I watched the entire show from start to finish in one day, from 7 AM to 7 PM.

I also agree that the shows messages are very broad as far as subjects go, it encourages Applicability.

Finally, I too confused Pam for Trisha at certain points in the show due to how similar the actresses looked to me.

Eh, it wasn't too hard for me. Pam was only shown in relation to Jeri.

I did think, just from watching the trailer, that Trish was Hope in that scene where she tried to shoot herself.

I don't see how one can confuse Pam with anyone else...mostly because I never really paid attention to her face in the first place. It wasn't exactly her most remarkable asset. None of the other woman in the show dress like her.

I paid attention to her face, if only because I thought she looked a little like Emma Watson.

I was supposed to pay attention to how she dressed?

I am with Mousa. I never noticed anything different in Pam's clothes. Then again, I have a very bad eye for clothes. I usually just never pay attention to what people are wearing.

There actually wasn't much different in her clothes...she always wore the same cut with another pattern on it. Which is exactly why I kept noticing it, because the outfit showed a lot of skin for an layers office.

[up]I mean different compared to other characters. Never noticed Pam's clothes were more revealing than Jeri's.

That said, I never confused Pam and Trish.

Pam in-universe is basically young eye candy for Jeri.

Jeri, was it your idea to have your secretary dress like that?

Because that's kind of creepy, Jeri.

Jeri being creepy and manipulative? Gasp, perish the thought. It's almost like she was some kind of monster. Almost as bad as Kilgrave since she was so keen on using him for whatever she wanted.

I doubt workplace appropriateness even begins to matter to her unless it might ruin her career in some way.

[up] ...Yeaaah, come to think of it, mind-controlling someone into signing divorce papers is pretty damn disturbing. Not to mention probably illegal.

(Speaking of which, Mousa, I don't mean to bother you, but do you have any thoughts on the PM that I sent you? I tried P Ming you again, but you haven't responded.)

Not to mention probably illegal.
It's not, but ironically, Jeri spends the entire series fighting for it to become so on Jessica's behalf.

Breaking laws doesn't really mean anything to her.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

I noticed the dress just fine, but I also saw Pam's face a lot, so that's were my confusions sometimes happened.

Jeri is definitely rather skeevy. She's interesting to watch but I wouldn't want to interact with her in real life.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Breaking laws doesn't really mean anything to her.
Yep, we knew that from when her wife revealed that she was guilty of jury tampering.

However, I do think that there's a difference between what Jeri did and what Kilgrave did. Jeri doesn't care about breaking laws, but on the whole, she tried not to actually hurt anyone (physically - emotionally, she did a lot of damage to her wife, but that was probably unintentional) and she cared about Pam. Kilgrave doesn't care about laws, but he also doesn't care about people either. People are things to him.

I believe most people in Kilgrave's shoes would end up feeling the same way.

[up][up]Did she really care about Pam? I think she cared more about the fact that a hot woman was admiring her and not about Pam as a person.

Yep, you can't develop regular morals and ethics when no one can discipline or keep you in line.

She seemed pretty devastated when Pam rejected her at the end. And it seemed like she was trying to turn over a new leaf after that when she defended Jessica and brought up the hundreds of witnesses and testimonies she could get from Kilgrave's victims (which she had previously been unwilling to use).

[up]I still think that was more about her loosing everything. She listed Pam along with the fact that her partners were trying to kick her out of the firm, which signalled to me that she is more down about loosing something she considered as "hers" than about Pam as a person. She was also more broken up about Pam facing murder charges than the fact that she brought her into a situation in which she was forced to take another life.
