“The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up”

Don’t count Fraser out yet. He’s only in his early 50s and still has many good years left ahead of him. He can do a lot as a mature character actor.

They’d rather live off their unemployment checks than make an honest living for minimum wage!

To this day I still quote from Real Genius.

But that specific audience of preteens and young teenagers who are too old for Disney cartoons but not yet old enough for actual amoral antiheroes are just the right age to rock the new Disney-licensed Cruella fashions available now at Hot Topic.

Off topic, but I’ve been meaning to ask this since S1. On this week’s episode, the Waterfords referred to June as Offred again, a name that hasn’t been spoken in a while.

Remember at the sobremesa when (I think it was) Moira said no one can escape Gilead without being fucked up about sex? As someone noted in another forum, June’s lines of what a healthy sexual relationship is have been blurred for a long time. She’s going to have to work through that with Luke and a good therapist.

I think June did what she did to Luke out of not-untypical PTSD act wherein a victim of assault/rape may attempt to regain control consciously or subconsciously by repeating the same behavior that was done to them.

And now that you mention it, I’m baffled as to why prisoners are allowed to have visitors in their cells alone with no guard in the room and the door closed.

BTW rest in peace, Janine, everyone completely forgot about you!

I just read in another review of the episode that some see what June did to Luke as reclaiming her body and sexuality and taking back control over her own life after years of being a sex slave in Gilead.

And I found it kind of jarring to go from the rape — and not at least having a conversation about it — to playing happy family with the baby in the snow like it never happened. 

As someone who has visited Toronto (and yes, I know that Toronto doesn’t represent all of Canada, it’s just the Canadian city I’m most familiar with) many times since I was a kid, that’s exactly how Canada feels to me. It’s what the U.S. could be in a polite, tolerant, multicultural parallel universe.

I was going…

I swear the Commander’s voice is growing raspier and deeper with each passing episode

Valerie Bertinelli and Trisha Yearwood aren’t chefs either, but Food Network gave them shows.

And somewhere, Emeril Lagasse is weeping over his Essence ... bam.

I disagree about Pete. Like he said when he signed off WU, “It’s been an honor to grow up in front of you guys.”

Some of Nico’s albums were more accessible than others.

And really, he did nothing any more outrageous than the Grammy performance of WAP. And that was on during prime time hours.

I’m thinking not as long ago as you might think.
