Really. Whatever happened to the badass who took down a helicopter with a bazooka made out of tin cans? This cowering Tulip is beyond boring. It's actually infuriating to see what the character has been turned into.

Yep, same here. My anticipated box of kleenex was definitely not needed for that.

Thanks for the exposition. I'd just recently rewatched it, but forgotten a lot of the full context.

Apparently the etymology is regarding a bachelor's button flower (you made me go look, since I use it myself frequently without even thinking about it).

My guess is that it's more about what's being *added* that's their problem. Me, I'm totally digging the amplification, especially Laura's character being fleshed out more than in the book

Thanks!

These are the family groupings that I'm pretty sure of. Confused by the remaining 2 in the top row that I didn't mark.

There's another mom and baby alone pic (see 5th from left, top row on
below link; best screenshot I could get, expands if you click on it).

Sheer economic desperation. Handmaids being the main/only thing Mexico is willing to trade for?

I'm curious about the second reason, would be interesting to read if you'd be willing to put it inside spoiler quotes.

Yep, I thought the whole Gilead going totally organic with food production and "78% reduction in carbon emissions over 3 years" was being strongly emphasized for that reason.

I don't know if it was mentioned in the review or the comments here for the Nolite episode, but during the doctor's office scene, in the waiting room are pictures on the wall of Gilead commander couples and babies (obviously, successful patients of the doctor) that show several interracial families and babies (2-3

That and/or just all the social-climbing, clucking admiration she'd get for it amongst her friends.

I don't remember the women's magazines in the book (which my memory of is admittedly fuzzy, been a long time since reading it). It certainly said more about his indeed typical, true colors than many words could. But I thought maybe it was also partly a wayfor him to gauge her interest and willingness to get dolled

Chekhov's phone, eh? :) Okay, but my point was that *both* Shadow
and Wednesday make it seem like the phone/s purchase was solely Shadow's idea, but it was already written on the list that Wednesday gave Shadow.

Just double-checked. Wednesday pulled the already written list out of his coat pocket as they were entering the diner and handed it to Shadow.

A notable strange glitch: There were "2 cell phones" on the shopping list that Wednesday gave Shadow. And it seems that only one was bought, though he obviously didn't even want that.

Atamanuik described it excellently on Colbert's The Late Show, in terms of a center of gravity issue, which I hadn't thought about before either. I had heard about Drumpf having trouble with stairs before, and then having seen the Colbert interview made all of the walking and incline issues in this first ep even
