I didn’t catch that. I’ll have to re-watch. Still, the black commander is interesting.

I thought it extremely interesting that we now have a black commander, and he’s not getting a wife.  How does that happen?

Might as well.  They can’t afford to hire editors, either.

Te actors are incredible, but the material is weak for me. It’s monotonous, and the characters all run together: evil or victimized.  It worked in the first season, but the second season is getting old for me. 

I actually didn’t see anything new in this episode that I haven’t seen a hundred times before. I didn’t understand the warning unless it was a form of hype. Maybe it was the “secret sauce” combination of rape, violent rape, and “child abduction,” although this entire society is built on rape and child abduction. 

Wow! Okay, that was an over-the-top response. I would say the writers of the show are “fucking delusional” and lack compassion.  I don’t know what your problem is. 

Nobody would dare call you racist.  Would they?

I’m a father myself. I have a daughter and I would tell her to fight. I would tell my wife to fight. I would tell anyone who meant anything to me (and a few who don’t) to fight. To always fight. Putting up with this nonsense instead of fighting back is what led to Gilead. We don’t know anything of June as a true

Tell me about it. There are comments from a month ago that haven’t been approved, and they weren’t particularly inflammatory.

I have no standard of “believability” (whatever that is) when it comes to any member of the Press. They’re all ridiculous liars. All of them.

This “enjoy life” shit really irritated me. I would’ve whispered to her, “Do you know where they keep the knives? Okay, I want you to get up in the middle of the night, grab a knife and start stabbing people and then run like hell, maybe get that nice lady to help you? Stab as many people as you can. You have Mommy’s

I made a comment earlier that I’m not invested in the show for the torture. I’m in it to win it. I want to see resistance, violent resistance.

Absolutely freaking agreed!

June is complicit. June is a collaborator. Any “handmaid” knowingly engaging (i.e. allowing themselves to become wet nurses for the State, or the Republic) in the approved activities of the fake-Republic, staring at the floor, navel-gazing to avoid meeting the eyes of their brutal overlords (I don’t care how much she

I agree, but it goes to show wealthy people don’t give a shit about most other people. They pretend to care.

Your description of “decent” people amuses and alarms me at the same time. I care, but there’s not much I can do about it. What frightens me is the political hay being made of such a spectacle when nobody cared four, seven, or twenty years ago.

“Marthas” are older women who cannot conceive, and have not, apparently, been accused of infidelity. I don’t know how they arrive at that conclusion, but that’s why this is fiction.

Yeah, Rachel Maddow makes $7 million a year. I really don’t care what she thinks about anything, and I don’t believe that she cares about anything except ad revenue. The woman has made a career out of righteous indignation, much like Al Sharpton.

All of it. You want to talk about progress? You want to talk about free speech? Go to any place in the world outside of the United States, and you won’t be as free as you are here. You won’t find a more inviting, internally peaceful nation than the United States. Sure, the people with the loudest voices get the most

That’s pretty much the craziest, bat-shit thing I’ve heard all day.
