These are older, well-educated people. How else would they speak?
I know a lot of older, well-educated people, and intelligent to boot. None talk that way.

visions of blood coming out of that toilet.
Those pipes! When is that head going to pop up already?
Was anything ever mentioned about the daughter’s names all starting with the letter “L”? Lynn, Lexis, Lila, Laura. Could be coincidence but with this show there could be a meaning. Hidden or otherwise.

I really can't stand Dorothy. She should have been doing the story.
I love Dorothy, Lauren Ambrose plays her brilliantly. She’s my second fav, right after Julian.

Love the "no angst" angle. I like my sitcoms to be funny.
Right, I don’t look at it as a mystery to dissect and solve, or a scientific piece to debate, but a light comedy to be enjoyed for what it is. I laughed several times, that’s good enough for me. It’s only the first episode so the characters will most certainly grow over time.

I get that the drop everything at once model never caught on, since it's hard to build hype with it, but some Netflix- style- shows really need it. Why has nobody ever tried a daily release as a compromise? For a 10 episode a season show you could run episodes for two weeks from sunday to thursday, still rake in that sweet water cooler talk and likely build massive hype throught those two weeks. /tangent
Patience, grasshopper. 🙂 Some of us grew up having to wait a week for every program. I miss the anticipation. Something that has been lost since Netflix and other streaming services. People would talk about it at the water cooler during the week, even if it were a slow episode. And I do agree this one was excruciatingly slow. What it needs is better writing. It would have felt like a waste even if there had been another episode immediately following it. Viewers would probably fast forward through it to get to the next episode in hopes of more action. Sure hope it picks up next week.

Again, she better have survived or I am going to be pissed.
Me too. But I’m banking on her being alive. Otherwise I’m sure we’d have seen her dead in the debris. They need their cliffhanger for the week. At first I was surprised the cliffhanger wasn’t about June again, but then they know that we know they’re not going to kill off invincible June, so there wouldn’t be much anticipation.

I hope that vat of milk ends up being served to Aunt Lydia. Eau de Handmaids.
Hopefully June and Janine peed in it.

As someone who really despises milk, that was hella gross for me.
Could have been worse. It could have been loaded with manure. 😁

I don't find June likable at all. And that's okay, not all heroines have to be likable, but I don't find her interesting either.
Ditto. I enjoyed all the scenes that didn’t have June in them. As soon as it switched to her it’s like it was a different show. Only Janine somewhat saved those scenes. June’s sour face telling Janine she should have left her long ago... Janine should have retorted the same to June at the end.

Wow, June is really full of herself. She really thinks she’s saving them. She’s conveniently forgotten how many handmaids she’s caused to die. “I won’t let anything happen to you,” June tells Janine. Yeah, you have a great track record there, June.

I noticed that Cassie is wearing a lot of black again. At the beginning of the show she always wore black; then as the changes started to take out the original GW elements, she switched over to "normal" clothes in colors. This season she is wearing black again, as are the other women.
I’d believe that more if it were only Cassie. I think the actresses are getting older and heavier (it happens to us 🙁 ) and black slims you down in appearance. I don’t think it’s much more than that. You see it in the ever-increasing thickness of their makeup too.

Eve Myles is usually a deal-breaker for me, dating back to Torchwood, but she looks pretty rough here
I thought you might mean because she’s not Faith Howells prancing around the piers in blue six inch heels. 😆 She was stunning in that (Keeping Faith). I didn’t see Torchwood so don’t know how she was there. I think she looks fine here though. I guess they’re portraying her as a gritty cop. I liked it. Will keep watching.

I think it aired on one of the more obscure TV channels in the UK so not much exposure. That’s why there aren’t many reviews or comments anywhere. I’m glad showtime picked it up.

Short episode this week. Not much happened. Disappointing after the great last episode.

I'm confused about this "treasure" thing too. Nobody knew what it even was
Another thing thrown in practically at random. And also, suddenly Sam's great hobby is sleuthing? Never mentioned or hinted at before. They threw in everything but the kitchen sink in this episode. Must be trying to ensure another season renewal.

Did we know that Grace was going to study fashion in college? I feel it came out of nowhere!
5 hours ago, Pickles said:The fashion thing for Grace definitely came out of the blue. Does her college even have a fashion program? Why wasn't that mentioned when she was touring the school? Have we ever seen her sew before or show any interest in clothing design?
She certainly was no fashion statement in the show! Such a ridiculous thing to throw in. They promoted her as more of a braniac throughout the show, always tutoring and being good in math, then suddenly she's a fashion aficianado. And Cassie always knew that Grace was interested in fashion? Thanks for letting us in on it, show. In five seasons, not even a hint. I can't imagine why they would do it. Maybe they'll have her come back (after a year of college 😄 ) as a greatest female designer to rival the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang.

The most interesting character is Gestalt, and even Gestalt didn't have much of a personality, oddly enough.
I perked up at Gestalt, interesting concept. But they managed to even make them ho-hum.

I liked her in Mad Men.
The character was unattractive and ditzy. Not much acting involved, I’d say. 😁

That's where I'm at, too. Glad that Serena will have to answer to her crimes, sorry that Fred and his smug little grin had to be the one to turn her in.
Wouldn’t they be able to find out that Serena was part of starting Gilead and charge her with that too? Or maybe that’s still to come next season. Maybe they’ll find out during the trials.

I understand why some of the handmaids didn't go on the plane, but what about the other Marthas? Wouldn't they expect punishment, most likely death, if they returned "home"?
Stupid showrunners. No one fears anything anymore. They’re all superheroes now.

Reminds me of a routine years ago from a black comedian (Eddie Murphy? Not sure).
“You know how white people always stay in the scary house? Black people would be like “Hm, this looks like a nice place.”
”GET. OUT.”
“Too bad we can’t stay!”
Haha! I remember that. yes, it was Eddie Murphy.

The writers missed an opportunity to give Luke an amazing scene with Fred, instead they had Luke haul off and hit him...Luke has so much to say and they wasted it, why even have him see Fred?
It killed my anticipation completely. I don’t know about these writers anymore. Can we put the writers on the wall?

I am rooting for no one now - except maybe Emily and Rita.
I’ve lost total respect for Rita after her comment to June being so BOSS. And I fear we may never see Emily again since she won’t promote June’s storyline at all.

June, ugh. Her even opening up her mouth to Winslow's wife was insipid writing, as a Handmaid she should have had her eyes on the floor and silent, right? The smirking must stop, we get it you are superior to all.
She’s not a handmaid anymore. She’s SuperJune. Oh and so BOSS. 🙄

S01.E06: VI
in The Old Man
I guffawed. I agree with the forum member that said this is like a parody. They should throw Steve Martin into the mix (another old man).
