Thank you! All this info is so helpful! I kept on getting mixed up about aunts and Marthas…I know the lady who works in the house with the Waterfords is not an aunt but I sometimes forgot she is a Martha and just started thinking of her as a younger aunt. Duh.

After watching this episode, I am now plagued by a few issues:
- how does June manage to always chit chat with other handmaids about important matters that could get them both killed without anyone ever stopping them? They were hanging out by the side of the butcher shop for quite some time talking about MayDay stuff,…

Too soon, Darren. Too soon.

That's why you need to go commercial free. I stream just about everything now, commercial free. Makes you feel better about life and yourself.

The job descript…that is just.. fucked up cruel. I'm glad you didn’t take it but that means someone else did. I am going to vomit now.

I am positive he did not mean that the women are the real villains at all. No we all know it's the men in that world. What he was trying to point out is that while that word was used against homosexuals, the true gendertraitors are the women who are letting all this happen, encouraging all this to happen, and/or…

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying!

Whoa wait, did they expect you to de-beak the chickens while they were still alive?? Please tell me no cuz I'm going to be physically ill.

I still think he's better than Luke who just looks puzzled or blank most of the time.

He could have said it in a better way. [grumble grumble grumble]

Honestly, you should get the commercial free version. I know it's $4 more a month, but it is sooooo worth it. I'm living an almost commercial-free life right now because of options like that and I couldn't be happier.

I actually find her being able to have a conversation alone with Nick more believable than her being able to leave the house, go up to his place, and screw him like almost every night. I know Serena Joy allows it, but there are other people living in the house too.

Totally agree. I wanted her to chew him out instead of almost pleading with him. It's like, fuck him. If he can't sympathize with what she's going through and he's just going to get butthurt because she's forced to sleep with the Commander for her own safety, then really, he could go fuck himself. Man, I wish she told…

I wonder if that's why the cast initially said the story is not a feminist story, but rather a humanist story, to include both men and women. I hope I didn't get that wrong since I was just glancing through the articles at the time.

Do you think they might see it as doing the Handmaid's a favor, like letting them shave their legs once a month is a treat for them so that they'd behave? I mean, if the wives and commanders saw the Handmaids as little more than infantile women, I could see why they would think something stupid like that would be what…

In this podcast I listen to, Punch Drunk TV, one of the podcasters, Jack Conway, had mentioned that women like Serena Joy and the other wives and aunts, who support and encouraged this Handmaid system which is basically legitimizing rape of women by these men in power, are really the true gendertraitors of their…

Didn't they say they would run it through with the rest of the committee? Something about running it up the flagpole? So it wasn't so much that it was decided just like that, but more that these three assholes came up with the idea and after running it by the other higher-up assholes, all of them agreed and that's how…

Omg, that Guthrie dude, that disgusting fat fuck, made me literally ill. It was so obvious he wanted the Handmaid system just so he could rape other women with everyone's approval, and it made me even sicker that he looked almost excited that his wife would have to watch him perform the rape. I hated that whole car…

I started and continued watching the show because of Kevin Spacey's mesmerizing performance as Frank Underwood and Robin Wright's equally mesmerizing performance as Claire Underwood; and as long as the two of them along with the rest of the stellar cast continue to deliver, I will continue to love and enjoy the show,…

I would be happy if I misinterpreted that scene cuz the delayed reveal will most likely be totally hilarious and worth the wait.
