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.

Pulls up chair. And cushion to hide behind.

Getting my subtitles ready for tonight's episode.

It made the plot so much easier to follow when I could actually make out what was being said!

Thanks for the reminder oldowl. Subtitles are on.

The Handmaid's Tale contains scenes that viewers SHOULD find disturbing.

I wonder what's happened to Nick?

Oh no what a dreadful choice!

I'm not having any trouble hearing the dialogue, but I am finding it all quite relentless compared to the first series. There seems to be less hope.

Love the way she's speaking. Saying so much with her tone.

Will we have the Alexa advert again?

I'm not the only one who needs the subtitles then!

Signing in.

What incredible strength june has not to fucking nut serena.

June has so much strength in this.

Interesting to see the power shifting in and our this episode. Aunt Lydia seems to be top dog right now

Aunt Lydia has a lot of power...

*In and out

Poor June having to sit there hearing "you're glowing" being told to Serena.

They really do live in an alternate reality don't they?

The poor handmaids are just walking talking incubators

Commander Waterford is angling for a trip to Canada. I wonder if that’s June’s chance to escape. Will she try and persuade him to take her? Or stowaway in the plane somehow? I cant imagine she’ll have much chance but it must mean something that he is trying to go to Canada.

I'm curious as to how she fares against the different male categories. She definitely holds the cards against the other women, but considering the general subservience of women how does she line up against the commanders?

I guess she's useful as, being a woman, she can 'guide' the women in a way men can't?

I've missed some - is there any sign of Nick?

My god this is just so sick.

Nick was in the kitchen earlier. He didn't say anything.

Well that was utterly fucked up

I'm surprised June hasn't had her tounge cut out like the other handmaid did/

The guardians seem to be of lower standing. Moira walked straight through when pretending to be Aunt Elizabeth.
The handmaids are ro be revered thouh. supposedly!
