At this point I'm rooting for June to die.

Why does Gilead even give a flying gently caress about June at this point? Why do they keep trying to "save" her? Just let her go, carpet bomb her, whatever. This stupid cat and mouse game is tiring and just results in everyone else dying and for what purpose?

If June would just... Get hit by a car and die, then the show would focus on the politics (internal and geopolitical) it'd be way more interesting.

Actually an episode I finally really liked. This should have been the end of season 2 in my opinion, but finally we're getting the story moving forwards somewhat.

Interesting. I hated the episode, felt like it barely moved the story forward, and was mostly ugly crying. A full episode resulted in June stubbornly realizing she can't bum rush her way to her kid, Moira getting hurt for helping June (lol the entire the of the show), and Luke may or may not be an rear end in a top hat.

Can't wait for Season 9 when Janine leads the resistance from within and takes down Gilead, with June extremely pissy and jealous.

Gilead has a super powerful military. Also computers are basically no where to be found.

Still seemed like a huge plot blunder for Gilead to catch June and the rest of the handmaids on the farm, then just but them all right back to work. Pack them into a van with ONE guard.

Chicago is home of The Resistance, which consist of small groups of survivors with small arms. Impressive how they stand up to Gilead, especially being (presumably) landlocked/surrounded.

I hate this show now. I will hate watch the rest of the season.

Do we ever even see any of the "working" class? Seems like everyone is a commander, house wife, Martha, handmaid, military, aunt, or a unique player like a one off doctor. Maybe that is all there is, the place feels totally empty. No one lives there except the crazies?

Oh right, wasn't that early S1? They've long abandoned any of that.

You presume wrongly. Chicago is on Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes, and the Chicago and Calumet Rivers link to both the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River Basin. These water connections are what made the city so important as a trade and industrial center in the first place. I assume smugglers from Canada ply the Great Lakes and supply the Chicago rebels.

Don't get me wrong, the show's still bad.

Emphasis on surrounded.

are they ever going to address the many handmaidens and marthas june led to their deaths?

She has the biggest body county in the show.

I get the scene - I guess. She wants to feel in control, specifically regarding her reproductive aspects and sexuality.

Is this what they meant when they said "things happen" this season? More rape, but with a twist!

There's Nazis in America now and loving Donald Trump still gets like 30% support. Yea it's not hard to imagine a small group of biblical worshippers showed up.

Now we get to watch June get people around her hurt outside of Gilead. How unique.

What the gently caress do the Canadians care what happened to Waterford on Gilead soil? Canada gonna extradite people to Gilead?

Remember when they captured the runaway handmaids and they only sent Aunt Lydia and one driver to escort them back?
