Ok, I watched ep. 4 last night, and I’m starting to like it too. The first couple were so close to the book that that casting seemed like a big change. I was reading some comments saying that Serena’s background will probably be different, and a bit updated, from the televangelist influences in the book. I’m into it
Yeah, young and pretty Serena is weird, it kind of takes me out of it a bit. She’s more like Offred’s peer, which makes the dynamic of their relationship very different
A flock of flamingos is a flamboyance.
This is amazing, I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed until today. I may have watched this with my three year old and confused the hell out of him
I was just telling someone that on a daily basis, I sincerely contemplate the consequences of punching that man in the face—in very realistic terms, not just like “oh, haha, what would happen”—if I were to ever get close enough.

This is 100% right and anyone who disagrees deserves to be on that mailing list.
Nope, I’m right there with you. My hair is long but I put it back in a braid basically every day. And not like a cute, stylish braid, just a plain one.

Wow, I completely forgot about him being in Waking Life. (Not that I really remember that movie, because, you know, drugs.) I don’t have anything else to add, I just forget that he used to be a kind of counter-culture open-your-mind figure.
I’m grey so this will never see the light of day, but as a former copy editor for a wellness/mediation/spiritual publishing company, I feel compelled to tell you that it’s not “the Spirit,” it’s just “Spirit.” One word, like “god,” but, like, totally different and more in tune with the flow, you know?
I just posted something similar above. Are fish-scented babies a thing?? Am I out of touch with the latest junior high bully insults?
Yeah, that whole section seemed a bit rushed. Like, how could a man who built a career around being an immigrant who loves America be ok with a wall and mass deportations?? Did the conversation just stop there and not go any deeper?
I... have never seen this in visual form. This is exquisite
THANK YOU for this. Between missing Bush and all the “well, at least Nixon was a smart guy” glossing over of history, I just can’t handle what we’re becoming
