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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
