I kinda feel like after all the Hydra stuff AND all the Hive stuff, May would be the first to tell Coulson "Hey that box that drove everyone insane may have affected me and I'm seeing weird poo poo now". If they drag out her not telling anyone it's going to be really stupid.

I'm pretty far behind on this show, just a few episodes into season 3. Do they ever stop doing "character goes through traumatic experience, doesn't want to talk about it" plots?

She may have thought it affected him and didn't want to give it away.

No, but I think this show handles it a lot better than most other shows. Most shows would have people reunite and be happy by the end of the episode. This show tends to let things organically heal, and even then, sometimes (but not often) old wounds can come up again.

Nothing will ever trump the stupidity of the episode of Jessica Jones where she spends 2/3rds of the episode shouting "I need to be put in SuperMax!".

Then Killgrave turns up, and the episode is loving saved.

That makes sense and sadly reinforces my fear that Simmons is the one who is gonna die and get LMD replaced.

Yes. The precinct scene from that episode is *so loving good* it redeems anything they had to do to set it up.

It's easily the most horrifying villain scene Marvel has ever pulled off.

Fitting, because Kilgrave is easily the most horrifying Marvel villain overall. That show was hard to watch sometimes.

Same thing happened to me when I watched Season 2 of Daredevil. I had just been physically assaulted and my life threatened a couple weeks before and it was triggering some things with me when the Punisher was going through his PTSD scenes.

I couldn't marathon it like I could with Daredevil because of that. I'd also usually follow it up by looking at a comic panel of Luke Cage headbutting Kilgrave so hard that he caved his face in.

As much as I loved Jessica Jones, I really doubt I will be able to watch it more than once. Yeah, there were a couple pretty obvious flaws, but they weren't big enough to keep me from really enjoying it. I just don't want to feel the way that show made me feel. There were so many truly horrific images and situations, and I found them emotionally exhausting. But that's also why I love the show; it achieved exactly what it set out to do.

Anyways, season 4 is starting off well. I too was slightly worried about ghost rider, but nah. A season of Coulson and Mac: Buddy Cops would be enough to keep me around, but Fitz and Radcliffe:
Ethically Dubious Super Scientists and May and Simmons: Frenemies all have a lot of potential.

But that's in additive colour mixing, while "orange encompasses red and yellow" is subtractive. Ruins the whole elegance of the system. Really he'd have to be black, or rainbow.

That was a badass opening episode for the season! I'd argue this is better than anything we got in the third season. I had just finished the first volume of the All-New Ghost Rider graphic novel and caught all of the references - so cool!!

Opening the show with Daisy's rear end and the sick rocket launcher sequence straight out of the comics was the best. Cannot wait for the next episode! I hope they go more into Robbie's backstory more, I wonder if he'll be in the same situation as in the comics and be possessed by Eli (the serial killer ghost who has ties to his parents) or by the spirit of vengeance. I'm hoping for the former so there's room for Johnny a mass eventually!

Also, holy moly, Aida was pretty creepy

I really appreciate that in the first episode of season 4 they immediately visually established that Daisy has gone rogue and is working on her own by slathering on the eye makeup with a trowel.

The audience can just look at all that eyeshadow and instinctively know, "ooh, she's not in a good place"
