This show is just getting worse and worse and that's a shame because it had so much promise. Nothing anyone does makes any sense. The plot of the season seems to be to have June stick out like a sore thumb in every scene and do a bunch of poo poo that would have her hauled off by the Eyes except they can't because apparently standing behind the Waterfords on video like she's about to be executed by ISIS is crucial to their diplomatic efforts. I don't know.

At the end of season 2 I was worried they'd go full Mockingjay and have to use a bunch of plot armor so they could show one woman magically toppling an entire society, but instead they used it all so June could go wherever she wants in other commander's houses and stand ten feet away from her fellow Handmaids while glaring at everyone.

Full Mockingjay/Spartacus would have been way better

Than what we actually got? Absolutely. But I would have preferred a small, sad story about June getting a small personal victory against society at great cost.

I'm having a real hard time suspending disbelief that they wouldn't have two armed guardians at the entrance of that room 24/7, considering babies and handmaids are their most valuable currency and June has to be the most infamous security liability in town by now.

for military guys these guys all really suck rear end at fighting.

Yeah, none of these guys were real soldiers. lol, Nick is like some sort of super famous war hero and the best he could get was being super upper echelon dude's personal spy and a job driving for a mid level ex-marketing exec. He couldn't even get promoted to commander or his own wife until he had leverage. Gilead doesn't give two shits about the people actually fighting for them.

Unless June made sure the kids she's saving have a biological parent in Canada, they're all gonna end up back in Gilead anyway.

And Lawrence obviously knows June let his wife die.

I assume she really has no idea how to shoot or else why the gently caress didn't she just return fire instead of throwing rocks or running away and getting shot.

So did the bartender ever get paid? Doesn't look like June was hauling a priceless art collection with her.
