Craig Sawyers 2,146 Report post Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Editing because it turns out Stewart lost his hair at age 19, but used to wear toupees in many acting roles (pre Star Trek) - which he might well have done in TTSS.

I've been listening to the audiobook in parallel and overall it makes more sense and is simply better. That said, I've been enjoying the heck out of the show too.

Dusty Chalk 5,693 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Finished Jessica Jones. Holy shit, best season of the whole franchise. For me, it just took off with episode 8 and didn't stop until the season was done. What a fucking ride. Fucking dark, too. This is not a feel-good...well, anything. I do want to try Tin Cup now, though. And can I just say? There was some damn fine acting. Trinity plays a damn fine lecherous lesbian. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muskyhuntr 24 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 I also finished Jessica Jones this week. Enjoyed it immensely! Definitely dark. It's hard to imagine anyone other than Krysten Ritter in the part. She has it nailed. Very interesting what they did with Carrie-Anne Moss' character. Me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpelg 217 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Binged "JJ" season 2 this past week as well. I love Ritter as the titular character & can't imagine anyone else playing her. The season itself is about 2.5 eps too long imo, as with all the other Netflix/Marvel series'. But still 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The story changes don't irritate me too much, given that it's been a LONG time since I read the books (when they were new). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
