So glad I came here; I was ready to go off on Hulu for not having posted the latest episode.

Alicia irritates the hell out of me too. TPTB keep trying to build her up into something that she is not. She isn't a believable bad ass.
Perhaps it's the material? I thought ADC was great as Lexa on The 100. I feel she's been largely wasted here.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Brooke Shields is old enough to be someone's grandma.
Shocking, isn't it?! But she was 14 when she posed for this in 1980, which makes her around 51 (my age). Gulp!

There was some serious Ho Yay going on in this episode, which I fully support. Any developments on that front would have felt a lot more logical and organic than a lot of other things the writers have asked us to swallow.

At the very least it makes me think there's a shot if Lynch does want to do something, which I'm happy about as I think there's still some good things they could do with the material and overall I've enjoyed this season a lot.
I'm glad you're enjoying it. I tuned in at the beginning out of curiosity because I was a total 'Peaks freak' back in the day (heck, I even put up "Join the Lynch mob -- watch Twin Peaks" signs around my college campus), but it hasn't grown on me, and I'm really just watching the remainder out of respect for Lynch (and I have this personal need for completion).
PS: Some may find the Dougie character endearing and Kyle MacLachlan's acting top-notch here, but I just find him utterly wasted.

Ugh. "Just You" is the Ewoks of Twin Peaks.

reboot the show around Alicia
If they'd let Alycia Debnam-Carey channel her character Lexa from The 100, I'd watch the shit out of that show.

Did Real Cooper leave that letter in the washroom 25 years ago?
The whole magic scene with the dime was very Nic Cage....
I've not read to see if there are any replies to this, but I do remember that Gerard made a trip to the bathroom.

Sigh. This show would be so much more watchable if there were characters other than Strand that I found likeable. I truly don't give a shit about any of them, even though most are decent actors (or at least actors who've performed well elsewhere). I'm most dumbfounded by the under-utilization of Alycia Debnam-Carey, who absolutely killed it as Lexa on CW's The 100. I actually find it offensive that they've wasted her talent.

It just occurred to me that things could get very ugly if Offred finally got pregnant but Fred knew all along he was sterile while his wife only thought he might be.

Wouldn't half a season back, when David first learned his girlfriend was a fraud, have been a good time for him to think about having her DNA tested?

Just read an interview from a while ago that stated the show needs an openly gay character. The actor who plays Carisa said he wanted it to be him.

It would have been so much more interesting if Barba had set out to demonstrate to the jurors that hypnosis can indeed make someone do something he or she doesn't want to by asking the perp how he feels while on the stand and then provoking his programmed heroin response.
His vomiting on demand would have been spectacular.

How does Fred get away with seeing June alone at night? Where is Serena?

She was willing to help create a world where women "know their place". Where women are rightfully taken back to the times when "America was great" again by taking away women's ability to vote, to have their own operate finances from their husbands or other male kin, and to own property.
She was part of this group so convinced they could find a better way, stop the "baby killing", stop the derogation of society as a whole, turn the country back to god. But she was the ultimate fool in believing that she would somehow not end up corralled and forced to submit just like the rest of them.

Abby not slapping Zoe Perry's character was a huge missed opportunity.
Right?! With a, "SHUT. UP."

Lord, I remember "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" from my Southern Baptist childhood. What weird memories this show conjures up.

The gun worked because black women are not allowed to have major roles (even when they are billed as such), especially in sf and fantasy. Why couldn't West have been played by a black woman?
"Or something" was the theme of this show.
Wait, isn't Jordan Loughran, the actress who plays Tip, a person of color?
Speaking of East, I love her portrayal here:

I didn't hate the ending; the only ending I've ever actually hated was that of Lost. To this day I've never rewatched a single episode, I was so angry.
That being said, I'd have taken BSG down a different path. The notion of children hating and overthrowing their parents is very mythological, and I'd have milked "All of this has happened before" for all it's worth. The opening line of the miniseries is "Are you alive?" In the end, I'd have the humans learn that at one time they, too, overthrew their creators, and perhaps they're nowhere near as human (alive) as they think, illustrating a neverending cycle of creation/rebellion.

Agree about the germy discomfort of the empty bathroom.
Say what?! Milo Ventimiglia could jump my bones in a dumpster, and I'd be okay with it. :-P

S02.E05: Suckers
in Designated Survivor
And all along I thought I'd been sensing some sexual tension between Chuck and Damian.
