Caltrops - The Netflix Instant Forum





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Mysterio Investigations"]Ended up being better than what <i>Alias</i> did for most of its run. [/quote] Alias the comic book Alias? (It blows that there is another TV show called Alias, someone should have prevented that, Dent in the mud style, so I could have a marginally easier discussion in 2015.) I like that we can all assume that all of us read the comic when it came out. I love the idea of a good writer telling a comic book company, hey, I got an idea for a 50 issue book or something, stay out of my way and let me do it. [quote]Possibly stretched out two, three episodes too long. [/quote] Yes! The crazy redheaded sister was a go-nowhere character that went nowhere. Kudos to the actress, but man that character was shit. I forget what episode, but towards the end she was on a dock with Malcolm and I'm thinking are they really doing this? They haven't given us a reason to care about this person. I don't care for her! This is time we could be seeing David Tennant doing Tennant things! [quote]Something that might have been fixed by having <s>Purple Man</s> Killgrave as a build up in the background while other cases were in progress... that PI front really was cursory to just give way to Hero v Villain. Could live without ORIGIN STORY, so thankfully that was kept short. Not sure how they'll follow up as most of the source material's been mined now. Unless the stories get rewritten to involve Daredevil, or another non-film non-mutant that fits?[/quote] I was really hoping they weren't going to kill Killgrave, but of course they did. It's like when they killed the Joker in the 1990 Batman movie. WELP, no more movies with the Joker! Ha ha, yep, killed him dead! I know better than the guys who write comics! Not that comic books have room to talk when it comes to <a href="http://dwainsmith.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/UX095-02.jpg">characters perishing in explosions and walking away unharmed</a>* but it was very weak bit in what I thought was, overall, a great show. Since I've been reading about JJ now that I've watched it, I love all the people that can't wait to bash humanity if anyone expressed the slightest sentiment that Killgrave was sympathetic in the slightest. They cast the world's most charismatic man to play him. My TV Watching Partner had never seen him in anything before JJ and when we decided what show to maybe watch next Netflix had something called Broadsides or whatever up. Whatever the show Tennant is on now is called. And she was like, hmmmmm, that might work. David Tennant could steal my girlfriend away and he didn't need a purple virus to do it, but that's okay, he's going to be the gateway into making her watch an episode of Doctor Who. Ha! Ha ha! I am enjoying this conversation, thank you for your thoughts and I'd like to hear more from you not only about this show but Daredevil. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! I do like that the only person involved in that exchange with the jet who (eventually) actually stayed dead and wasn't flopping around in comics was Banshee.[/quote]
