His power 'doesn't work' over the phone just because you need to be infected first. If you are already, he can still control you. ( See hospital at start ). Making him stronger just made the infection last longer and spread better so phone or tv was more practical

Why's that?
I honestly don't know where they go from here since anything after Kilgrave will be a letdown, but a lot of shows are at their best under that format.

I think it had to do with the range increase thing. They increased his range to 100 yards but he can't give orders to everyone in that range, thus the tv/radio/etc.

He says he's at 100 yards by that point. He wouldn't have had to walk through the hospital, it's all open air, they'd all be infected, he would just have to find a way to get the command to all of them. Thus the tv.

pretty sure hospitals have hepa filters which are like 99.999% vs viruses so yeah. it makes even less sense for the virus to spread at all or even that quickly through the air/circulation of a hospital vs anywhere else, like a mall or stadium or whatnot. it was dumb whatever who cares.

Come on, people. Complaining that a super villains super powers aren't scientifically sound is pretty silly.

IGH is up next. They've been making superhumans for a while now on the down low. Whether it's Luke Cage, Defenders, or the next seasons of DD and Jessica Jones that group will be either backing or be the big bad.

The only way it plays into the plot is when he talks about developing a vaccine, but then it's never mentioned again. I'm guessing they planned on making it a big part of the plot and then changed their mind afterwards.

Supposedly, you have Luke Cage, then Ironfist, then the Defenders ensemble season. Depending on delays for Ironfist, I suppose you may have a 2nd season of DD before...
Show was okay but it really seemed to drag on rather pointlessly quite quickly.
I'd be more interested in a Punisher show so I'm looking forward to season 2 of Daredevil.
I couldn't give less of a shit about what the critics are saying, this isn't the best superhero show ever. Flash season one was better.

In both this show and Daredevil, every time the NY skyline was shown I kept expecting to be given a glimpse of Avengers tower like in Age of Ultron, but as far as I could tell, we never got it.
I think the reason Jessica worked so hard to try to prove that Hope wasn't responsible for her actions while under Kilgrave's control was because it would help Jessica herself to feel like she wasn't responsible for her actions while under his control too.

I'm guessing that's more of a Defenders thing. Her going up against anew organization that creates superhumans doesn't fit very well with the show.
She's not a one man army type of superhero.

I don't quite get why they did not go with his powers being pheromone based. You gain about the same ways of stopping it the virus angle gives with less weirdness like how it spread in a hospital that quickly.
