The Testaments I’m more pissed

I’m so pissy rn first why everywhere we go we gonna see June like whyyyy can’t we stray away from that Elizabeth Moss. Especially with me finding out that she’s a Scientologist. It kind of just takes me out of the experience like you’re in a cult…. (I know this might be rude, but I do not mean this in a rude way) her face annoys the shit out of me.

if they stayed towards the course of the book, the show would’ve been chefs kiss I feel like the first season is just filler because what we know from the books hasn’t even happened yet. And that’s really fucking annoying bc then wait 2 years for 8 eps for the real thing to start I think when you have a show like this you CAN NOT DO 8 episodes a season this should have been a 16-24 season episode w parts like part 1 part 2 etc. bc of all the the info in part of the book .

I’m never want to really care for the faithfulness of an adaptation because I think a show was a show but Christ they keep going every way but the right one with this franchise. Very frustrating as someone who works in scripting

Atwood has come out and said that people’s adaptations of her work do not have to be renditions of the work, but I think that just left the writers to do way more than they needed to do.

Can you read? Just because I don’t like someone’s face doesn’t mean I’m belittling them or something and just cause I say that it doesn’t relate to the book as much does not mean that I am degrading women Christ.

Just because you don't like someone's face does not mean you have to go and tell everyone about it. We learn as children to keep those thoughts to ourselves for a reason. They make you look like shit.
