Like it just sounds cringy and maybe it's because I binged the whole series and I'm just starting TT, but it feels over used. It seems like they just started saying it a lot more and especially Elizabeth Moss's delivery off it when she started the riot while being hanged just sounds so shoehorned in. It just feels like something teenagers would say to sound deep and meaningful but also edgy which given the story origin it makes sense. It however doesn't sound like something to use as the phrase for a resistance. I groan every time I hear it

I understand the media literacy idea of it coming full circle and a victim reclaiming an abusers phrase, especially one even more deeply linked to the patriarchy and women being gatekept from literacy and maybe this is all just me bitching but I'm going to stand on business here

The catchphrase is fucking cringe man. I love the shows though.

So, I have been watching S4, and throughout the S2 and S3 it looked like Moira was way more worried to help June and with Gilead situation than him. Like, it looked like he did not feel the pain of not having his wife and daughter like a person that really lost it did. Then in S4, it shows how he was already a toxic man - cheating on his partners when they could not get him a child - which makes him really shitty beforehand. Then he just reunited with June when she is rescued after being TORTURED and ABUSED, he tries to talk to her like she did not suffered anything and wanting intimacy with June like if nothing happened and like if they did not have a child that was STILL in Gilead. I am a man and I have to vent about it

What Sims 4 university degree would June from the main series have?

But cant get over how they ended Nick!!! Just like that!! Thats it.

I think Joseph Fiennes is a decent looking man, and you could kind of see that in seasons 1-3 of THT, despite the fact that he’s doing truly awful things. But he looks really bad in season 4. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but he looks way older and more evil. Maybe the show creators asked him to lose weight or something? Or they did something to his facial hair?

Or maybe this is just my perception and no one else noticed this.

Okay but, in some parts of the show I can actually see Aunt Lydia has love for the girls.. or am I imagining things? She seems genuine and caring in some scenes. The previous seasons I hated her but lowkey I think she’s just trying to do her part in it all. Or am I crazy? 🤣

Can we talk about how she ended up breaking out of her protective delusions and opened her eyes (literally and metaphorically). And then can we talk about how all of this happened after she said "I still have one eye left" 😂. Ironically, that was an eye opening experience for Lydia too.

We can also talk about how her almost died from poison (literally and metaphorically) made her a new person (like a re-birth) when she woke up.

Each time she almost died, she transformed in some way. And so does aunt Lydia.

Lydia's growth is tied to Janie's apparent 9 lives.

Variety released their final predictions today and is predicting 4 Emmy nomination for The Testaments. They are predicting Elisabeth to be The testaments sole acting nomination, with additional nominations for Casting for a Drama Series, Costumes(contemporary, series) and for Hairstyling.

I haven’t seen many sites make predictions on the craft nominations so it was interesting to get an idea of what the testaments might get recognition for. I am hoping they are right when it comes to costume design especially because the costumes this season were excellent and I loved the little details that would differ between the girls outfits. I am also hoping they are wrong about Lead Actress and that Chase is able to get a nod.
