Nevertheless, some interesting discoveries made and […]
Jessica Jones 2.10: “AKA Pork Chop” Episode 10 is where things start to get messy in Jessica Jones season 2- as if they weren’t messy enough already. Despite being in prison, Alisa had a pretty good thing going. She could still see Jessica, she had her own cell, she wasn’t being sent to The Raft. But then Mean Prison […]
Jessica Jones 2.07: “AKA I Want Your Cray Cray” After the explosive reveal of the last episode, the show takes a step back to explore Jessica Jones and Alisa’s histories.
