Like Tremors, it's been fun! Catch you on the flip side… like Cube.

They believe on some level that they are Nazis. Calling them by the name (or even as an adjective at this point) does a disservice to no one. You can't slander the original Nazis. And you're not slandering these guys. They picked their flag. So I don't there's any foul here.

In a pedant's way.

The word has come to refer to more than the literal party. You should accept that.

Oh God.

Would the word neo-Nazi offend our friend here?

Yes that's mostly the legal stuff I was thinking of. Like, Beth and Miller and how they deal, great. But ugh, the phrase parody of justice is a little too literally applicable for the trial itself.

I thought the Sandbrook stuff in season 2 was great. I mean, one of the best thing about that other thread (the more miss than hit trial stuff) is the thematic connection between both.

The phrasing, that "it's offensive here" made it sound like how offensive it was is relative to where it's spoken; a way to suggest that nah, it's not offensive, it's just you. Which, I guess is a very small nuance away from "offensive to the people here" which I wouldn't have twigged at.

Not just here, I would say.

Cloaks have been displaced by coats, trench or otherwise.

I thought maybe I don't respond to punk the same way as most people do. I didn't really get clear anger from it, no gravity that the scene required. Maybe I'm not the only one!

She had an ambiguous reaction shot, I thought, in the scene where the Handmaids are made to kill someone. I don't know what that means to me, exactly, other than maybe she believes what she's selling, for her not to be bothered (and enjoy herself) the rest of the time?

"Jay Reatard’s raucous 'Waiting for Something' could not have been more perfect for that final sequence."

I think they paired off this mystery, with its treasure hunting and a murder by sword, with the moment in the ongoing plot where Shinwell in a speech describes SBK as unsensational, "not fun, not clever, just evil" on purpose. Contrasting the panache-y pulpiness of the case of the week with that.

Dan Ackroyd.

"I am you, Barry."
"You're a bankrupt Japanese City?! What ever could that mean, so enigmatic."

I'm personally also counting when he refers to "Barry Allen" in the third person when addressing Barry. Like he's not just referring to The Flash standing in front of him but his own discarded/transcended identity in his past: Barry Allen.

He's even implying he's going to sue him personally.

This was one of the best features. Thoughtful attention to detail. It will be missed.
