Just smile for Kilgrave and everything will be OK



We’re finding it hard to Smile this week as we reach the end of our coverage of the latest and possibly best Marvel and Netflix TV show. Join us for our Jessica Jones 113 Review of AKA Smile our discussion all about the finale of the Marvel TV show. This time we discuss whether Jessica can fly, how Claire Temple plays in her second Netflix appearance and the final showdown between Jessica Jones and Kevin Kilgrave. We’ve loved covering this series since the 20th of November 2015 and we’re delighted that it ended on a high.



Synopsis for Jessica Jones 113 Review – “AKA Smile”



After her shot to his head, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter) get some unexpected help at the hospital from someone else in Jessica’s neighborhood who is intimately acquainted with gifted heroes. As she looks after an injured Luke, Jessica and Trish (Rachael Taylor) track down Kilgrave (David Tennant). However, unknown to Jessica, Kilgrave has augmented his mind control to a powerful new threshold…and this time he is willing to use them to deadly effect against her. With Kilgrave tracked and cornered at the harbour he uses his enhanced powers to control larger crowds and seemingly Jessica. As she appears to accept that she is under Kilgrave’s command he exerts his powers over Jessica choosing to punish her by controlling Trish and giving him hope that she loves him. As the question remains about her immunity from his influence, out of the blue (or is that purple) Kilgrave’s hopes for him and Jessica are snapped away from him!! As Kilgrave’s influence recedes from New York, word of Jessica’s heroics permeate through the city as her phone starts to buzz with calls asking for her help.
