I don't really buy it, but it's better than most alternatives.

Clickhole is the Onion's parody of buzzfeed and upworthy, so no.

I wasn't that rocked, but I did want to mention that I watched Jessica Jones, and it was pretty good. Don't want to spoil anything at all, but acting/pacing/story were all for the most part not shit.

And only like, 2-3 times total would I say that people had to hold the idiot ball to move the plot forward. Lots of decent small twists that all felt totally earned by the show.

A very good grayish superhero show. You get the real sense of the characters as people, and see how their personal hangups are really at issue to them in their lives.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I wanted to see Kilgrave die horribly.

Spoilers for Jessica Jones through episode . . . let's just say 7.

I was surprised that I was sort of rooting for Kilgrave at one point, because I rarely root for psychopathic rapists, but I was sort of rooting for a happy ending at one point, you can probably guess if you've seen the show past what I am talking about.

Separate spoilers for the entire show:

Solutions to kilgrave that basically were never tried:
1) Loud noises.
2) Earbuds.
3) Find someone that doesn't speak english, explain to them that there is a mind controlling asshole they need to shoot in the face.
4) A Sniper Rifle.

There was at least some reason to not try 4 for a while, but even when it became an option, still nobody attempted it.

I love the fact that it's possible to have sex with, and marry, Fenway Park.

There is nothing not awesome about this.

I feel like this is a rejected script for a Saints Row DLC.

The thing I really like about Jessica Jones is that, while other superhero properties can be mined for deeper themes than simply "good guy punches bad", JJ is explicitly about exploring abusive relationships.

My personal twist on number 3 would have been a whole reinterpretation bit, like the one where Jessie had her sister put the bullet in her mouth instead of trying to jam it through her skull. Carry cameras and use them, instead of firearms, to shoot people. Abuse the lack of disambiguity between the present and future imperatives in English by listening to his commands for only a single second. Buy a bunch of crickets at the local petco, name them after all their friends and every conceivable pronoun, and release them in a field. "Kill her!" Kilgrave yells, prompting Luke to turn around and start running for Central Park. "What? No! Come back here!" he directs, whereupon Luke hurries back, ejaculates on his face, and uses the moment of bafflement to punch out his larynx. Fuck yeah.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't work like that. It isn't that you're compelled to obey against your will. It's that your will is altered so that you want to obey. For that to work, it would require more than just rules lawyering. It would require drastically and permanently altering your own thought processes to the point that the cure would almost certainly be worse than the disease.

Gotta say, I'd totally watch an action movie starring Psy.

There are so many scenes in that with random cuts and dancing and obscured necks, that I honestly don't know how much I was looking at Psy's actual body dancing, could be like 30% or 85%.

A line from Chelsea Peretti in Brooklyn 99:

"I've been taking an abnormal psychology class lately. Everyone in there is obsessed with me".

Laughed so hard scotch came out of my nose.

Doggone, I was gonna get it for my son for school... But it's not actually a backpack. Just a figure.

"A figure? Sign me up! Oh, cool , it's... OH GOD"

Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting from Kafka-related merchandise.
