The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3 Recap: Baby Nichole, June’s Flight Plan and the Waterfords’ Fall

Warning: contains major spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale seasons 1-3. After the misery of season two, which slouched from one cruelty to the next, The Handmaid’s Tale season three owed viewers some victory. Broadly, that’s what it delivered. We saw Fred and Serena’s marriage implode, June make new alliances in the Lawrence house, and cracks begin to appear in Gilead.  First, the regime lost baby Nichole and Emily over the Canadian border, and then it lost the Waterfords – now both under arrest and facing trial for their actions.

Microsoft Flight Simulator Review: Around the World on a PC

I’m going to level with you. I review video games, and as Microsoft Flight Simulator’s title clearly indicates, it isn’t exactly a game, at least in the traditional sense. It’s a simulator that tries to get as close to the real thing as possible — and it’s a massive one, to boot.
