Only one I can attempt to explain is that it seems like in order to become a Handmaid you have to be proven fertile, so maybe the new Handmaids were econowives with children who fucked up somehow and became Handmaids?

I would have gone for Aunt Superior.

But I also think he’s hoping to be able to bring Gilead down, by way of transforming it back into a non-insane country, and he doesn’t rate the life of a single person above this goal that would be beneficial to many.

“Great Aunt” was *right there*

Sigh... kids, this is what happens when you fail to do any world building.

Lawrence is a guy who goes the way the wind blows, so long as it’s blowing him to the top of the pile. When he had a chance to look like a rebellious savior with Angel Flight, he was with June. After his wife died, so went most of his motivation for doing the right thing (I also think he had something of a death wish…

They’re trying to say this is what happens when you can’t vote for Obama for a third time.

It seems that each episode tries to out creepy-weird the previous episode. 

June and Moira’s reunion is right out of Outlander’s Jamie/Claire always-find-their-way-to-each-other CoinkyDink Handbook

We all know that Elizabeth Moss is a big Cubs fan IRL - was at all the 2016 World Series games. People forget the 2016 World Series - I understand!

So what you’re saying here is that it is my patriotic duty to the supply chain to purchase a kegerator. On it. 

Is that why Cherry Coke Zero seems to be out everywhere? Even the plastic bottles are missing.

Pepsico and Coca-Cola have had to shut down some of their lower volume product lines to keep the main flavors going. Some flavors (Like Diet Mt. Dew Code Red, grrrr.) have been unavailable for months because of the can shortage.

“Hey. We’re just packaging what the kids want”

For the full experience, while watching it have someone dump cold water on you and hit you with a rake.

Uhh what? A show with Linda Cardelini and you say Franco is the outlier?

If your nephew has gotten to the age of 17 without tolerating any food from a school cafeteria, summer camp, friend’s house, or restaurant that wasn’t pizza and chicken nuggets, he’s got another problem than “my parents didn’t force me to try everything.” Parents aren’t the only source of a kid’s food.

Celiac disease impacts about one percent of the population overall. Celiac occurrence in children is one in a thousand. It’s relatively rare, so “half the population” experiencing gluten-related symptoms would absolutely be bizarre (ditto dairy and tree nuts — sensitivities are just not that common).

This is all strange to me also, but then I grew up very far from restaurants and takeout options. Just didn’t happen. My mother’s job was the home, and she was a devoted and determined cook (if not very adept). And I know a lot of things have changed but, yeah, our home wasn’t a democracy either. You ate what was…

Y’all are crazy. Both my parents worked low-income jobs and my sister and I got the same food as they did and had to eat it and not leave anything on the plate because we couldn’t afford to waste anything.
