Did season 4 give the viewers ENORMOUSLY wonderful payoffs after slugging it out through three long seasons? Yes, it did.

Bye bye, AV Club. It was nice to have known ya before you died a slow death by attrition AND putting a g-d auto-play video commercial directly beneath this review AND an annoying new pop-up ad.

The 3% show sucks. Yeah, it’s a super cool premise. But there is just way, way, way too much endless posturing and discussions amongst the elites and next to no development of life for the 97%.

Frankly, a grown man calling himself “Scooter” is more than enough horror for me.

Was this a good episode? Yes, it was. Did it make me loathe June even more? Of course! Did the writers get even more lost in the woods? Indubitably!

I have to admit, there was something compelling about this Stabler show, but it wasn’t due to the good writing. The scripts felt like they were written by someone in Nepal who scanned a few social media posts in 2020.

damn, did the Theroux family ever get to the coast?  Last time I checked, they were still lost in the DESERT.  

Newsflash: you don’t have to feel “powerless” to get involved in grassroots organizing, especially when you’re protesting a “tragedy.”

It was beautiful.  But I just couldn’t get over the fact that they were in what was clearly a Catholic cathedral when Gilead is run by hardcore Protestants. 

Perhaps they’re patriotic Canadians? DUH.  And maybe they want Canada to go the Gilead route, in which case it makes a lot more sense to stay in Canada and go to rallies in support of the Waterfords.  

Also, Lawrence’s “June knows how to make people like her” line made me gag. Who likes June? Janine sure doesn’t, even if she supports her escape, and there are plenty of handmaids who suffered from June’s stupidity (including that grocery store shootout). Mrs. Keys is probably cursing her name from whatever dungeon…

Was this a good episode? Yes, it was. But let’s review a few things.

These “proud Muslims” sure to seem to enjoy singing songs written by white dudes.  

jayzus, would it be possible for us to sympathize with the main character without her mom being a thief and untreated drug addict who’s goal in life is to deny her own daughter a chance to go to university? Talk about blunt instruments, sheesh.

a satirical scene, presumably written post-COVID, of a character scoffing at another’s insistence on wearing a mask

hate to say it, but I think both me and June would’ve been a lot happier if she’d been rescued from the bomb strike in Chicago by the Nighthawks instead of Moira’s NGO. Who knows? Maybe in the next episode, she’ll steal Oona’s boat and go join them.

holy crap, after all the time June’s been raped, I’d never thought she’d be the one raping someone else.

Goodnight, John Boy!

Pretty sure my own father would’ve been thrilled to be known as “father/creator” of the family. 

Don’t forget to include the footage of Kalanick SAVAGING his own Uber driver, or all those “hilarious” times when he ordered revenge against female journalists who wrote critical articles of Uber.
