Agreed! I thought it was a fantastic episode and couldn’t believe the C+! Of course rape and the sight of it is repellent - but in the world of Gilead, it is a fertile woman’s lot. That June could have sex with Lawrence last week was her submitting to it for everyone’s protection. Meloni has been wasted as a nasty…

This was an epic episode and a triumph. I feel like the A.V. Club hates everything sometimes 

Dude. You somehow missed a super important thing. Serena set Fred up. This has been a set up since she returned from Canada. She and Tulelo made this plan to get her over the border and Fred in prison. All the clues were always there. We just didn't see them because we assumed of course she'd betray June to get Nicole…

thanks for trolling, but it’s always said to women. 

It was also refreshing to see characters reacting to each other in good faith. That “ceremony” scene could have gone many ways, but the fact that June, Joseph, and fragile Eleanor, under great pressure, spoke to each other as adults who recognized the stakes, made it something elevated beyond the the perverse power…

This is not how people limp. In reality, something as minor as a limp from resting one’s weight on his or her knees for an extended period of time would only cause muscular strain, but we have June going up and down as though she were hobbled by a clown hammer.

“Just treat it like a job,” June advises Lawrence, “this is a transaction, and then it’s over.” Is June protecting the Lawrence family? Nearly three seasons in and I still can’t figure out her motivations.

It was an amazing episode and “at least it wasnt you” and Freds face was my favorite moment ever.

that her chosen weapon has been to shout “sit down, shut up, and stop talking about concentration camps being bad, you uppity little shits” loud enough that Trump jumps in to say “hey yeah what she said” is the source of some criticism

I smell a KAC + George show on Fox News soon. It’s a fucking game to them....and they have the hook in 50% of the country’s mouth. It’s disgusting.

Was expecting this.  Now have chest pains.  The kind that are most easily relieved by punching a Nazi.  None nearby, sadly.

Remember how the GOP were all-a-tremble about the specter of Islamic Radicalization?

Laidlaw told the Daily Beast that the school had “discontinued contact” with Epstein in 2007, and that the school has no complaints of his behavior on record, adding that Interlochen’s “policies would not have permitted Mr. Epstein any unsupervised access to students.”

Yup. Where Sessions has fallen, a much more racist and terrible phoenix will rise from his ashes.

Also, they do tend to eat (or at least destroy) your brain.

I hope it’s destroyed. Republican political careers are like zombies -- they just lurch back to life somehow.

Death.

If Epstein was 14, hed leap at the chance to go fuck himself.

A spotless 14-year record of walking the straight and narrow
