It’s established in “The Other Side” from the first season that three years have passed.

I thought it and few other images were over-the-top and a little too on-the-nose.

Did anybody else get the indication that Meloni’s character is gay? Closeted gay, but gay nonetheless?

“A Woman’s Place”

“Faithful”

“Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum”

“Birth Day”

“Offred”

What would’ve been so wrong with Serena staying in Canada? She has nothing waiting for her in Gilead except torture, death, or the loss of more fingers and God knows what else? They could’ve staged it like an abduction with their own video posted, draw out some of the more irrational in Gilead out of the wood-work and…

In my position, I have the harder case to make. I do watch the show, but I dislike the intent behind it, as well as the tactics the writers and producers use to keep it running. I point to the various flaws in logic and storytelling. Even though I do receive “likes” (or recommendations, as they are known), I prefer to…

It’s all I’ve been going on; trying to make some sense of a narrative where the U.S. becomes completely impotent because of some guys with machine guns stationed on street corners. It still doesn’t make sense, and there is very limited world-building. Some items are conspicuously absent even after two years.

You might’ve noted I was speaking hypothetically when I made “snap” judgments about what kind of person I believe you to be. I would be wrong to make such judgments. I’m going to point out now that you have made the judgments, and you probably stand by them, even though you don’t know me. You might’ve noted my predispo…

“...old enough to already know how to read...”

Now that is a frightening prospect that would make for some excellent story options if the writers took advantage.

Let’s try it this way, and maybe you’ll understand.

No one has availed themselves of their services, so I have to assume they’re not a thing, or Canada doesn’t have it in their budget? The Gilead situation is intolerable. They’re not a government, or a political power. This was a coup orchestrated by a massive cult, like if Branch Davidians got access to nuclear…

When I first saw the video of the baby with Luke, I believed (and now know) Luke to be an idiot. Where did the video come from? Are there Gilead spies in Canada? Is this a given? If it is a given, why would Luke parade the baby around for the camera? How does everybody know it is that particular baby? Babies don’t…

We used to have these people called Cult De-programmers.  They would essentially abduct people they felt were under the influence of dangerous cult group.  I don’t understand why no one thought to try this with Serena.  She (and all denizens of Gilead) are obviously insane.

My observations:
