To 12-year-old me Ron Mael was very unsettling.

One question I haven’t seen asked is: How is Bo? Is he okay? These songs are funny and everything, but in the special there were some real moments of raw, genuine emotion — the dude broke down and wept for God’s sake. I hope there are people in his life who care about him that are checking in on him, and that he’s…

I was fully expecting white women on Instagram to get all offended and call for Burnham to be canceled. But maybe they can take a joke?

it does put into perspective how much space we all have for Ryan Reynolds’ Jim Carrey impression

Just go ahead and reserve the truck now to load all of your Emmys and Grammys, Bo.

Apparently there there is such a thing as waterfall windows, which would explain why it always looks like it’s pouring rain outside of Fred and Serena’s cells. It’s been bugging the shit out of me. But it’s actually kind of a nice decorative touch. The Canadians are so humane to their prisoners.

6) Again, for the one millionth time, WHAT ARE THE COLONIES? Besides just “Boogey Land Where Nobody Wants to Go”?

Burnham, Burnham, Bo Burnham,
banana-fana fo-furnham,

... Burnham!

“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.
