The idealistic robot in me agrees with you. The emotional human disagrees. A lot of my friends and family are conservative and I love them more than I hate their ideology. My parents think that if your husband comes home and wants to have sex with you and you’re not feeling it then he has the right to rape you. They’ve…

It’s finally happened. For roughly 4 years I have rated the show and compared my rating to Dennis Perkin’s rating. Sometimes I’d guess B and his grade would be D. Sometimes I’d guess D and his grade would be B. The only real consistency was our disparate opinions of this show. But I persisted. Finally, the time has…

I feel so seen. 

I’m a proud Richard Marx fan. I went to see him live and he makes fun of himself A LOT. Like I felt sorry for him. In conclusion, I could see him buying into this 100%.

I cried during the wedding scene and then for every comment that mentioned it. Like too much. I’m very happy for these fake people.

1) New pet peeve: Describing the facial expression/voice you’re going to use instead of just doing the facial expression/voice. Started noticing it last season and was all over this cold open. Show, not tell, you know?

Maybe it speaks to how much the reviewer loves the show that he keeps hoping for it to reach its potential. Even though we never like the same episodes, I love how much he loves the show.

Adam driver is working on it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2017/11/13/theater/adam-driver-arts-armed-forces-award.amp.html

Haha. I guess I’m saying he’s 98% cowardly now but not hopeless for the future.

That’s a rough realization. I wish you luck in coping with this new-found knowledge.

I still don’t understand how they were slowdancing with her on one leg. It’s my biggest problem with the season.

In Bash’s defense, he told the cleaners to wear gloves. A person who hides without a conscience wouldn’t even bring the gloves up for fear of outting himself in some way. Bash would have to give up a lot to come out, especially in the 80s, and his instinct to marry Rhonda makes sense as a self-preservation tactic. The …

A Gawker article told me that I can get out of the gray by presenting unique ideas not mentioned elsewhere. This is my moment to shine! I believe before the first call in the bar that Debbie was going to ask Bash to sleep with her. The first phone call came at that exact time and she grabbed her face in shame and then…

I know people had mixed feelings about this, but I’d like to make a note that one of my issues with Handmaid’s Tale Season 2 were the musical cues at the end. This episode proves that sometimes silence is more powerful.

This is a good point. The fact that I was cool with an episode like this one being thrown in out of nowhere speaks to how this show has trained me to watch. 

On the record, I laughed so hard during this episode food fell out of my mouth. I love Jared. 

Oh man. Because it’s episode 10, I thought it was the season finale. I couldn’t emotionally handle this episode as a season finale. I thank you for clarifying.

I’ve been thinking about this a bit. I think my take on this is you can be a victim and oppressor at the same time. So you can feel bad she was abused at the same time as you can hate her for the abuse she bestows. Right? Maybe?

Based on everything I watched the last 1.5 seasons, I have a hard time believing that Serena would give up her power to June and give June ammo to use against her. Character motivations are confusing to me this season.

In the book, her and the commander are a lot older. I think that’s something I like better in the books. By beautifying her and offering her youthful naïveté, it makes it easier to give her an empathy she may not deserve.
