She wrote for dexter, the twilight movies and a failed show from last year "Red Widow". Not the most impressive resume. She was attached as the writer for Alias when they were developing it for ABC and ABC passed. I'm hoping it's because they could not find a way to make it work with the style of he network, but it didn't even get a pilot so...
Wouldn't think terribly of them if they did something that was aimed a little more at female viewers. Sounds like she might be. And this might be the right one of the series to do that with.

Sounds like a pretty impressive resume to me.
Dexter is very well-written. Twilight is very successful. And most new series fail.
Also sounds like Marvel liked her treatment, despite the network's passing.

I would highly dispute the quality of Dexter's writing, and while twilight was successful, the quality of the writing (though from what has been told to me the source material left little to work with) is almost laughable, and has more to do with the ferverent and considerable fanbase of teenage girls. Red Widow was also unwatchable.
That said, you're absolutely right, Marvel seems confident in her take even if ABC didn't and ABC hasn't had a great track record as of late (including the aforementioned Red Widow). I loved the book and I'll watch the show.
But I'm not a fan of Ms Rosenberg's work up til now, and I've seen more than enough to think expect that Jessica Jones is going to change my mind or the minds of others who think that she's not that great a writer.

I will contend that there is a substantial difference between writing things you don't like and not writing well.
I didn't like them because I didn't think they were written well. It's been my chief complaint about her work. The subjects clearly had some appeal to me.

Twilight interested you?
You're brave to say so in this environment!
I thought she did an amazing job with Birds of Prey considering all the limitations she was saddled with.
Speaking of saddles, I thought The Magnificent Seven was a lot of fun, with good stories and well-drawn characters.

I'd rather slam my head in between a sliding door then watch or read Twilight!

I listened to the first one on the "it's actually pretty good" recommendation of a friend of mine with similar interests. I kept going on to listen to the next one on his "the second one is actually a lot better" recommendation. I don't take any more recommendations from him now.
And I've watched some of the movies with my wife, they are just as good as the books are.....

Ha! Twilight was my wife's pick and her happiness interests me. I was more referring to her other projects. And I forgot about BoP, which I feel only adds to the strikes against her.

Since my wife made me see Freedom Writers, I told her I can't go to any movie I find mindnumbingly bad. If she wants to rent the DVD, I can at least read while I sit next to her watching the movie.
It's my understanding that the Twilight readers were pleased with the Twilight movies.
That implies the screenwriter did a good job adapting the one form to another.
The fact that she was re-hired to adapt all of those big money, high-profile films also implies that she did a good job.
She has been successful, but that has never been the hallmark of quality. When all is said and done, I think that she is a bad writer and her inclusion on Jessica Jones worries me and lessens my excitement for the project. Her writing is completely devoid of subtlety, and is broad and cliched. And worst of all, its boring.
There are writers who's projects generally don't interest me but I at least can recognize their talent, like Joss Whedon or Shawn Ryan. And there are writers like Ryan Murphy, who are terrible for all the same reasons I think Melissa Rosenberg is terrible, but who make up for it by never being boring.
I read the first 6 issues of Alias in one sitting last night (I'd only ever read the first issue before!) and the entire time I was thinking that Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black (and, lately, Parks and Recreation) would be the perfect Jessica Jones.

Totally didn't realize that was her in Parks and Rec! Not sure I agree though, I always felt like Jessica Jones has to be played by someone who is a convincing wreck, even when they clean up nice. Linda Hamilton would have been perfect 25 years ago. But they'll probably go with someone like Evangeline Lilly.
