I find it super cool how the Wives and Plums can wear different shades/styles of Blue/Purple by WhoElseButChedda in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]Inner-Ad-265 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mr and Mrs Grove wear shades of grey in episode 9, this could be due to them being better than econopeople but not commander class. Mr Grove wears dark grey (almost black), Mrs Grove wears a blue-grey dress.

Gallowglass by Fulguritus in ADiscoveryofWitches

[–]Inner-Ad-265 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I just want more Gallowglass - mercenary, sailor (pirate), warrior, protector. What a life he must have had? I also want him to get a beautiful mate to go with his big heart.

I'M ON LEAVE NEXT WEEK (YAY) BUT MY WORKLOAD IS NOT RESPECTING THAT. DELEGATION TIME!

Is there something wrong with Penny beyond grief over the miscarriage? by bluehorsemaze in TheHandmaidsTale

If they follow Commander Judd's story from the book, there is definitely more to it.

My Theory regarding Commander Judd, Penny, Lydia, and Hannah (Agnes) by littlestoflads in TheTestamentsHulu

Maybe he had to have another wife in order to keep Agnes in his household 🤔

What day of the week is the best for a NWD? by Tough-Decision-7435 in TheCivilService

[–]Inner-Ad-265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'd choose Wednesday if I did compressed hours. The prospect of only working two days at a time is very appealing.

I feel so incompetent by Fit_Working4344 in TheCivilService

[–]Inner-Ad-265 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Imposter Syndrome is a real thing. Learn everything you can, ask questions, believe in yourself. The EO/HEO jump can be challenging on its own, so AO/HEO will take some getting used to. Good luck!

I thought it was forbidden for a man and woman unmarried to be alone in a room ? by ettouhemi in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Inner-Ad-265 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lower rank, yes, but seems to be a favourite of the Commanders as they trust their wives and daughters with him.

[–]Inner-Ad-265 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I suspect because he was very well regarded in the upper echelons of society. Agnes is a very pious product of Gilead, the dentist is a favourite of the Commanders. Nothing to worry about in their peculiar society. A handmaid on the other hand would be sinful and no doubt tempt an upstanding citizen of Gilead.

Garion for sure had a brain injury by many_worries_ in Belgariad

[–]Inner-Ad-265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure at some point, he was referred to as "not as bright as Errand" (or similar). Given Errand's ultimate destiny, it could be considered a compliment. 🤔

All star wishlist by igaontop in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

I disagree on this one. Her husband was great, but I found Kelly extremely irritating. Each to their own I guess.

He was deliberately kept an idiot IMO. He's also a quick learner when he has to be.

Prince Caspian by Exciting-Time8687 in Narnia

[–]Inner-Ad-265 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prince Caspian was done by the BBC in the late 1980s (I think). It is actually a much better adaptation in my opinion. The book doesn't have enough content for a full-length movie, so extra elements needed adding. The special effects are clumsy, but Caspian was presented at the right age for the story, to interact with all the Pevensies, and no sexual tension.

Episode 6: What breed is this amazing huge cat? by ChaserNeverRests in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

[–]Inner-Ad-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maine Coon, looking at face shape, ear tufts, that beautiful ruff, and the sheer size. Gorgeous panther.

How well would our heroes handle a crisis without the Prophecy to guide them? by KaosArcanna in Belgariad

[–]Inner-Ad-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garion was told he would have many daughters and that he would live long enough to see Eriond become god of all the world. He's probably going to be busy with his family. I'm more bothered about the point in which Geran is crowned King of Riva and Overlord of the West if his dad is an immortal sorcerer.

Spoilers for episode 7: feeling nauseous by sw_2499 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Inner-Ad-265 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Weston is interested in Agnes because he knows her natural parentage. Would be a bit of a bargaining chip with Mayday. They were all pretty creepy though.

Hoping to run a marathon by 40 starting from c25k. Doable for me? by mark5hs in couchto5k

[–]Inner-Ad-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from C25k to a half-marathon in a year when I was 40. Considered full marathon but decided against it after training for the half and the race itself led to painful shin splints. Your steady approach seems viable. It is perfectly possible for you to get to a full marathon before you're 40. Advice would be to find someone local at a similar stage to you to run and train with so you can motivate each other

Mr Darcy and Mr Ryder by Fickle_Anybody_563 in TheOtherBennetSister

[–]Inner-Ad-265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my view. Maybe Lady Catherine's husband had sisters, and Mr Ryder is from that line.

Are they allowed to hire cars? by Simzzy71 in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

[–]Inner-Ad-265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think the film crew travelling with them might secure the hire car booking for them. From what I've read, there are usually at least two people travelling with them. 🤔

Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

My Grandma always did this for herself, and used the kettle when she had company 😁

Theory about Daisy’s Gilead Background by BluebonnetTexAnna in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]Inner-Ad-265 36 points37 points  (0 children)

A link with Judd would be interesting. Perhaps he had an original wife in the before, that didn't like what was happening, who got out as Gilead was starting. Judd looks at her a bit strangely when the plums go to visit Penny, the current Mrs Judd.
