I was not expecting that guy to turn like that. Me either! I was so annoyed that he did. It was hard to watch the scenes with Caleb since we know he didn’t make it.

I'm almost done with the fourth episode. I'm loving it so far!

episode four ugggh my stomach dropped when Steven made his request. How can he express disbelief about sex slaves in America and then immediately demand that one of them blow him in order to stay safe?! All the men in this world are f*cking pathological.
I cheered when Rita told Fred they’re not friends and then ignored his defense that at least he was never cruel to her! Tell Serena off next!
This brings me to my extreme dislike of Tuello always trying to help Serena out. It *really* annoys me that he is so nice to her when he knows full well the many human rights abuses she’s committed. She’s just as much of a POS as Fred. It made sense when he was trying to butter her up in order to get her to switch sides and give evidence against Fred but now that she’s in custody, he should drop the Mr. Nice Guy act and treat her like the scum she is. I seriously hope she ends up in prison for life with her baby taken away from her. #fittingending
I liked the Janine centric episode. I will be so f*cking pissed if she doesn’t make it to Canada, lol. [\spoiler] How Serena could have any other ending to her story would be beyond belief. She is a criminal. Her current situation does not absolve her of her crimes. Period.

I get angry every time I see Serena in such nice accommodations and treated so well when she's supposed to be in custody now. Of course the contrast of how she's treated when facing criminal charges and how June gets thrown in torture chambers for just trying to be free is something else.
I was really proud of Rita for not getting sucked into her BS and how she handled dealing with the commander. He and Serena are so manipulative.

YES WTF They mentioned cell & for a sec I was like, "wait, she's actually in a cell" NOPE, some glorified jail hotel room. So ridiculous.

I’m really not understanding why they are in those types of ‘cells’. I guess it fits a certain aesthetic, but it annoys me.

I was not expecting that guy to turn like that. It was a real snap back to reality. So many men are trash and that isn’t exclusive to Gilead.

I’m really not understanding why they are in those types of ‘cells’. I guess it fits a certain aesthetic, but it annoys me. I think she's being held in some type of embassy setting because she is the US government's chief witness against Fred? Of course, as viewers who are privy to the characters' backstories, it's strange to us that they don't seem to realize that she was just as big an architect of Gilead as Fred, if not more so (let's not forget that "fertility as a national resource" was her big idea). Maybe we are supposed to see the sexism there in their assumptions about her (with the implication being that men are pretty much trash everywhere, in and out of Gilead, lol)? The one thing I really don't care of is the romantic tinge that Tuello seems to view her in, as he should really know better. Isn't he some type of spy or ex spy? He was the one who was working on recruiting her so he should know all about her history. I do think the writers are setting her up for a big smack down later this season. There is no way they're going to let her ride off into the sunset scot free with everything she ever wanted. It would be nice if she and Fred are extradited back to Gilead and she is forced to become a Handmaid now that they know she is fertile

I hope the writers go total wish fulfillment with her character and she makes it to Canada and is reunited with her little girl. I want them to go all out with her happy ending.

So....here's where I say I'm not cut out for a life on the run in fear. This also applies to a zombie apocalypse. I'm mentally prepared to sacrifice myself in martyr flames instead of going through *waves around* all that.

I hope the writers go total wish fulfillment with her character and she makes it to Canada and is reunited with her little girl. I want them to go all out with her happy ending. Me too. I was thinking "what the hell June?" when she set off for the west. Seems like north is the most obvious direction. Although maybe that was a wise choice as they'd probably concentrate more forces on looking for them in the north. After the shit they pulled with Hannah it would be even harder for me, if I were June, to leave without her knowing they might use her as a bargaining chip again. However, June doesn't have much power staying there. Especially if she's not physically willing to carry arms and fight. I wonder if that's the direction she'll go this season. Moving from passive resistance to physical resistance. She handed the knife to the wife at the farmhouse, maybe the next step is her wielding the weapon and that's what she gets out of the group where she currently resides.

Skimming the thread I think has solidified me being over this show. I prefer my torture porn with willing participants. I think it’s heavy on trauma at the start and it will turn into revenge and things we want to see for the rest of the season.

They've been picked up for a 5th season, so they could drag this out even longer.

Finally watched ep 4.
I don't like a lot of the June sections this episode. It just doesn't make sense to me and is frustrating. Like there are lights on in the milk container but it's pitch black when they jump in? How long were they in the milk container? How does June suddenly have the strength to get out of the container line she doesn't have that injury? Why isn't June dizzy like Jeannie from not eating while on the train? How long have they been without food?
I did like to see her finally get out of the red. It was very nice to see her feel the change/chance of being free. I like seeing Chicago and how war torn it is. I want more back story and rebel/survivor storylines.
Rita broke my heart. I hope she finds her family. Also, I'm glad she told Fred off and gave the ultrasound to him in an "F U" way to Serena. For a moment there, I thought Rita was going to stay with Serena/witness. I'm so happy she didn't.

Episode 5 Janine! I don't know if I can handle it if they kill her off.
The preview made me want to throw things. June needs to give up trying to get Hannah this way. She's never going to get her like this. Get yourself to safety and then figure out a plan.

yes! This episode ends so great but then that preview! Fucking June, man. She needs to start being smarter. Can you imagine Nick’s reaction if he found out that he staged a cease fire during a war to get her out of the country for the third frickin time and she tried to go back again anyway? Lol I’m glad this season is moving so fast and they’re not making us wait until the last few episodes for June to make it out

{Spoiler}1) Janine better be alive dammit.
2) The preview didn't play automatically for me so I looked it up. June, honey, if you don't get it that you cannot help Hannah from the inside I don't know what to tell you. You just saw a ton of the resistance get killed, you were tortured yet again, and your only friend left might be dead. You have crucial information you can give to the outside forces. Team up with them and use it.

Nick is getting too comfortable. Also, wouldn’t he also have a new wife he has to try to impregnate right now? I’m not understanding his level of power.

I was anticipating something bad for Janine but have everything crossed. I know it’s so unrealistic but the ending had me fucked up. I haven’t seen a trailer for the next episode but after my initial feelings already knew what June was going to do, and I’m preemptively mad.

okay, I watched the trailer. I figured Moira wouldn’t be ‘allowed’ to bring June, but they’d work a way around it, so that makes sense. June not wanting to go is expected. The episode after that is titled “Home”, so I’m really hoping she does end up coming to Canada. Isn’t she all cleaned up in the original trailer they put out? I would assume she’s safe at some point this season.
