Unrelated observation: Yvonne Strahovski looks like a cross between Lena Headey and Portia de Rossi. It keeps distracting me because, when I see her, for a second I think it's one or the other of them.

I actually thought it was Portia de Rossi until I wikipedia'd it.

I love this show. TV dramas don't usually hold my attention but this one easily has so far. I like it better than the book too.

Also just so everyone knows, new episodes go up at midnight Eastern time on Wednesday. So Tuesday evening for the West coast.

In the book they show video footage to handmaids of the toxic cleanups, it's made very explicit that it's due to the environment getting polluted and causing fertility to go haywire. It's never addressed in the Hulu version, wouldn't be surprised if it was being saved for Season 2 exposition.

I've wondered who guards the people in the colonies to ensure they do the work. It seems like any guard sent there would inevitably die too, so do they just send a portion of their military to die?
