[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Fred, Serena, and Joseph were some of the main architects of Gilead, but with this latest episode it seems like they're so low-ranking compared to the rest of DC.  If they were so important, wouldn't they already be in DC?[/quote]

I don't think Fred is as important as we've been led to believe.  Both Commander McKenzie and Commander Half-arm (Naomi's husband) have much bigger houses.  It also makes sense that in a new country that you're barely holding together you would spread out your leadership.

The latest episode was pretty boring, IMO. The one exception was the scene where Mrs. Commander Stabler takes Serena into a house that hasn't been restored. I was a little sick to my stomach to see all the kid's stuff, the half-drunk glasses of wine on the table, the baby's nursery with her name on the wall. Reminiscent of the Boston Globe, but still chilling and sad. And the flippant way the Commanders wife said, [b]"I think they were Baptists."[/b] Which was weird.

It seems they are also setting up a wives version of Jezebel's, which, groan.

I like the Canada stuff, but I really wish they'd be more specific in what exactly is going on. There's just a lot that doesn't make sense there.[/quote]

This line didn't make much sense to me, either. Baptists would have been more likely to create or go along with Gilead than almost any other Protestants.  It's such a small but glaring detail to get wrong.  The scene overall was pretty chilling, though, especially seeing that dusty copy of The Washington Post on the table.  That was a detail that really worked, as it brought back the two most horrific episodes of the series.

I almost wondered if that stroll through the house was going to give Serena second thoughts about back all in on Gilead.  The look on her face made me think she might still have a conscience in there, somewhere. [/quote]

I think it’ll be interesting if turns out Phoebe (name on the nursery wall, right?) is one of their “adopted” children. [/quote]
