Episode seven is the first one where I felt like I was having a panic attack.

Honestly, I don't even know what I would do if someone ripped my child from my arms. Where do the kids go? Why would they take them?

I read the book and I have watched almost all the show, only like halfway through the latest episode though. I like it a lot so far, I think I may actually like the show better because it seems like there is better character development.

It might end up being different on the show anyway.

They briefly showed a group of children at what looked like an orphanage type thing. My theory is that children of fertile women are "kept" and then become handmaids when they reach puberty or whatever age they've determined to be appropriate. Otherwise they'd run out of handmaids. No idea if that's accurate. I haven't read the book yet so I'm just speculating.

I think I might read the book, so I at least know what is going to happen. grumpycat- I think I assumed that the fertility issue was due to an illness that wasn't passed down. So, I figured that the children of the hand maids would be fertile.

Did you all hear that they are planning like 5 seasons for this show? It's really makes me wonder how far into the future they will take this story.

I was mind of wondering what would happen because the book was kind of... Open ended? But they have covered most of what happens in the book already.

I figured it had been a while cause they had training and then like people said had to be compliant etc. You see some of them pregnant. I don't know I didn't have a time frame in my mind but I thought it had been some time.

So this episode and last episode were the most interesting to me because none of it was in the book. So I didn't know what was going to happen. I FREAKING WANT HIM TO FIND HER AND GET HER OUT!!!

*going to watch now* be back in an hour! ETA my thoughts about the episode {Spoiler} This may be an UO but I don't know how much I like Luke (or June when she is with him). I feel like part of it is because there is such a stark difference in her around him (obviously). I feel like she's so much more of a badass in the present than she was in the past. Even if she is just a badass in her thoughts/sleeping with Nick. I am totally bummed there are only 3 more episodes in the season though! I was thinking about this too and I don't know how much of it is that she's different now because of all she's been through, more biting commentary, etc or if this episode we were seeing her how Luke sees her. She's always very protective mama bear like backlit like an angel and it's more like that's how he remembers her but maybe she had just as much a edge then too.

pepper, that's true in this past episode. I can see that being the case as it was based on his perspective/memories.

NamasteBirches , for this weeks episode... {Spoiler} I'm glad Moira is alive. I'm surprised June didn't say anything about the possibility of Luke being alive. I wonder if Nick is going to turn in Waterford?
