Ahhh gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. In that case, I agree. Another reason to hate this change.
Iām late to the party but I hated this episode way more than the first. The Lincoln Tunnel change was inexcusable. The plot hole in the book re why they took the tunnel could easily have been filled by showing that the military tried to blow up the bridges like in I Am Legend.
Iām with you about hating the Lincoln Tunnel change. But what does that scene have to do with the fascist evil of the US government? Are you maybe thinking of when they blow up the bridges in I Am Legend? Because no real justification for taking the tunnel is offered in the book.
LMAO at these jamooks who think Detroit invented grandma pizza.
Probably the reverse actually. Iāll watch almost anything post-apocalyptic/zombie!

Heāll be better than Blake. I used to think of Zion as a poor-manās Blake Griffin. But if you look at the numbers, heās a far more efficient scorer and dominant defender than Blake was at the same age.

That is one of the dumbest fucking posts Iāve ever read on Kinja.
Hang on hang on hang on. La Taqueria does NOT have the best burritos in the city. Theyāre not even a real representation of the Mission style (no rice).

Iāve been very pleased with the Aukey Bluetooth transmitter. Itās low latency, meaning less lip synch lag with TVĀ as long as you use headphones with aptX.

Really? What are some other dystopian books that fall into this trap?
I think youāre right about the ā70s being the primary focus of ā90s nostalgia. But there was ā80s nostalgia too, especially among college kids who grew up on the music.
Who relied on what misrepresentation?
I think weāre saying much the same thing. I agree itās entirely plausible that such a repressive sectarian/sexist society could arise under the circumstances described in the book. I just donāt think it would look like Gilead (i.e., with a new name, new uniforms, new flag, etc.) and I definitely donāt think its centerā¦
That part is plausible but it still wouldnāt happen anything like the Handmaidās Tale depicts it. Right-wing Christian fundamentalists wouldnāt take control in Cambridge, MA, of all places. And if they did, they would keep the U.S. and its symbolism intact as much as they could to enhance their legitimacy. The farā¦
Thatās what it is. The U.S. doesnāt exist anymore as a result of environmental collapse and the nuking of DC. Gilead is basically just a section of the Northeast. Thatās (partly) why the capital is located in Cambridge, MA.
Same. From the spastic editing to Mulderās Blade Runner VO, just terrible.
Robotic suitcase that follows its owner. I see an episode where someone abandons the suitcase when he moves, and the suitcase undertakes an incredible journey to reunite with its owner ... only to be thrown out a second time when it does.
