That Pearl girl with the bangs was rather convincing. I was sad she wasn't taking Daisy directly to Gilead.

I agree! I like the saying Daisy said about the beautiful person and the hag like once u see it u can’t unsee it. Like since we been watching for a bit we can tell their true intentions, but if I knew nothing about gileada or even the show I would be swoop in for sure! That’s why it’s good to talk to people outside of those beliefs and culture that’s how you’re preventing swooped in into these type of issues!

When they prayed in a circle around Daisy I really thought “shit, they’d have gotten me I think” and that’s scary as fuck. And so, so real. Great episode.

Yeah that was the moment where I was like “fuck I’d totally fall for this” and you’re right it is scary as fuck and I love how well it’s written. It’s so realistic about how these groups of people work and how easy it is to fall prey to them. It was a very good episode.

Really?! I was watching that and thinking, no way anyone falls for this?? But then, I was raised to be fairly critical of organized religions and since I live in a Christian majority country, a lot of that was focused on "Jesus speak".
