Just binging it right now and started ep 4. I can't stop watching because it's really good, but jfc it enrages me in the same way that the news does right now. It's just hitting too close to home.Hollismason posted:The pop and rock songs are perfect juxtaposition as to what we are seeing it lets us know that this is the now not the then. I was not expecting an entire Jay Reatard song at the end of an episode. That was pretty cool. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 02:07 on May 6, 2017 |

Thanks guys. So we are pretty much left to guess since right wing nutter takeover occurred? Probably something like 3-5 years earlier?

You'd think someone asking not to have something spoiled would be enough to warrant the courtesy of taking 2 seconds to add spoiler tags in the future. Seems like less effort than arguing about what is and isn't spoiler worthy tbh but here we are again.

More than anything if someone says "hey haven't read it yet can you spoiler that stuff?" maybe just have the common courtesy to do it instead of arguing why you should have the high ground in ruining the ending. It's called not being a dickhead and it's not that hard.

This show is really veering off into soft porn territory sometimes.

It's more the way it's presented than the content of it. It's got a real skinemax vibe and feels weird tonally compared to the rest of the show.

Stellar Curiosity posted:I do wish the direction/cinematography would dare to zoom out more, there's no need to play out this show in extreme closeups during dialogue. I'd agree with that. Still a fantastic looking show though.

I think it was just him and the mute woman that made it on to the boat. Hard to tell for sure though.

CelestialScribe posted:Not to mention the South. The book even talks about rebel Baptists still fighting against Gilead. I dunno, I definetly feel like it's supposed to be Christianity. The show (haven't read the book) definetly does try to show that other divisions of it don't sympathize and are just as oppressed as everyone else, but to me it seems like the basis is pretty clearly Evangelical extremism. But yeah it seems like ISIS of Christianity pretty much.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Show Gilead probably plays up how wonderfully post-racial it is to ah... whitewash the rest of the terrible poo poo. Kind of like how they crowed in the last episode about how they drastically reduced their carbon footprint (not mentioning it was in part through drastic depopulation, relocation, and liquidation). Yeah I was thinking the same thing. For a good chunk of the show I thought it was odd that they weren't all about racial segregation considering everything else. But I almost like how the show handles it better than that. There is defiantly racial oppression going on, but it's more a a dishonest "we aren't racist" type of racism. Which is honestly more believable.

Thwomp posted:I'd say the Children of Men case is actually a bit worse. Both settings use infertility as the cause for the end times but Children of Men specifies that no new children are being born. I don't think something like Gilead would even arise if everyone is infertile. Children of Men is much more dire but I'd still rather live in that world than Gilead.

This show is really well done, and conceptually really interesting/terrifying/ infuriating, but the pacing is sort of losing me. That probably a criticism of my own attention span more than anything but I'm finding myself dragging to watch it each week lately. Really wish Hulu didn't do weekly releases. I binged the first 4 episodes and thought it was a lot more enjoyable to watch in a big chunk.

it definitely hasn't fully lost me, but yeah my lizard brain just wants to see Gilead destroyed with extreme prejudice and it's really not what the show is about.

Die Sexmonster! posted:You're not who I'm referring to, as you've already admitted they're taking the time to paint a picture to great effect. Still, fair point, but c'mon people, have a little patience! And faith I said that too. I'm not criticizing the show for it. I mean, I've watched every episode it's not like it stopped me. For me, it's more an issue that they frequently toy with the idea of the rebellion but so far it never really goes anywhere. It's by design and it's fine. I think it's hard to deny that it's an incredibly slow paced show. For me at least I still want to watch it,but I guess I'm not exactly failing all over myself on Wednesday to find out what happens next. I personally wouldn't mind a little more momentum.

It's pretty trendy to do that right now. I think Game of Thrones kind of started it. I have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I think it has worked for the most part in this show.

Yeah. I thought that was the best episode because it felt so real. In general my favorite part of the show was the flashbacks to when things started going to poo poo.
