frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I watched the first episode last night, and would like to stay unspoiled please and thank you. It's just an okay show and story for me. Ron Mexico are you watching? It's got heavy Veronica Mars moments, and I believe I saw Calamity Jane (Deadwood) make a split second appearance as a lesbian. I am relying on my hours of couch time and general truthiness, and have not double checked anywhere for an official ruling on the sighting, though. It's a little self conscious, and the perfectly curvy woman, who drinks like a fish and eats like a linebacker, and is an brooding sexy mess is a version of Pixie. Link to post Share on other sites
Spademan 94 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Yeah, it's Jane. Jessica makes it to the airport in the last episode, saving the day. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't think pigeon holing jessica into the MPDG mold is fair. The actress looks like one, but the character doesn't really fit that mold. I think she's more like a gender inversion of the typical male noir Private Investigator, with really deep psycho-sexual scars. She's not going to be transforming any male protagonists lives with her spirit and quirkiness. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Full Disclosure, I think Alias is one of the very best comics marvel ever put out. It was dark and interesting and the characters more fully formed than basically anything in the marvel universe, and I've really been pleased with the episodes I've seen so far. I'm shocked that Marvel is making something this dark as part of it's MCU. Link to post Share on other sites
Spademan 94 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think she's more like a gender inversion of the typical male noir Private Investigator, with really deep psycho-sexual scars. Yeah. I think this was a really tough cast, because there are very few beautiful actresses who can pull this character off convincingly. This actress being too obvious "I'm so tough and DGAF, look, you can tell by my pouting" wasn't bad enough that I didn't finish the series, but I did cringe from time to time. Not like they were going to get one of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo actresses or something, so got to take what you can get. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Yeah, the actress the picked I adore from Breaking bad, and I love that sort of gothy look, but I envisioned Jessica Jones as more.. I don't know, basic? I think The wife who got cheated on in The Affair would have been perfect for it, 20 years ago. That's how I envisioned jones. But, from what I've seen so far, this actress has been a pleasant surprise. I like the juxtaposition of her seeming frailty with her incredible strength. And the sex scenes are super hot.

Spademan 94 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Oh, btw, the airport thing is something I always do when people ask for no spoilers. I say "he/she/they make it to the airport in time at the end". I don't remember where I got it from. Some stupid movie I think. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm not much of a Marvel/comics person it its on the list to watch We just started The Man in the High Castle last night. Only ep 1 but I liked it. Not sure what to think about where it's headed, the but the concept is smart. Wish I had read the book. Not gonna now. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I watched the first ep and the ending really sucked me in. Didn't see that coming Link to post Share on other sites
frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I just finished and really enjoyed all of it. It's sexy and smart. Men are only in a supporting role, the women are the protagonists of the story. There's a great, unblinking judgement towards violence and rape. For a super violent show, the neck twisting of Kilgrave made me gasp. David Tennant was a great villain. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just finished ep 8. Really enjoying it. Will read that spoiler tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I just finished it today as well! Would have been a lot tighter as a 10 episode season with less of the terrible non-Jess/Luke/Kilgrave characters. The female twin getting her own scenes was a bad decision. I think I liked Daredevil slightly more, but mostly just because I really liked those fight scenes. The throw-in of the Daredevil character was a nice touch in the really well done JJ finale. Also really looking forward to Luke's show. Link to post Share on other sites
