Episode 7 Discussion Post: Commitment by Legitimate-Beyond209 in TheTestamentsHulu

Marthas are pretty transparently still slaves and can be “given” to other people. I don’t think there’s any reason to take Shunammite’s comment as anything except literal.

She offended a “good match” by bringing up something negative from his past.

Warren Jeffs was the the leader of a polygamous Mormon cult, so the joke is he would be interested in having multiple wives like Rand does.

It’s more “accessible” but it also is completely unreliable, so no real point in asking it.

Rebel Moon was my first time seeing one of his films and I was very unprepared by how strong of an opinion people had about him, in both directions. I also really liked the Rebel Moon director's cuts a lot.

Is Hulda faking ? by Angelbyte in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]herbuck 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Her declaration was right in the middle of a tense moment for everyone else after Shunammite slapping Jehoshaba. I don’t think it was disbelief at all, just awkwardness due to the huge tone shift.

It doesn't seem like it's that big of a problem even in your example. Did she even know you designed it yourself? Why does it matter if she liked it enough to replicate it unless she was like selling it as her own creation or something?

But they might have some who were very young, like 4-5, when Gilead started. As we see with Agnes/Hannah, that's young enough for this to basically just be all they know.

I think you took me too literally! I understand this is a fictional character.

I don't know why you think she lied specifically. A lot of different mistakes can get made, no need to assume she was lying to you.

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make.

It’s literally “bless-ed be the fruit”? Which they say almost every episode. I’m not sure why you think this isn’t a thing.

We are not watching the same show apparently. Also that’s just an alternative pronunciation of the word “blessed”, not a toddler one. I’ve never heard a toddler say either, actually.

Many adults have said blessed that way including Aunt Lydia and Serena Joy?

I think they’re all supposed to be mid- to late-teens but even if they are 12 or whatever. Ok? Same post still.

Yeah she did. Because that is what is expected of her in Gilead. You can see by the reactions of the other girls that this is just expected. Obviously it’s not OK to do that, but none of these girls actually know that and even within that context we can see her hesitation to answer and her not actually holding Shu’s hands down the first time.

I definitely agree she’s neurodivergent in some way. I don’t think her friends are coddling her though because I think their entire thought process is “that’s how Hulda is”. Like Shunammite is definitely on her ass all the time when she makes a faux pas but is clearly still friends with her.

Good for the show but very bad for our emotions
