The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 (UK Pace) - thread 2

[CruCru]

Hi all

Here is the next thread for those who are watching The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 on Channel 4. Please don't put any spoilers on this - the other thread (for those in other countries who are watching ahead of the UK) is www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3239228-Handmaids-Tale-Season-2-SPOILERS-VIEWING-AHEAD-OF-UK-SREENING.

How long before Waterford tries it on with Nicks wife

That Bride is going to be trouble.

Is it that she doesn’t want her baby born into this world? Would she not want to protect it? Oh it’s difficult

When are they going to find / help June???

Joyce Maybe something will be done if the Waterford's do go to Canada. Moira will know who they are, and that might spur Luke on to do something?

Is she hoping she will bleed to death?

Or that the baby won't be able to be saved?

Oh I don't know why she's keeping quiet.

I suppose she doesn't want Serena to start beating her again

That was an interesting scene.

I thought of the concentration camps - were there moments like that in such an awful place?

Good contrast between the two marriage ceremonies.

I wonder what Nick will do on 'marriage night'.

I wonder whose the girls are...

Are they daughters of wives, Martha's daughters? Who?

Children taken when the regime began I suppose

What just happened?!

Oh god now she defintely will be blamed

Going out in the rain with no proper attire. God punished you child!

The mothers of the brides were watching the ceremony.

I wonder if June fell or if she jumped?

Offred

This is sooo going to be a cliff hanger and we will have to wait and see next week isn’t it

I doubt she jumped or fell...didn't she say right back in the beginning of episode one in series one that the window can't be fully opened

When Serena was talking to Nick's bride she said that her family has a farm and her mother got the bus with her. I imagine there was a census and all children are instructed in the ways of Gilead, then girls of puberty age would be rounded up regularly.

Poor June. I'm furious that May Day didn't try harder to get her out.

I don't think it could be opened at all before, but Aunt Lydia said she needed air now.

But perhaps she did walk outside and collapse.

This is episode 5. Everyone is raving about Ep 6.

Perhaps this is what brings June back.

She's back.

Welcome back June!

Was this the first episode with no June narration?

Wow I'm surprised she managed to stay pregnant

Most women would lose their baby with all that blood

I wondered why Serena was so happy to see June awake and it's because her baby is still alive.

Not for June's wellbeing of course not.
