[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The airport scenes killed me. My worst fear is being separated from my child and husband in a catastrophe - and I hate how politically scary this show is now under the Trump Regime. [/quote]

Please stop. 1) We do not want a political discussion here. 2) Even with our current administration, the show is so beyond anything close to what we have going on. 3) it’s a fictional television show, please leave it at that.

1) I can’t speak to this because I haven’t met everybody on this anonymous Internet forum
2) A huge theme of the show is how this all snuck up on the characters and how close it IS to what we have going on. That’s why it’s set in the near future and why the flashbacks are so terrifying. How June and her husband are still dreaming of having another child even as he has to sign her prescriptions and she gets government scrutiny for being a working mom. The whole point of Gilead is that it only took a crisis of infertility to destabilize the social order and allow religious extremists to take over the government. The scene with June watching casual misogyny on Friends while hiding in the old Boston Globe offices is as important as the torture. The whole point is to ask what is only a few improbable steps away?
3) What do you see as the point of fiction?

- Kindly, I don’t think you know what respect is. [/quote]
