It's the go-to response of people who want to rationalize racism as not being so bad, or to insinuate the victim had it coming.

Yeah, the first trailer, and this one to some extent, made me think Mass Effect cut scenes with a gloss of Star Trek on top of it.

I don't get the changes to the Klingons at all.

A big part of why this show doesn't work is that none of the characters have redeeming qualities, or are affable assholes. A lot of TV shows are centered on characters who are complete dicks, but usually they either have admirable qualities (e.g., "House"), there's something tragic about their situation and their…

I've always kinda been amused/intrigued by the theory the show will go science fiction at the end, which I think might piss off a lot of people too.

One thing I've always wondered about "studio math."

Is there some oil in Massachusetts no one has mentioned?

Also, it's possible the "only 2 states left" news was a lie Offred heard as Gilead propaganda.

I'm not sure about that.

One thing that always struck me odd about Atwood's book (and especially now given the backstory in the TV series) is that it centers this religious fundamentalism in the bluest part of America.

Wouldn't the Republic of Gilead collapse under its own stupidity?

But the process we see in this episode does none of that.

The "trial" gave me chills, because of a) how absurd it was and b) I'm sure that somewhere on this world there's a government that does something similar.
