Monglo posted:Concerning the non-rear end in a top hat men, a curious thing I've noticed, that every outsider character who has helped the main cast was a man. Im actually more curious about where are the non-rear end in a top hat women in this show? It's like all of them have been made handmaidens. That makes sense, the men have freedom of movement and the legal ability to read. That helps a lot for plotting handmaid escapes and such. Given the massive drop in the labor force when you remove all the women and send most of the young men off to war, I have to imagine all the remaining men have their hands full with work just trying to keep the economy from cratering any further.

HELLO LADIES posted:They've been going on since the 70s. They got officially branded and turned into ~a thing~ for the pre-Tumblr third wave in the 2000s, but they actually existed way before the book came out. I don't know if it's just a regional thing, but my experience is that this is off by at least a decade (1990s not 2000s).

Of course if the show gave Nick an ounce of sense they would've just had him explain to the kid that she's half his age and he's uncomfortable with that rather than inventing some dissonant "traditional" method of having sex with a child bride, but no, open communication might accidentally give them some sort of functioning companionate relationship and we can't have that.

JazzFlight posted:I think they're doing the ol' bad-guy fake-out. He hasn't done anything majorly bad yet and they left it a mystery as of this episode, so I'm thinking he might be a self-hating collaborator. I think he might be a smart dude who convinced his wife to pretend to join their cult (+develop the colonies and apparently Gilead's economy) to survive and it's eating them up inside. Maybe he even has a connection to the resistance which we haven't heard from in a long while. I would also be a little surprised if Bradley Whitford took a job as a legitimately bought-in Gilead Commander. He seems like he'd be uncomfortable with that.
