I think so, but that's probably more guideline than rule.

All of those. She is one of the architects of Gillead, but I think she either didn't know how much she would miss the casual intimacy of pre-theocratic life, the things she must have said she would be better off without, or didn't think they would effect her. She certainly didn't think it would effect her marriage as…

From what I understand of Pasolini's "capitalism is too like fascism" intent I think "surprisingly dull" was the goal.

You have to understand, until recently people weren't telling Paul Ryan he is stupid.

I'm just so fascinated by the speculation that Pasolini was murdered because of it.

I think it's hard to separate Baby< Jane from the hags-ploitation that followed, and the way it didn't lead to more or the type of roles the stars wanted/ an continued dearth of roles for older female actors. I don't think feud was interested in if it was a good movie, if cared about the baggage around addressed that…

Is it wrong that I kind of want to see it? Just to be able to say that I've seen it and have an opinion on how it works as a depiction of fascism/an anti-fascist film.

I have two reasons for why I think Luke is going to show up alive: the first is sImply that it's an ongoing. They're going to need more plot than the book and this is something to explore. The second are the changes of the Luke and Nick characters and how they relate to June/Offred. The book Luke is less aware, has a…

I do want to point out something about the racial changes in this episode. In the book Moira has two escape attempts for the center and the first one ends with her getting caught and having her feet beaten the way June's were in this episode. By having Moria and June try to escape together they were combining these…

It does add that, but it looses the "You aren't necessarily going to keep the rights that you have" aspect that having Serena Joy be closer to June/Offred's mother's age gave.

I have a signed copy of it too! I remember during the reading he joked about being a writer who was frequently optioned by Hollywood, but mostly stuck in pre-producition. Twelve years later, here we are.

Let’s start speculating about where it will go in season 2. Here’s mine

TO be Fair, Gaiman already wrote a spinoff of American Gods so he clearly has thought of it as open ended for a while.

I I had subtitles on, he definitely said "Why don't some people want Bisa in this country" Bisa = short for bisabuela, Spanish for great grandma. Less abstract than peace, still very profound.

I didn't see the Chuck twist until this episode. I forget what was the moment, maybe it was just his increased presence in this story.

So now that I've gotten two responses about this comment joking about this, I just want to confirm that the the gender reversed remake is a real thing, It was announced last year and I don't know any updates.

The video made me look forward to the gender reversed remake.

In the book Offred's passivity is highlighted by how active some of the characters around her are, and based on the first two episodes, it seems they're getting a fair number of the activist women in her life (her mother, Ofglen - weirdly the shows versions of her relationships with Ofglen and Nick seem inverted from…

Also, what happens when the man is actually sterile and thus handmaidens can't get pregnant? Do they force them to have sex with drivers etc?

Choices might be the wrong word, it was more how cynical do I want to view the world, how to interpret current events. Also wondering what participation I did It was basically a case of Be careful what you wish for, which in this case was sci-fi that was honest about how dark it's premise is. (I started watching in…
