Very good points. Still, I don’t see why she wouldn’t just quietly hemorrhage in her room, if that was her point of view. Something compelled her to try to get away once more.

This episode had a lot of people seeing and ignoring (or misreading) warning signs. Rita and Nick both sense something is wrong but their concern is ignored (quite deliberately, in Serena’s case). Serena also observes that little Charlotte / Angela is at risk from neglect but does nothing. Pryce pretty much says that…

Only if they could be said to have sinned in some way.

In a woman-centric episode, I found myself intrigued by the catty skeet-shooting drama presented by the men. The tiny disses ... “your handicap,” “BACK in order.” Fred wants to be sent north to handle negotiations. I suspect we’ll hear more about that.
And Serena is being gaslighted almost as much as June is, into…

It wouldn’t be the first time we’d been told of someone’s fate and it turned out not to be true. (Moira was said to have been sent to the Colonies, and they’re telling everyone that Offred was kidnapped because she was pregnant.) I want to believe the Omar and his family escaped to Canada but that Gilead knew he had…

My first thought was that the airfield attack was because of the compromised safe house, but now I think it’s more likely that the fleeing driver inadvertently led the soldiers there. I doubt they’ve had been so eager to riddle the body of the plane with bullets had they known that June — not just a handmaiden at the…

I hope your thought is correct, LHS. It could fit (though, when I saw all of the people walking emotionlessly in the same direction and June joined them, I feared they were heading to another lynching). The airstrip information most likely came from the compromised safe house. From that alone (and not just from taking…

The break-up was the one great instance of Titus NOT being selfish this season.

UNDER his armpit, which is not how you flare a cape. That made me laugh.

I've been slowly (and somewhat reluctantly) catching up on episodes I didn't bother to catch on first airing. This one is a stand-out, mainly because of the strength of Ruben Blades as an actor. Colman Domingo is a close second; I appreciate how he rode into town so smug in his sexy car, so confident in his…

The Blue Janitor, but moreso the Master. When the Doctor answered what he thought was a routine distress call, he'd have had little reason to suspect that the Master was behind the crisis (given that he was traveling with another iteration of the Master).

…. and then the Girl with the Star in Her Eye returns …

I thought that explained her laughter as she died. The Doctor will never know — but she's already put the Master's regeneration into herself into motion, so she sees the absurdity of the eventual loop.

"Without hope, without witness, without reward … " That applied to Missy as well. She finally justified the Doctor's patience, loyalty, and commitment to their past friendship — and he will never know.

That image of Capaldi on the porch with a shotgun was beautifully reminiscent of a determined Lillian Gish as she prepared to stand between the Preacher Harry Powell and the children, in "The Night of the Hunter."

They create a fascinating mix of strengths and weaknesses. In any companion set, it's usually easy to choose the one you'd want to be with if you're separated from the others. But with this trio, that becomes a very difficult choice for me. It's a rare balance.

Or they were conning us all along about their ability to read motivations. They simply toasted the UN secretary and the top generals because their goal was to get to Bill all along.

I think she's admired him for a long time. She caught his attention because she not only wasn't registered for his classes, she wasn't even a student, yet she was at every lecture — and because, when he made points that others found disturbingly challenging, her response was to smile. She didn't get the overkill of a…

Perhaps we need an English opinion on that? A friend from Dorset was astonished to find inexpensive reading glasses available everywhere in the USA. (Please, no cracks about the NHS; the availability of cheap reading glasses was the only aspect of healthcare here that he envied.)

I also like that "Derillium" sounds like a misreading of "delirium."
