Serena is NOT some anti-hero. Serena only cares about one person, herself. We’ve seen through flashbacks that she was spear heading spreading the message of Gilead in its first days of conceptions. She was advocating everything that Gilead is for other women. The only reason she has issues now is because for whatever reason she thought she wouldn’t be treated the way other women were being treated in Gilead. She thought she’d be making decisions and be keeping her rights, almost like a female commander. She’s not pure evil like some in the Gilead world, but she’s not innocent and doesn’t deserve some sort of redemption arc. Until she shows she’s looking to fight Gilead for reasons outside of her own selfish needs, I’m not rooting for any redemption for Serena. Any moves she’s making are purely for herself.
Later, my mom told me they were writing down the name of their rapist. And I remember thinking, there were so many pieces of paper. So many, it was like snow.
imagine getting a dollar for every time you lose focus
Not for nothing, but aren’t those Euros?
With all the times I’ve lost focus I can afford to convert the dollars to Euros and then go to Europe and spend them
it’s actually incredible how much a good actress makes a difference to a project/ perception of the historic figure they’re playing……… had anne boleyn been played by anyone besides natalie dormer on tudors, i honestly don’t think anne would be as loved as she is among ~my gen~ or w/e today.
“[On whether she has faced sexism in her career] Only what is sort of innate. But I think that’s the most dangerous kind of sexism: People don’t realize it’s there and we end up surreptitiously accepting it because it’s just part of our culture. I’ve never experienced explicit, overt, confrontational sexism personally. But yes, I’m sure it’s there traced along my career. I’m sure it is in most actresses’ careers.”
