If the Commander treas anyone as intellectually inferior, I think it’s Serena Joy. He feeds her tiny tidbits of information of the outside world–his world–only because they’re married and I think that’s part of the unwritten code in this world (in the perfect world they envisioned, not the one that is actually in effect) but the moment she starts to have ideas, he shuts her down and walks out.
So I watched the new one last night, and I’m so curious about what you thought about the backstory there. I thought it was fascinating — many of the flashbacks are so interesting on this show.
