You forgot the part where the bad guy says "We're not so different, you and I."

Isn't that whole thing with Superheroes though? Is that need to try and save lives without taking lives? I mean, I'm sure that has been brought up in numerous Superman, Batman, ect comics.
If you kill 1 villain, where does it end? Killing one person could open flood gates that gets countless people killed by the hero because they think they're "Saving lives"
Great series. Different feel from DD for me and was quite enjoyable. Also, one thing I feel this series did very well that we don't see in other MCU movie films is show what happens to normal people caught in the middle of these battles.

Oh I totally get that it's to be expected (couldn't have a show without.. well no more than a few episodes). Something about this one really bugged me though (loved the show on the whole). Realistically how did she expect it to play out? He confesses and then what? He can't be taken to court. Certainly couldn't be allowed to testify (as soon as he speaks people would start dying again), or that he could be contained in any prison they had. I'm thinking about it too much. I liked the show can't wait for the next.
That was Nuke's whole point when he was

And that's sorta one of the interleaving themes others have brought up. Yes Avengers happened, yes aliens, yes New York, but at the same time everyone still needs to live their daily lives the same as before. People put that shit in the "that cant happen to me / here / anyone I know" category real fast and went back to their lives. This is - assumed to be - true for these "gifted" people who are still figuring their shit out.
To me, the whole point was that she was never supposed to have the right answer, or be able to figure one out. She was a random orphaned kid brought up tangential to stardom with some totally average education and life. Given that it was everything she could do to just keep her head about her (due to psychological manipulation, threat against family/friends/whatever) a "figure it out as we go" approach made sense. For as long as humanly possible she acted to the best of what she believed to be the right way to do things, and that as long as she did that everything would work out.
It didn't. People died. People were hurt. Her sense of right and wrong was kicked in the balls. She realized her way of thinking was naive.
Character development and shit.
I'm usually pretty lenient on 'illogical' plans, butSpoiler: show
Ok it's sounding like time to avoid this thread until I finish
I think keeping him alive to testify was reasonable - early on. When they had him in the van the first time and she punches him it's like nah...you motherfucking pulverize his jaw bone into fine-grain sand. His ass can write or type his testimony. If Stephen Hawking can do it, he sure as fuck can.
But yeah, I don't disagree. I'm just so used to comic logic that I tend to give that shit a pass.

Nobody has complained about that though. Mainly about like minor ancillary decisions made in heat of the moment that backfired.

I think heat of the moment decisions do much more to show the true nature of a character, even if they're poor decisions, so they don't really bother me. The problem with that plan wasSpoiler: show
Thinking about this if the person doesn't speak his language then his commands don't work right?
The problem isn't containing him. You can gag him or otherwise disable his speech. Plus if NY has the death penalty, you can be sure it won't be long for him. You can easily put him on trial through cctv, or let him communicate some other way with his voice disabled.
The issue would be getting evidence to convince a jury to convict him or acquit Hope. Trish makes the point in her show that in a post Avengers world, mind control isn't so far fetched. But then Trinity/Jeri also points out how Kilgrave has become the #1 used excuse to get out of crime. People aren't going to just take it for granted. They will want proof Kilgrave in particular has that power, then you'll need to connect it to the person pleading out. Tons of corroborating witnesses that claim to have been mind controlled wouldn't be enough in court.
So Jessica tried numerous times to record a confession and it didn't work. They can't use a confession under duress if they trap him. So they needed evidence of his power. Then throw in some evidence about how he got his power, or some CREDIBLE witnesses who have seen or been controlled. Then connect Hope to Kilgrave (pretty easy -- witnesses at the restaurant where he took her for instance). Then you have reasonable doubt.
They should have had Murdock stroll in to represent her instead of Trinity.
But supposedly Jessica Jones and Daredevil share an exact timeline (right before Avengers 2) so presumably he was busy.
They were smart not to include Murdock, especially not in costume. If he shows up to help this time, the audience will just ask why he doesn't next time and then suddenly Jessica isn't her own hero anymore. If he never shows up, eventually people will just accept that he's not going to come save the day. That shit might not fly after the cross-over miniseries but that's a ways off still.
Speaking of the other series, I'm interested in learning more about Iron Fist. Can anybody recommend some highlight arcs/runs/GNs for him and maybe some Heroes For Hire stuff?
Also, heard good things about Iron Fist: Living Weapon: http://www.comicvine.com/iron-fist-t...on/4050-72933/
What's the deal on spoilers for these binge shows....

Some Easter eggs would have been fun; Murdock on the court room steps, Fisk picking up a gift for Vanessa, bumping into Froggy at a cart to spill coffee to have Jessica sneer and keep waking. Would all require borrowing the actors, or foresight/cgi though.
