Having your abuser say "I am not abusing you, I am not raping you, I respect you" just makes them a liar as well as an abuser and a rapist.

All of Gilead uses the same system, at least we're led to believe that. Because we only see June's POV, well we had until now, we only see the one city, and there is mention of other places where they send dissidents to for punishment but the system is country-wide.

The fertility issue is complex because in Mexico, with their strongly Catholic society, they'll have different religious strictures in place that will affect their response. Gilead's approach is crazily flawed and immoral. But Mexico probably can't, because of their culture, examine women for fertility easily, nor the

Blaine can't make more any more? This requires a really deep level of trust between him and Candy, unless he's getting out of the brain supply game to show he's reforming.

I don't know what else Roger Cross is doing at the moment, but if he's filming in Seattle or Vancouver, wherever they actually film iZombie, and knows someone in the iZombie cast or crew well, they may just say "could you come in for a day." It does happen and you get these odd little cameos.

Filmore Graves might bug their operatives and know about it, independently of Justin.

I've got to say the writer's room do a good job with moving characters to unexpected places. Major is a far cry from where just about everyone expected him to be, and now Blaine is too, even from where he was last week after it was revealed he'd been lying for so long.

That's fair enough. I'd have liked more time on it, just not at the expense of Sun's story.

I'll be honest, I don't remember every person Sun has killed but my impression is that every one is someone trying to kill her (like the fake prison guards) or a member of the cluster who shares her skills (like gang members trying to kill Capheus). Even then, at least with the gang members, she didn't kill them all,

We don't know for sure. We know they dump out of date and possibly out of license drugs into Africa, including Kenya, but we don't know specifically that the drugs that Capheus' mum takes are made by Rajan's company.

Rajan would be a huge stretch, unless his company makes the blockers for BPO and he's always on them. Someone must make them after all.

I really enjoyed it at the time, and I think a C is really harsh, but I think it could have been better. I wanted to see their first real meeting, particularly Amanita meeting them all and them not being voices she knew through Nomi for example.

One of Rajan or Ajay is a sensate and Kala starts visiting him. It would make most sense for it to be Ajay but you never know.

She decided to stay true to herself, and at heart she's not a killer. She has the heart of a little bird or however it was expressed by Awesome Killer Granny during the jailbreak.

I think there are two parts. He deserves a thank you, definitely. However, he deserves some kind of putting in his place for expecting that thank you to expressed in sexual favours. I'm not sure a broken toe was the right way to do that, but it's in keeping for Sun. When he carried on, another physical assault seemed

IIRC that story is a true story from Lana Wachowski's childhood, although they gave it to Nomi. I don't think either Wachowsk has married, but I wonder if that little moment reflects their father calling one of them his daughter for the first time and a marking of that change.

Warrants can be marked as filled, withdrawn, blocked by a different court and invalid for other reasons -if there's a warrant for your arrest in a murder inquiry and then they catch the real murderer they drop the warrant on you because you're no longer a suspect.

That needs a spoiler tag! I rewatched the scene several time trying to see his face in the van and couldn't so I'm thinking no. But there isn't a single shot nor a panning shot where you clearly see everyone so he might be. I lost count of hooded figures pushing the trolley and faces getting out of the police car but

I thought a bit more about this and a slightly different slant occurred to me. It's a spoiler for this episode though. So some tags. Hoy tells us that BPO used to be very different and that the founder would be spinning in her grave at what it's become. Hoy, in fact, was there for the signing of the treaties that

I'm not 100% sure but I think no. The bartender might have been part of her cluster rather than one of Fuch's soldiers for example, and I didn't stop and count how many of her cluster were there after he got shot.
