I read it because I had a crush on a guy who liked it and he said we would coffee and talk about it.

if they got divorced but she didn't remarry it would also be okay; they would just still consider her technically married, but since her husband isn't around in gilead she's a Martha, not an econowife

to be fair, I am a woman of child bearing age, and the thought that she was too old to get one didn't actually occur to me until halfway through this election cycle.

i thought that was genius (of the writers) for exactly these reasons. It shows how hollow it all is. The wives are suffering but to some of these men it's just as close to a three way as they can get.

I think the ratio of book hypocrites is slightly smaller, i.e. since it's more in June's world view everyone comes across as less hypocritical because she has less insight into them as the camera lens does

I saw it more as an infantalizing and demeaning kind of gift, but also one capable of having weird christian good intentions. Like "here's a little kid's box I used to own, little girl". I think Serena is trying to balance taking it out on her and wanting to treat the handmaid with decency because she still needs…

I know the handmaids are required to be watched for the bath… maybe they wanted to make it more believable why they were being watched?

I didn't take him being jealous/mad at June as much as he seemed upset that this was happening to her. This was the first time Waterford took her to Jezebel's, meaning the stakes and the game has changed. Nick realizing Waterford is amping up their relationship and putting June in even more danger, realizing that he…

it sounded like it was post Congressional attack

Moira always functioned as like, a symbol of back in the day. Offred would be like "Moira would handle this…" so it made sense to me that the more we saw Moira now, the less impactful the "Moira would be…" would be. Like, I absolutely love seeing Serena's backstory and spending time with Emily, but Moira ends up as…

He's much older and less… I just read the book this week. Visualizing this scene absolutely made it more creepy than how it's described in the books and I was a little surprised how different they were.

Moira pretty much was completely on book, in fact they added a little. She's really not around much in Gilead, and her backstory she said was exactly how it was revealed in book. I wouldn't have minded them expanding it more, but I'm also okay with them not doing it

just read the book this week, this isn't in it. I really liked the addition though because it's great for Serena Joy's…. whatever she has going on

It's not out yet?

My five year old daughter is pumped af about Homecoming, so they'll be at least 2 girls

Somebody on twitter suggested somebody wear a fake arm and now I want it

I'm American and I'm hoping for one

she's still Callista Gingrinch though

….jesus, if the Catholics in my life drove as hard a bargain as you I might actually have gone back
