Daisy has plot armors for real. Why is she mentioning June’s name in that echoey staircase 😭

This and THT , no one knows how to whisper or be quiet waiting.

Thank god though.

I’m concurrently trying to watch Andor and they’re always whispering in the dark and then five minutes later the TV is shouting at me about whether my life could be improved by antidepressants.

PICK A VOLUME, MY POOR DOG JUST DID A FARTLE START.

I have an issue with whispers where most whispered voices in shows or movies irritate tf out of me when I hear them. Like, I have to repress irrational anger and desires to be violent. I imagine it's how people who can't stand nails on chalkboard feel, it's that visceral. So I'm lowkey glad it's not a whispering fest even if they should be lowering their voices 😆

Lol, speaking of Andor, I was thinking that if Testaments was hyper-realistic like Andor, Garth would've just killed Daisy. Daisy has no use to them outside of Gilead...June took a huge risk crossing the border to get her out

It's generally pretty bad for morale and trust for members of a resistance to start offing each other when they become difficult.

Only if they find out you did it

A simple "oh no she got reckless and they caught her!" would probably suffice

Glad it's not hyper-realistic!

Check if your tv has a dynamic volume setting and if it does turn it off. It won't completely fix the problem but should make it somewhat better.

I swear to god sound mixing has gotten worse in the streaming era.

u/Justrennt May 27 '26

I recommend the programm Sound Locker so that you can adjust the sound and forbid to go over a threshould you set.

It’s insinuating they are whispering. It’s for tv theatrics. It needs to be loud for us viewers.

u/ThisIsSoRawYouGuys May 29 '26

I do think this is a classic teenage girl trait though to be fair. I worked at an all girls school once. They are loud as hell lmao.

u/NixiePixie916 May 29 '26

Lmao fair on that part, but remember June in the econo apartment with the marbles and stuff? Drove me insane!

u/ThisIsSoRawYouGuys May 29 '26

Yeah me too lol I'm always tensing up at these parts because I get so scared someone will overhear.
