Eh, I’d have pegged him at Stabbing Westward. Metal Industrial enough for KROQ of the period, pop enough to open for Depeche Mode (no, really, I saw it *sigh*)

Totally agree with your comment. Quite honestly, the potential to see Lydia’s backstory (or anymore flashbacks or departures from June’s place setting) was and is the only thing keeping me interested in the show. I’m really glad we got it and I thought it was fitting, interesting, and made sense. Alone, this was a…

Marthas are not usually black - where did you get that idea? Marthas are usually older women. They tend to come from different backgrounds and ethnicity. In the book, they’re black, but here? No.

So in the book, they are not tolerant of other races. In the book, it is suggested that all non-whites were forcibly relocated. A possible genocide is also hinted out, though not outright stated.

I keep waiting for something - anything - to happen this season. Still waiting. In this episode we had walking, more walking, June staring open-mouthed and either angry or sad, and the Psycho Twins doing a tango. That particular scene made me actually say “WTF” out loud. I mean, if the Baptists are too sinful to let…

Not that anybody cares, but if Emily is extradited to Gilead, I’m out.

My take is June was fuming b/c she thought the Martha ratted her out, and suddenly realized why the friendly Guardian was not at the gate.  She was fuming b/c if the Martha had kept her trap closed, Hannah would not have been moved to parts unknown, and June’s lost about every ally who could help her find out.

If he turns out to be a Muslim we will have achieved a perfect trifecta of hate. It could punch a hole in the Universe, and I’m cool with that.

I’m going to shock you by saying this, but sometimes a song’s lyrics are simply lyrics and don’t mean anything but a check to the person singing them.

This is a really amazing moment. An artist with a young fan base topping the chart for months, hits diamond, and tells the world he’s gay.

I’m happy he is... whatever he is.

i just keep imaging radios in pick up trucks spontaneously bursting into flames

This is getting better and better.
The kid that destroyed country music in 2019 is not only black, but gay ? I love this so much. 

I’m honestly hoping he can make a fascinating and eclectic career for himself and not become the internet’s one hit wonder nostalgia joke of 2040s.

I seriously doubt she has that level of self-awareness and intelligence.

The next step is that a woman who stays with her abuser out of fear and miscarries a fetus after he hurts her gets a harsher sentence than the abuser, because she shouldn’t have stayed with him. But for the woman who leaves her abuser and is stalked by him, hurt and miscarries is also responsible, because she should…

That top image is brilliant and should be shown in any film study class.

You’ll die of alcohol poisoning within 10 minutes. The amount of June’s closeups seems to grow exponentially. Soon, this entire show will be nothing but the closeups.

The Handmaid's Tale drinking game should consist of: take a shot every time June gets a closeup. 

Hold on - someone having a different “quirk” than you doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “shitty” or wrong. It’s totally cool not to like it, to not be compatible with it, and to express that to your partner. It’s not okay to call them shitty just for having a different preference or idea - some people don’t care about eye…
