Fridge Brilliance: Given the deeply misogynistic culture of Gilead, it's no surprise that they didn't tear down the notoriously phallic Washington Monument, but instead co-opted it into a symbol of their own faith.
Fridge Horror: All those beautiful multiracial children in the Winslow household had to come from somewhere.
Narm: A lot of of people have found the Washington Handmaids' mouths being wired shut this. It can cause all kinds of medical problems in a person to have your mouth forced to stay shut, including preventing them from eating and cleaning their teeth to prevent infections, when these are allegedly the women whose health is vital as the only women likely to give birth. While it could be another sign of Gilead not thinking things through, for most people it crosses the line into being too ridiculous.
Nightmare Retardant: As noted above, once one starts to think about the logistics of wiring women's mouths shut, it takes away from the supposed horrific visual.
