I’m not sure I can agree with this. Disregarding the debate about the homewrecker blame over the decades, didn’t Peggy kiss Fortune and was basically heading for an affair, even when she knew he was married? Only when she actually saw the wife with the baby did Peggy feel any guilt. Sorry, but in my books, that is a homewrecker, despite whether Furtune had blame or not (they both had, in this case as I see it). You can’t absolve the woman just because history has usually blamed the woman and you don’t like that. In this case it is Peggy’s fault too. Although at least she left before it went any further. But what would have happened if she hadn’t seen Mrs. Fortune with the child? Seems to me she would have then had the affair.

They could have at least given us a season of their relationship. I thought Robert Sean Leonard was a great addition to the cast. Now I have to fret each episode that he’ll be gone by the end of it. 🙁

And the priest’s reply: “This is not possession, this is being an American girl.” 😅 (Just sub “teen” for American girl.) Then he agrees to exorcise her! The whole sequence was hilarious.

I guffawed when the husband was leaving her and both of them called out to each other “You take the kids!” 🤣 As a single mother for 10 years (of teens) I often thought to myself “I wanted custody???” 😁

🤣 Guess we’re all coming with you then.

I settled in to watch the next episode and discovered it doesn't air until next week. Why didn't you all say something! 😉Or did everyone else do the same? So dissapointing.

I don’t think anyone is blaming them for recasting it’s the execution that was disappointing.

I couldn’t remember either so I looked at the video and she did have a watch on, though you’d have to get a closer look to see any diamonds. But it wasn’t burned up. It showed it several times as she was meandering around, intact and unharmed. 😀

And Robert the Bruce in both Braveheart and Robert the Bruce. That was 4 years ago but he’s changed quite a bit since then and I didn’t even recognize him!

Ha ha! I think a lot of writers do it. More often in bodice rippers. This show does have a bit of that element too!

I was more put off by the eyebrows. Can’t they dye them red? Or brush on some reddish makeup? Or paste on red fox fur? Something! No true redhead has black eyebrows.

That’s a lot of details to pack into one season. This is Diana Gabaldon’s books! You can almost have 3 seasons for one book!

Oh good. I thought I was losing it because I couldn’t see a link or explanation as to what they were referring to!

Here we go again. Who was it that wrote last week that their spouse said (paraphrasing), “June escapes, June gets caught. June escapes, June gets caught… “ 😀

I wonder if Elizabeth Moss practices those faces in the mirror. 😄

😆I was laughing at that scene because of this post last week: ———- QUOTE: STEPH369 SAID: And does every episode have to end with her sour face? Whenever there is less than half a minute left, you know the camera is going to start zooming in on her. The camera person must be rolling his eyes each week. ——— When the camera started zooming in with less than a minute left, I immediately thought of this post, and got a major set of the giggles. Steph nailed it. 😆

Tuello told the guards to put Serena in the detention center “for now”, so maybe she is free, even in Canada. Maybe he thought she’d be safer there and it was for her protection temporarily? They are unclear with the information.

And fireballs from her eyes. 😉 The writing is really going downhill.

She can’t fathom how to deliver the pathetic lines. 😀The scenario has become so ridiculous, even Ann Dowd can’t save the show. -

I was waiting with bated breath during that scene. I was sure they were going to say she can now do her duty as a handmaid producing offspring for the wives, now that she’s proved fruitful and is unmarried. And of course take away her baby when it’s born. So disappointed. I’d love to see the Gileadeans commenting “Blessed be the fruit” to her as she saunters around in her red robe and white wings.

Not as clear as all that, unless you mean in offscreen material which shouldn’t apply here. They kept strongly implying that Fred was sterile through the series, then bang! He fathers a child. I keep thinking it will eventually be revealed that Serena slept with someone else. So I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out that it really wasn’t his.

Yes, but in a way, June created those women. No, they’re not taking all things into consideration, but June should have guided them better, instead of only getting them all riled up (when helping her). It IS true that they risked a lot to have her get her vengeance. But I’m not surprised June wouldn’t take the time to explain it all to them and make them understand and offer to think up another solution. She only expends energy to get what she needs. Always has. Except she won’t.

But they kept saying he was the Prince of Myr. A pirate prince? Or was that just an honorary title?

Wasn’t he a Prince that was actually getting rid of the pirates (nailing them to poles and letting the crabs eat then)?

Oops! Gotcha. Sorry about that! Constantinople, who you quoted, was talking about Laena, hence my reply. Yes, and the actress is probably older than 15 too. Alicent, I mean (this could get confusing!)
