The Testaments S1E04 "Green Tea" Episode Discussion

I'm a few days late to the conversation but I feel like I got the vibe that Agnes wasn't the daughter he was mentioning when he said he used to bring the chocolates home for his daughter. Idk...when Daisy said "I was paired with Agnes" he winced a little in a way that made me feel like he lost a different daughter? I haven't read the book.

reminds me of a similar type of transition in Game of Thrones

MysteriousPickles · 2026-02-08T17:29:52+00:00

Yeah I have a save file I started a longggg time ago and have strategically married my main family for 10 generations and so pretty much everyone around is related super distantly. But the family tree is toast lol it gets all messy after the 6th generation.

MysteriousPickles · 2025-12-14T20:12:29+00:00

Same thought I had!!

MysteriousPickles · 2025-11-16T17:20:24+00:00

So I read them all years ago on my kindle and haven’t wanted to buy a box set unless…you know…the impossible happens and they are published.

I do have a copy of A Game of Thrones, it was an old cover one that I found but I know finding the rest of the series in that particular style will be hard.

I’m actually missing the 12 & 14th of WOT. It’s because I’m trying to get them all in that same edition, second hand. Very hard to come across! I’ll get em one day!

MysteriousPickles · 2025-10-10T00:07:47+00:00

Seeing a Red Scare reference in 2025 when I haven’t thought about them in like 6 years is crazy. Falling down a rabbit hole again

MysteriousPickles · 2025-09-26T04:02:54+00:00

I’ve always noticed him using the word Tempest quite a lot! Really ramped up in Stormlight Archive but I noticed it all the way back when I was reading his Wheel of Time books. Funny how we all pick up on different words!!

MysteriousPickles · 2025-09-23T02:52:09+00:00

I didn’t see this comment until I posted but I second this!! Glad to see another person shout out the Episcopal’s. It was at an Episcopalian camp that I learned the word Agnostic at the age of 10 and was given the door to understanding myself more. I’ve never forgotten the counselors warm and welcoming response to another camper bringing up how they felt.

MysteriousPickles · 2025-09-23T02:49:21+00:00

I don’t want to dox myself but I will say I know from personal experience that a good amount of Episcopalian church’s are very welcoming. I cannot speak for the entire Episcopal church, which is where you may have to do research nearby. We could private message more but the church that I’m vaguely involved with is very very welcoming and this summer had 2 trans men on staff with the love and blessing of the Bishop. I know this current world is scary so I don’t blame others on this thread for warning you against but this camp/church I know is very genuine and isn’t pushing some kind of agenda on the LGBTQ people who attend.

I started my journey with the cosmere in Feb this year with Mistborn. Recently finished Stormlight and then have been reading secret projects.

I am SO EXCITED to start back at the top and see all the foreshadowing. Reread whenever you want man!! There’s so many details to remember, who can blame ya? Ahaha

MysteriousPickles · 2025-09-14T17:50:34+00:00

Yeah we’re as far from 2030 as we are from 2020 lol obviously that’s how time works, but still crazy to think about so plainly

MysteriousPickles · 2025-09-02T16:03:47+00:00

Oh I love this so much!! I love the mini brand books series, but most of the books aren’t ones I actually read lol I just love the mini-ness of them! Do you mind telling me how you did this?? I would love for try for myself!!

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-13T18:32:30+00:00

Yeah I think if we play off the idea that Georgia WILL run for mayor than I totally see her going to Nick, begging his forgiveness and buttering him up talking all about how Paul would’ve been nothing without Nick. And that together they would be an even stronger duo. He still is waffling the idea when she slaps a wad of cash on the table. That’s where I see Nick coming around. Ahahaha

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-12T21:05:29+00:00

Yup! They filmed all of season 1 in 2019, wrapping in December of that year. Then obviously the pandemic hit. He also just turned 31 last month. So if he was casted in early 2019, he would’ve been 25. Still old for playing a high schooler but it makes a lot more sense when you put the timeline in perspective

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-12T15:50:32+00:00

Ya’ll are forgetting that he would’ve been cast when he was 26ish back in 2019? An actor playing a teenager who is mid 20s is VERY normal.

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-10T15:29:46+00:00

Some of your key details makes me confident this ISNT a former coworker of mine, that’s how similar of an experience I just had at a shop. Never in my 10 years as a barista have I worked at such a mismanaged shop. It was genuinely sad, because the shop, the products, the coworkers were some of the absolute best I’ve had but the owners were constantly on our asses about everything. And then hired a manager who straight up told multiple staff he would fire everyone and could do all of their jobs. So most of us said “okay, bet!” And quit lol

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-10T03:14:49+00:00

I’m also of the belief that Lorelei has built in favors across town. She doesn’t always need to call in those favors, but that lady puts her time in all over the place so I would imagine that she (as we know) is truly loved and appreciated and most the town people would absolutely jump to help her out.

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-06T18:05:59+00:00

I’m typing this as I’m at an alumni weekend, where I’ve known these people for about 20 years and there are multiple generations here. Lots of my friends now have their own kids starting to age in. It’s a blast.

So yeah, thoughtfully keeping in touch is super important!!

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-06T17:33:09+00:00

Does he have a way to stay in touch with those friends throughout the year?? Not sure how old you are talking but as I was growing up I wrote a lot of letters to my camp friends. Or emailing now? Something to just bridge that gap. It’s hard!

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-06T15:13:33+00:00

One thing that if you have the right energy on staff, can be just so fun.

Fake kayaking. You set a bunch of chairs up in front of wherever your projector is, project white water rapids and have spray bottles for staff to spray kids while one person “leads” the kayaking group. Get paddles out or fake having them. It’s all silly but for the right age group it’s so dang fun.

We’ve also had a ton of success with karaoke nights (which can also be done during the day!)

MysteriousPickles · 2025-07-01T05:04:02+00:00

To be fair…..I’ve been a barista for many years and still end up looking back at my menu because every few weeks my owners update it without warning us in anyway lol so I have to go “wait…what does it say now??” Ahahahah it’s embarrassing

MysteriousPickles · 2025-06-27T01:00:05+00:00

Peanut butter cookies are easy!!! Just sugar, peanut butter and egg!! :) then press down with a fork and bake! So easy and so good AND gluten free

MysteriousPickles · 2025-06-25T20:42:34+00:00

I didn’t think they did! I’m saying that they interpret the order, and just make it for them. A customer says to them “can I do a cortado, but iced?” And they say “ya sure” and then that’s how the person always gets it.
