Agreed that the truth was in between somewhere. Kilgrave IS a very interesting character and David Tennant acted him perfectly.

This entire episode has a big "traumatize them back" vibe. Jessica really said "What if I put you in a room and torture you, we'll see how you like it, KEVIN!" At the same time, other than at the start it never felt like Kilgrave WASN'T in control. He's such an interesting character and I hate it. The fact that Kilgrave's mother very clearly still loves him in some kind of way, and feels so very awful about the things he's done, but I still can't help but wonder if their version of events is entirely true. Like Kilgrave said earlier in the episode, we have two opposing versions of the story, and the truth is probably somewhere in between. Kilgrave's escape scene was so intense. His mom, Trish almost killing herself, Jessica somehow resisting him. I wonder what it all means.

2024-10-12 10:15:47 +0000 UTCI see now why Jerry loves Pam so much. And no, it's not the feel-young again thing. I think it's the fact that Pam knows how to play Jerry just as much as Jerry knows how to play Pam. She finally has a worthy opponent in her mental chess match she loves to play. Wendy was just too good of a person and seems to have done the right and decent thing right up until the end when she was backed against a wall. Jerry only does what's right for her and thinks very little of others unless of course it's a slam-dunk case that'll further her reputation and career as a lawyer that always wins. Pam's on her level and someone devious like that is more interesting to someone like Jerry than a sweet person like Wendy. The whole situation is sad. I'm trying to put myself in both the parents' shoes and Kilgrave's shoes. On one hand, his parents were trying to find a cure for his degenerative disease and in their desperation turned to someone with extreme methods. So now they've inadvertently sanctioned torture on their own son. Even if Kilgrave hadn't developed his powers, that's still a horrific memory to have in the back of your mind. On the other hand, Kilgrave realized he had an awesome power and used it in a moment of rage, which terrified his parents and now that he's discovered this power, starts using it more and more and his parents become terrified and run for their lives the first chance they get. Kilgrave's left alone, doesn't know how to take care of himself, and starts manipulating people for a living. Literally. As Redditors would say, everyone sucks here. There's no good solution to anyone's problem. I love that final moment, the little smile Jessica had. Finally, a moment of relief as she realizes that she's finally got control back.

2024-08-03 12:14:13 +0000 UTCSo...pretty sure it focused on Jessica touching him there at the end because that was her focusing on the fact that she expected to feel her hands open and him slip right through her fingers...and it didn't happen. I think, if Mum hadn't stabbed him, this MIGHT have actually been a positive turning point for Kilgrave. He got angry...he yelled...but he didn't command anything (and he could have..."Dad, strangle Mum") until she stabbed him. If anything, he seemed, for a moment, to be genuinely sorry for what he had done to her in the past. That's another dead person on Jessica's conscience...and this one is actually on her more than most. She REALLY should have searched them before letting them in...even thinking she could zap them, it was DUMB to not search them. He was her prisoner, she should have treated it like a prison...nothing goes in without being searched. I'm glad someone is enjoying Simpson...'cause I want to throw things at my TV when I see him. Someone (I don't remember now if it was you or you reading a comment, my bad) mentioned "toxic masculinity" with regard to Kilgrave...as far as I'm concerned, Simpson is a walking, talking example of toxic masculinity. He knows better than the ladies. He has to protect the ladies. He's got to get HIS way because he knows what's best. If his Dr. guy hadn't shown up, he would have let himself bleed out rather than listen to Trish. He's the one that told Trish to bring the gun...and she nearly shot herself with it. He just thinks incredibly highly of himself for someone who makes a lot of dumbass decisions. It also makes me wonder how he survived in the military with his whole Leeeeerooooooy Jeeeennnnkiiiins approach to everything. I wouldn't want someone like him watching my six...because he'd be more concerned with looking like the hero than actually BEING one. On the glass, there's really no such thing as bulletproof glass, only bullet resistant. Enough shots with correct placement and something will weaken it enough to pierce. I also don't think it was necessarily supposed to be bulletproof glass as it was a decommissioned CDC facility, so it likely wasn't designed with stopping fired projectiles in mind, but more to resist pathogens escaping and a patient using standard medical equipment to escape. That's how I reasoned my way around that little plot hole anyway.

2024-08-03 12:11:41 +0000 UTCIf you think about how Kilgrave has been acting these last few episodes things start to become clear. "Choosing" not to control her when they were together even when she was beating him was all a lie. The flashback reveals that Jessica after killing reva didn't listen and Kilgrave realized that right before his accident. He suspects that she can resist him and he did not want to reveal that this whole time. She truly is special to him. The only person who didn't do what he says.

2024-08-03 01:30:57 +0000 UTCWas already in love with this show by the time we got to this one; so, I'm not sure what comes after love? Obsession? I mean, that sounds fucked up and unhealthy--not to mention how that ties in with the themes of the show, and Kilgrave's crimes. In awe? Mmmmmaybe? Well, whatever. After this episode, I became that thing. Hypnotized? A drooling idiot?

2024-08-02 22:54:37 +0000 UTCWhen I first saw this episode, I and probably like you realized we never noticed in the previous episodes' flashbacks Jessica ignoring his command after killing Reva. In my first pass I felt the act of murdering someone had such a jarring psychological effect on Jessica that her brain overrode Kilgrave's control. That's what I thought happened. It's also interesting to go from watching your Matrix Revolution watch along last night with Carrie Ann-Moss to today and seeing her play such a different type of character.
