Jessica Jones offers up some origin story flashbacks in episode 11.

Here are James' viewing notes on AKA I’ve Got The Blues… Flashbacks show us the origin of Jessicas powers, and how she came to live with Trish Patsy Walker.

In the present, Jessica helps the support group get their lies straight with the police.

Were back in familiar environs and pursuing leads like a proper detective investigation.

Once your sidekick has beaten a villain, theres no point bringing him back for the big guys.

The flashbacks also seemed pretty weak, in general.

Points for a near-exact translation of Jessica Jones origin, though.

Instead its like the writing was just more naturally quippy than in previous episodes.

It feels like a straightforward story is being told again, and Im happy about that.

Fingers crossed he doesnt get the chance.
