The end of Jessica Jones’ first season is almost here. Episode 12 is “AKA Take A Bloody Number,” and shows events building to a head. Several parts of the series that have been separate so far collide in this episode, at times violently. The writers do a great job of balancing the various superpowers with very human reactions.
Jessica Jones starts building towards the finale with episode eleven out of thirteen, “AKA I’ve Got The Blues.” They cut back and forth between the present time and the early days of Jessica being taken in by the Walkers. From the hints we’ve had about Mrs. Walker, it’s no surprise that it wasn’t an idyllic time.
“AKA 10,000 Cuts” is the tenth episode of Jessica Jones’ Netflix series, and it is one of the most tension-filled, violent, and hard on the cast shows they’ve done yet. A lot of things go badly here, and very little of it is Jessica’s fault, although I have no doubt she’ll blame herself. That’s what she does.
Jessica Jones’ ninth episode is “AKA Sin Bin.” It starts off well for the good guys, but you know that won’t last. The way things go wrong is an interesting study in itself, but that’s getting ahead of things.
I recently realized how far behind I was posting some Netflix reviews. I’m going to get caught up before Cage premiers.
Episode six of Jessica Jones, “AKA You’re A Winner!” starts off with another Kilgrave scene. His casual, thoughtless evil is really chilling. He uses his powers to win a high stakes poker game, and then deals with the player who gives him attitude about it in an offhand but vicious way.
“AKA The Sandwich Saved Me,” is episode five of Jessica Jones. The beginning shows some of Jessica’s earlier attempts to make a living. She’s a good private investigator, but before that she was bad at a lot of things. She had an interesting approach to office work, among her other jobs. Her stint as a restaurant mascot gives the episode its title. Jessica also doesn’t do well on the bar scene. We also see a night out with her and Trish, and it goes about as badly as you’d think when someone hits on them.
The fourth episode of Jessica Jones is called “99 Friends.” Like all the episode titles, this one will make sense by the end of the show. Jessica starts off at the subway, a picture clenched in her hands. After finding out last episode that Kilgrave had someone spying on her, she is both kind of freaked out and trying to find out who’s doing it. The one thing she’s relieved about is that there are no pictures of Luke, so he should be safe.
Jessica Jones’ third episode is “AKA It’s Called Whiskey.” It seems fitting enough considering her drinking habits. Jessica takes the trope of hard-drinking PI to a fairly extreme level but, considering what she’s been through, it makes sense.
“Crush Syndrome,” the second part of Jessica Jones, starts off very soon after the first episode, in a very dark and grim place. She’s in a police interview room with Detective Clemmons. Clemmons is suspicious of her, and also starts asking a lot of questions about Luke Cage. Jessica is not happy that the NYPD was in her office without a warrant, but he points out that her office is part of the crime scene, so no warrant was needed.
