Called it.
• He could be made to be quite pain resistant since he’s been controlled.
• 37:30 — Ooh, a fake death.
• Called it. I didn’t expect the anaesthesia though.
• 38:20 — I don’t understand what’s happening. She has l33t hax0r skillz or something?
• 38:45 — Who walks around with one earbud in?
• 40:10 — Jump off the side?
• Called it. I thought of this a little earlier. The problem with this is that it calls attention to every apartment on that side of the building. I really don’t get this bad guy.. he’s an idiot.
• 42:50 — You don’t want to be there. What the hell. Maybe he (rightly?) assumes she’s no longer influenceable?
• Personally, I’d have an army with suggestions implanted, but maybe he has specific limitations.
• Oh, I just thought to classify this guy as approaching omega-level. See Mutant (Marvel Comics). If he can control mutants, then he’s way up there.
• 46:10 — A blowdart would be handy. Or amazing throwing skills.

• 47:10 — Well that’s creepy. I’d burn the place down.

Still shitty. I guess I’ll have to stick this one out for a little while longer. I’m told it’s slow as all hell but “gets better”. Sigh.

• 9:35 — An innocent woman? An innocent person.
• 11:35 — Men and power? Hmm, perhaps there’s a point there.. but then the counterpoint would be that women want men to have power over them because of their allergy to accountability. But let’s not go there.

• 12:30 — I’m confused about a lot of things in a lot of entertainment.. and I think it’s mostly because I think so very differently than any character.

  • Anyone and everyone could be taking pictures of her. It wouldn’t have to be the same person, and it wouldn’t have to be a lone person. The couple we just saw were perfectly valid voyeurs.
  • However, from what I can tell so far, there is always significant enough distance that the person can either escape reasonably quickly or blend in.
• 12:35 — omg, was that a Windows 95 dialog that popped up?
• There aint no way people outside can’t hear the gunfire.
• 18:30 — Ok, so I should just suspend my disbelief in the lock thing. It’s now officially part of her superpower kit.
• 24:20 — Our side, as in our side. You know, our. side. The side with you and I. Not hard to grasp.
• 25:00 — So this minor character character with this major drug problem, whatever unnamed drug it is, will hopefully be some key person later on.. hopefully not too later on, because he’s been a fucking nuisance for so damned long. He doesn’t even help anchor the main character from being a complete dick by being the sad puppy she takes care of.
• 25:30 — What about the street names thing? Maybe that could help him.
• I still think it was incredibly stupid of her to say the name of the drug or explain what she did to her friend, when talking to the police officer.
• 28:30 — I would have had her slit her own face or something horrifyingly dark.
• 30:40 — So now she can be framed using that gun.
• 37:50 — Oh the waterproof makeup.
• 41:30 — It’s worth the risk. Plus, he might get laid. Or at least split a tub of ice cream and cry over some shit movie.
• 42:30 — Her gun is full of blanks, and he’s got a gun of his own.
• 46:10 — I wondered if the stoner was doing it. I guess I should have called it. Maybe I sort of did.

• 5:30 — So she broke the machine.. but she doesn’t have to pay for it because reasons.
• 6:30 — 10am is a special time for Killgrave isn’t it?
• 11:30 — I wouldn’t trust any of my neighbours.
• Oh, banana bread from a too-trusted neighbour.
• 12:20 — I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works. But I’ll take notes.
• 12:50 — Uh, why would she be talking openly about Killgrave?
• 13:05 — Oh.
• Damn he has mad lady-skills.
• 18:20 — “The sandwich saved me.”
• 20:00 — Real subtle.
• 21:30 — I wonder if his drug addiction is his way of coping.
• 22:30 — I’m pretty sure people can’t hand money over to people in prison.
• 24:15 — Camel toe
• 26:00 — I’d have spare needles stashed around. I’d also have the others stash them in places that I wouldn’t know about, so each of us has tools the other can’t sabotage.
• 27:30 — So if I were the bad guy, I would have various people planted here and there on the lookout for her and her known associates.
• 30:30 — Clear? No you’re not.
• 30:45 — I’d be breaking various bones, or cutting his tongue out.
• Oh snap.
• 32:00 — I would have fought differently.
• 34:50 — I don’t understand why they would be talking so openly in front of outsiders. Talking about the name, the drugs, etc.
• 42:10 — See the thing about drug addiction is.. it’s an addiction.
• 46:40 — Sorry, wrong number. (click)

• 47:45 — I don’t know how to interpret the toilet thing.

Still shitty. I give up.
