5 Things To Know Before Watching Jessica Jones Season Two
Neflix

The sophomore season of Netflix/MCU series Jessica Jones is set to drop Thursday, March 8th on the streaming platform. Season one debuted in Fall 2015, so it’s been a while. If you can’t be bothered to rewatch season one, here’s what you need to know before delving into the new episodes:


1. Kilgrave’s Dead

David Tennant gave a masterful (albeit creepy) performance as Kilgrave—Jessica’s criminally persuasive ex-captor and the main antagonist of season one. He gave us all a good fright, yes. However, he’s dead now. Pictures taken from the set of season two suggest we will see Kilgrave again, although probably only in Jessica’s psyche. (Which brings me to my next point…)


2. Jessica Jones is a survivor.

Krysten Ritter did a splendid job of portraying Jessica as a rattled-and-repressed, semi-alcoholic (it does take more for her to actually get drunk), sexual assault survivor. Season one didn’t shy away from the fact that Kilgrave’s particular power erases the option of consent and, thus, any sexual relations Jessica had with him were rape. The psychological and emotional trauma of Jessica’s time with Kilgrave are sure to flare up in season two.


3. Are Jessica and Luke still a thing? Who knows.

Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are a staple of the Marvel comics. In fact, the two are married with a child in the comics. However, in the MCU, things are a bit more complicated. Mike Colter’s Luke Cage is currently dating Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple (and they are cute as cute can be). Jessica last saw Luke in The Defenders (2017), where they worked together to defeat The Hand. There was more than a smidgen of camaraderie and sexual tension then, so keep your eyes peeled during season two of JJ.


4. Speaking of ships… Could Jessica and Trish be a thing?

A significant portion of the Jessica Jones fandom is keeping their fingers crossed for an unlikely romance between Jessica, and her best friend, Trish Walker. While there have been signs there could be more than friendship between these two (ex. a particular conversation between Trish and Karen Page in The Defenders), Trish isJessica’s adopted sister. That said—you never know.


5. Jessica knows about Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage

If you haven’t been keeping with with the Netflix MCU, you might not be aware that Jessica has thrown down with some of New York’s other superheroes. Although it’s not canon: she probably has Matt’s phone number. She definitely has Luke’s. And Jessica probably wouldn’t be apposed to showing up at Rand Industries for a favor. Hopefully season two will give us a glimpse of Jessica interacting with some of the other powerful people in her city.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
