I'd like to watch it again with my husband to see if it will help him understand me better
That worked very, very well for my husbear and me!
One of my favorite moments in the show was in Episode 3, when Trish asked Jessica "I hate this feeling. How do you handle this?" and Jessica responded "It's called whiskey."
Their first meeting was a very difficult thing to see, for me. It was very familiar. They were basicaly estranged, and Trish did neither understand nor accept Jessica's avoidant behavior. Trish thought Jessica weak and insane. It's only when Trish understands the world that Jessica is living in, that their dynamic changes. Only when she took a short step into Jessica's f*cked up world, could she see that Jessica was neither weak and nor insane. Kilgrave only called Trish on her radio show. It was just the smallest of contacts and she didn't even experience his powers, but that small insight into Jessica's own private hell gave her back the respect for her sister that has been dormant.
At the end of the episode, shortly after this moment, Jessica saves Trish's life and their friendship is one of trust and respect again.
This is similiar to the lawyer, that never stopped belittling Jessica. The lawyer was extremely high functioning and thought Jessica just some lazy asshole slacker, making excuses. I guess everybody on this forum met a Jerry Hogarth. That person, that tries to make one believe one is just making excuses and being childish and lazy.
Anyway, talking about this show with my partner felt a bit like Trish learning about Kilgrave's influence. He is reacting differently to me, and is asking questions about PTSD, which he never really did.
By the way, does anyone know what the deal was with Ruben's sister? Forget her name. The insane and shrill one. She confused me, I did not understand a thing about her. Probably because I never met a person like her.
OMG I hope I am not that person. I also throw fits about raw chicken and salmonellas! :wacky: One scene she appears a abusive narcissist, another suprisingly kind and insightfull, and then just awfull again. Very wierd person. Some time I pity her, because she must have seen some shit to end up like this, and then I think, nah, just a awfull person.
