I can think of two reasons for this:

“They like Ultron, they like the Avengers, one of those executives *really* likes shirtless Thor in a pool...”

Exactly what I was going to say, sir or madam.

My favorite part of the story is how Bilhah’s (Rachel’s handmaid) two sons are named Naphthali and... Dan.

I feel like this horrific awfulness with Eden is gearing us up for how brainwashed Hannah will be when June finally sees her again.

ITA. I think Serena was sure those rules would only apply to “lesser” women. Or that, you know, in public she’d follow the rules, but she’d actually wield power through her husband. I mean, it’s obvious she’s smarter and better at this than him, he’s only at the table because of her, and that undeniable fact would…

This is actually why I think the flashback story was incredibly important for the episode, the story of the Waterfords using “free speech” to push their agenda into the mainstream, the silencing of Ofglen, and Ofglen’s use of violent speech all weave together to tell a more complete story and a less disjointed read…

I loved the loooong beat after “What do you girls [ugh] talk about on your walks?” Because, imho, Serena Joy only at that moment realized she had put together a light brunch date where the one who was supposed to play the part of lively, chatty best friend turned out to be a woman with her tongue cut out. Oopsies!

Hell, it wouldn’t even be a lie. 

It kind of struck me that I have a sweater I wear all the time that looks just like the ones they wear in the Colonies.

This episode had a lot of people seeing and ignoring (or misreading) warning signs. Rita and Nick both sense something is wrong but their concern is ignored (quite deliberately, in Serena’s case). Serena also observes that little Charlotte / Angela is at risk from neglect but does nothing. Pryce pretty much says that…

Family Guy should have never came back from the first cancellation, I tells ya.

Well, the fact is, she’s not responsible for any of this. She’s not responsible for Omar’s death or for Luke cheating, or for Rita getting slapped,for the other Handmaids refusing to kill Janine with her. She may have persuaded them to do those things, but none of this is actually her fault. She never killed anyone,…

I love mayo, but honestly never even considered it on a hot dog, or imagined anyone else would, until right now. I’m with Kate on this, it’s already fatty and creamy, it doesn’t need more of that.

My go-to remains Jesus Christ Superstar. You get the story, plus some amazing singing and awesome music, and it still remains thoughtful and moving. Every Good Friday a bunch of us get together.. Been doing so for decades. Always worth it.

It already sounds like you made up your mind about her and about how women in politics are treated despite evidence to the contrary (e.g. the outsized hatred towards Nancy Pelosi (look how often she’s used as a boogeyman just by name compared to even her Harry Reid), Elizabeth Warren getting reprimanded for reading a…

The English actor Adrian Lester, who played the campaign manager, is an incredible talent who Hollywood woefully overlooked. He’s shown up in great roles all over BBC, and his Othello at the National Theatre is one of the best Shakespeares I’ve ever seen.

“Candidate Hillary was the result of a lifetime of programming by political consultants; when she appeared in public you could almost see her thinking about mannerisms, pitch, volume.”

It’s also a lifetime of being a woman in the public eye and having to deal with an antagonistic press that was out to get her, i.e., a…

Yes, that’s all we do in the mid-west. Veggies and ranch dressing. Yup, you hit the nail on the head. In fact your observation has become the most important discovery in the history of not just the world but the entirety of mankind ever. Thank you for finally pointing it out.

What else is nice about these recipes is that they’re just recipes. You can just look them up, and boom: ingredients and instructions.
