It’s sort of terrifying to think that Epstein could potentially be the lesser of two evils here. 

Welcome to the inevitable backlash of deifying Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This surprises a lot of people, but there’s a measured, medium place between stanning for RBG as if she can do no wrong, and shitting all over her for having been friends with Scalia/saying Kavenaugh is okay/being an old white woman.

I’m so glad they cut away from the Ceremony. I don’t think I could handle seeing Josh Lyman and Zoey Bartlett having sex.  

I’m far from a Logan and Veronica shipper, but the ending still made me angry. It was the Extreme Tragedy of it all with Logan being murdered* on their wedding day, five minutes after seeing them get married, like something out of a shitty soap opera. Dragging out Veronica’s realization that something was up didn’t…

It looks terrible. I’ll be seeing it opening week-end.

Gonna be honest, I mainly remember it for Mr Burns’ “See My Vest!”

This sentence gave me a headache:

I think we’re supposed to believe that there aren’t actually that many refugees in Canada. There may be lots of Americans, who left shortly before or after the Gilead takeover, but maybe not many escapees who lived in Gilead for a while.

This could be a compelling plotline, but it’s not clear that Gilead has anything that would compel other countries to deal with in the same way that Saudi Arabia has oil. (On the contrary, the first two seasons implied that their resources were very scarce, with a major portion of their territory a wasteland, their…

Oh, for the love of God and everything he opens, this has become the most expensive, most over-produced piece of nonsense ever adapted from a great novel.

You silly goose, McConnell doesn’t have a heart.

Also, has no one else noticed that her commander is named Joey Lawrence!?

A nice thought, but I doubt it. We saw a bit of Nick’s back story; he was powerless, with no respect and no resources. Gilead gave him both. He might know it’s wrong but still not want to give it up (much like Serena and Nichole). That shot of everyone jumping to attention at the end was to Nick what that nursery-full…

Wasn’t there a similar shot on Game of Thrones with Daenerys and her dragon?

This just reinforces how bonkers the summer of 1989 was for classic movies. In a four month stretch the following came out:

I’m hoping Nick is deep undercover in some way and told the Swiss he couldn’t give them what they needed...YET. He has to “betray” June in order to help the greater good. HOPEFULLY. If it turns out he’s just a bad guy, that fucking sucks.

Would a cookie taste the same at that size? That kid in the glasses is small enough to fit in a Cheerio hole. No way those cookie molecules are going to interact the same way with those tiny tastebuds as they would with normal tastebuds!

Poor cat was truly agitated.

I’m currently daydreaming about Ivanka having a drink thrown in her face by Katy Perry. Or vice versa. 

Probably. I like to think that they figured that they need to keep the peace/save face amongst their friends. I like to think that the thought process went something like “you know, Ashton & Mila are probably not going to be ‘diplomatic’ with their word choices and we know just how fragile I&J can be.”
