I tripped and signed up for multifandomdrabble, because of course I did. At least I know I only have to write 100 words. Signups are open 'til June 15.

This Friday, the third season of Jessica Jones drops on Netflix - the last of any of the Netflix Marvel shows, SOB. I'm thinking about running a Defendersverse commentfic fest this week to celebrate - does that sound fun? :D

.... now up to 1x11.

( Spoilers )

Instead of watching TV like normal people, we didn't watch anything for a month and then marathoned a ton of it tonight.

We finished watching Dark Matter, and I was really happy with it. Non-spoilerishly, I will say that I felt the resolution to the season's main mystery was handled much better than I was expecting; it was a plausible solution to the clues we were given, without being terribly obvious. (I did actually figure it out before the reveal, but less than half the final episode beforehand.) There were definitely a few WTF things this season, but overall I thought that it was a nice solid debut season and I'm really delighted there's going to be another one.

Somewhat more spoilerishly, ( but only very vague spoilers )

And we watched the first few episodes of Jessica Jones, which I completely love. It is very dark (SO DARK), but in a hopeful, rising-above-the-pain kind of way, more than a grimdark kind of way. I'm really happy with the characters' transitions to the screen, and pleasantly surprised that Luke is a major character. I was expecting occasional appearances, more like Claire in Daredevil, rather than having him as one of the main set of characters from the beginning. Not that I am complaining! Also, aside from Luke, nearly the entire cast is female, including what I'm pretty sure is the first canonically queer couple in the MCU. There is very little crossover with the other Marvel shows/movies, even with Daredevil, so if you aren't familiar with the universe and want to watch this on its own, it stands alone just fine. (So far, anyway.)
