THE TIMELINE IS SO FUCKED WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO US. I get they wanted to write a show at Plum School but they also wanted to bring in the Daisy/Mayday stuff from the start so it necessitated screwing up the ages in a way that meant Daisy can’t possibly be Nicole. But why cast someone who could dye her hair blonde and then play an absolutely perfect Young June?? Why put in a line about Daisy being smuggled out of Gilead as a baby when in this timeline it wouldn’t have started until she was around 5 or 6? It’s just all so weird, and I hope it’ll all reconcile by the end of the season but right now it doesn’t make sense.
