First Impressions - Jessica Jones: "AKA 1,000 Cuts"

I know s#!t about this character.
Everything I do know came from blogs and YouTube.
You've been warned...

Episode 10: "AKA 1,000 Cuts"

The Good:
Best way out of Kilgrave's control. Ever.


The Bad:
This whole show seems to be based on people making bad decisions. Don't believe me?


The WTF?:
 Why did she have to die?
So Jessica could take out Kilgrave? Because she was afraid Jessica wouldn't take out Kilgrave? Because she didn't think Jessica could save all those people and her?
 What's Hogarth's problem?
Kilgrave told her to go to someone she trusts, not someone she loves. That's a significant difference that Jeri shouldn't be ashamed of. But no...she just keept quiet until Wendy started stabbing her. Then Pam comes in, and tries to stop Wendy the only way she can...and accidentally kills her. And she's in trouble for stopping someone from killing her fiancee?

 Then there's this f**king mess.
First of all, if that police station was meant to be the same one from Daredevil, it should have looked more like the one from Daredevil. Second, if this detective was meant to be the same one from Daredevil, then that should have been made more clear too. But all of that's moot because Nuke killed him. What the hell for man? 
I knew going in that the cure/protection potion wouldn't work, but couldn't it have worked a little - like for a second or two? And why did he smile at Jessica as he started moving forward? Was he happy it didn't work? Was he just saying "oops", or "oh well"? And don't even get me started on those idiots who thought they could beat up Kilgrave. That's just dumb.


Adorkification Moment:
Colby Minifie, who plays Robyn, reminds me of Martha Plimpton from The Goonies. I know she's not the same person, and they're not related (at least I don't think so), but yeah - I kept waiting for her to say "Martin Sheen, that's John F. Kennedy you idiot!"
