Oh Paul Ryan knows a thing or two about working dat iron, amirite

I hate to say this, but this is where the big money liberal donors need to flock to. This is the man that Hollywood needs to throw five figure per plate dinners. This is the game that has been established so its the game that needs to be played. Paying for the ads that call out just how awful Ryan is for his…

See, the Democrats need to be strategic and hit where the Republicans are weakest and most vulnerable. With a motherfucker like Paul Ryan, that’s clearly “Leg Day”

That’s pretty much how HRC lost the election. Obama won by trying to win every state.

RIGHT? Uh, I’m not offended by what she said. It was actually a great comparison. It’s obvious she knows someone, or more than one someone, with such limitations. Don’t be offended on my behalf random concern troller, thanks.

As a person with an autoimmune disease, I am not offended in any way shape or form and actually think this is a pretty good analogy. People need to sit the fuck down.

Ugh, I’m really getting sick of language being SO policed. Didn’t anyone with severe allergies also get upset at Lorde and force her to apologize? People die from allergies!

In all the press for the show the director and the cast talk about how they took such close shots of the performers that often the camera would actually knock them in the face. They really wanted to capture their faces, and did they ever! Alexis Bledell also deserves credit for her truly believable trembling face in…

I forgot about Heart of Glass, that really was excellent and unexpected. I tried listening to that version after the episode but I kept remembering all the protesters being massacred during the scene it played in.

I thought the scene where Serena confronts the Commander was really interesting. He places the blame for his transgressions on her, then asserts his power to send her to her room, and she counters with the wonderful news of Offred’s pregnancy, followed immediately by the quick kick-to-the-nuts of “It isn’t yours.”…

I thought the choice of “Feeling Good” was by a wide margin the worst musical choice I have ever seen. It was so wildly inappropriate considering the incredible scene that had just occurred, it managed to sap the power, energy, and momentum of everything that had come before it.

I audibly gasped when June’s daughter appeared at the house, that entire scene left me reeling. Elisabeth Moss is just so freaking excellent, and so is Yvonne Strahovski giving a thankless performance. It’s a difficult task to elicit sympathy and hatred for the same character!

And the thing is, it kind of doesn’t MATTER! To the story, I mean.

I also liked seeing what happened to Serena Joy, in terms of watching a woman who was unboard with the movement get turned on and slowly edged out of the thing she tried to create. It was a very conflicted set of emotions - feeling sorry for her but also even more angry at how naive that she could have expected…

It’s funny how the “obligatoriness” changes your perspective on the novel. Most people I know over here in the US love the book because of its tight focus on Offred and the mystery of the outside world, and are disappointed that the show gives too much information.

I loved every minute of this series, and I wish that Jezebel had Wednesday morning open threads for the episodes. I read the book my senior year of high school in 1996, and I remember it changing my perspective on the world and literature. I love that they teach it in school now. I started to watch the series with my…

Agree re: the baby. Even if it’s Nick’s, those are still some sad circumstances. I feel like it would be subversive and realistic to the show’s world if she lost the child or it died shortly after birth.

This show has done things to me emotionally that I didn’t know a show could do. I was a sobbing mess at the end of basically every episode, but I was so so into it. And I loved the changes from the book, even though some of them took some getting used to.

i loved the series and loved the ending and im all on board with season 2.

Elisabeth Moss’ performance has been a huge hook for me on this show. I have cried just from her facial expressions. The scene where Serena basically lays out her threat and keeps her locked in the van while she was so close to her daughter made me almost understand and feel what a parent would go through in that…
