She was working as a barista.

The entirety of season 1 is worth it just for the return of Vandal Savage.  That wouldn’t hit nearly as hard without a season’s worth of nonsense beforehand.

There have been a lot of incredible moments on Legends, with them summoning a massive Beebo avatar Captain Planet-style to fight a time demon, but the most meta thing the show ever did was:

Going back in time to when Lord of the Rings was filming to recruit John Noble so that he could record lines pretending to be a…

That’s exactly what I thought, that the line was yet another nod to AV Club!!

Because they have done something similar in the past, I believe Zari and Ava’s group of out-there suspects, such as time pirates, doppelgangers, clones and time itself were an ode to Allison’s regular “Why the fuck not?” stray observation.

I am choosing to believe the Why the Hell Not? pile of whiskey bottles was a nod to the old WTFN segments in the recaps.

She doesn’t want to go back, she said that if she did, they would take her baby and send her to the colonies or make her a handmaid. She knows she has no future there. She wants to have her baby, write her book and go back to the life of adoring fans and trolling the heathen libs that she had before she got exactly…

They may work horribly for women and non-citizens, Frequent Wire — but they work just fine for the Male Ruling Oligarchy and male subjects who reap the benefits of Masculinist Rule, or else they wouldn’t last for decades (I won’t go so far as to say “centuries” because...Western Imperialism!).

Yeah, I get that Hannah has to stay in Gilead or the show ends, but can we *at least* have a scene where June asks for Hannah’s return in addition to the 22 prisoners, and gets turned down? I drove me nuts that this wasn’t addressed. . .

Did season 4 give the viewers ENORMOUSLY wonderful payoffs after slugging it out through three long seasons? Yes, it did.

Joseph Lawrence is pretty much a double agent at the highest levels, now

It’s the rare show that works much better one hour per week. Way too intense to binge. I definitely couldn’t fault anyone for being put off by the grimness. For me the rebels win enough victories to keep me going. And everyone once in a while you get to see a fascist torn to shreds or blown up, which is honestly the…

I don’t think Serena ever had any intention of returning to Gilead with Fred - their plan was to go be free so she could whip the people up into a frenzy. Serena is like a lot of people - she preaches certain dictates and then gets mad when she realizes that she spun a golden web around herself. She has no intention…

I am SO glad that Waterford is dead. His whole character in the past two seasons has been a stupid dumb pawn in someone else’s game. At least now we can get a story that moves past season 1.

Have you even watched a single minute of this show? Or even so much as looked at the book? The men aren’t being held captive in this society, the women are because fertility rates were dropping and the male religious fundamentalists that control the country panicked so they created this society where they’ve enslaved…

This is like, the most hacky 1980s standup comic kind of observation— men are ONLY horny and women want to trap them with kids and marriage?

Claiming all men and all women have one single “natural inclination” shows you are unfit to analyze this show...and your backwards ass likely wishes Gilead was real and that you lived there. Go away, ugh.

Even though this made, as you stated, so very little sense, it did kick ass and was incredibly cathartic. Though the entire time they were ripping Fred to shreds all I could think is “how are these woods not more well guarded on both sides?” And also wondering whether I would get that physically close to a place that…

This is . . . wow. You must love you some evopsych bullshit.

Gilead doesn’t not work because of “natural inclinations” (LOL) , it doesn’t work because they appear to have abandoned technological capitalism  entirely and replaced it with role play feudalism. There’s nothing to offer even the higher ranking people in Gilead; does nobody miss fast food, baseball games, sweatpants?…
