set to Kenny Loggins’ ‘Playing With the Boys’

Too many people expect The Handmaid’s Tale to be a salve for every political issue we’re facing. That’s not really how narrative works. A TV show needs a scope and IMO the creators have chosen a scope that works for their medium and run time. At the end of the day, including too much in a show will only make it…

I love that how of all the adults in this town who want to control teenagers, she’s the only one who’s figured out that the best way to do that is to Den Mother them rather than try to treat them as mini-adults (HIRAM I AM LOOKING IN YOUR DIRECTION.)

It was more than Hermione or Josie got

ITT: Millennials acting like they’re the first people to ever have to face crushing student loan debt, disruptive technology, and a crap economy and job market while being condescended to by previous generations.

God, that was so, so good! I like it better than the original already. Brown and black women, lesbians, women’s studies - I just love how littered with Nazi triggers this is. I was pleasantly surprised by the science-y twist, and want to see more of that.

You shouldn’t be mad at people for not wanting to air all of their freaking insecurities.

Real talk; but it seems way more noticeably exploitative than in earlier seasons.

Mo’ money, mo’ ego, mo’ problems...

wasn’t that the reason why kimchi didn’t win s8? because she was unwilling to tell her mother that she did drag (and on an international level, no less) and, thus, provide rupaul with drama and a nice pat on the back.

Ru has played amateur therapist to the queens since the first season

The judging was so inconsistent. Kameron is judged for hot having enough yin and yang but Aquaria has noone and won? Eureka is praised for that basic ass outfil and a Clueless reference but Kam is referencing game characters and that doesn’t get credit? I jsut didn’t get it.

We go back further than Taxi.

Get him!

the scene of emily moving through the airport was so tense for me. one of the great things about the handmaid’s tale show is it’s making the perspective of a refugee or someone fleeing violent conflict accessible and understandable to an american audience. there was a taste of this in season one when Moira arrives in…

I think it’s clear that this wife was complicit in Gilead’s crimes. Sure, she told Emily she opposed the university purges—but because she saw herself, with her mfa, as an intellectual. The way they frame her oposition, it’s reeeeeally unlikely she opposed the culling of gays, or newspapermen, or anyone not her.

Gremlins 2 pitch meeting

The Obama library isn’t one of the top clients at the firm. The middleman for the Obamas was a good friend of Diane, and the firm assumed that the library would be a shoo-in for them. That’s why they had bragged for five months about getting it to their other clients, and why it would be very embarrassing for their…

Is this because he’s a lesbian?

That premise warrants its own spinoff. Maybe remake Matlock with Fin as the lawyer and Munch as the detective.
