[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:

That makes a lot of sense, Melody, I really like your analysis.

I think those letters that Nick took off June (when she was in Offred mode, burning them) are going to be key. I reckon Eden will find them.

I wonder whether the lack of clarity on the name/identity of Odette is supposed to be confusing, to indicate the complicated picture, lack of open and honest information or intelligence, and manipulation of facts in times of war and societal chaos.

But she's not allowed to read so if she does find them, she can't admit to knowing what they are.

She doesn't have to read them, she just needs to give them to someone.

I think Nick realised he was fucked when commander Price was killed as that was who he was reporting back to and who’d promised to reassign him. Fred must be most powerful commander now

Nick might still be reassigned? Then I think June could steal Eden's clothes and she and nick could drive off into the night/Canada as legit husband and wife. Eden could stay at home, killed off drugged or something.

Then June would have a dilemma choosing Nick or Luke.

Yes, that's true.

Looking forward to seeing what tonight's episodes holds but also knowing I'm going to have weird dreams!

A mixture of excited and dread - like a rollercoaster.

Placemarking because I'm sick of hunting down this thread each Sunday

It finished this week in the States didn’t it?

It needs more hope and empowerment or I will struggle to be on board for Season 3 if I’m honest

I’m hoping it moves a little faster this week.l, it’s awesome but could get a little dull at this pace

No, last episode screens this coming Wednesday

Subtitles on ready for my weekly fix. Looking forward to the discussion later.

Checking in. Slightly nervous.

I love how every little thing in this show has meaning!

It's little touches towards each other - not massive points to be made but little chinks in each others armour as they talk to each other.

Ooh so he is going to Canada!

Serena isn't liking being left out now.

That's not going to go down well. Thanks love now get out my office!

Actually, neither of them are happy to see him home.

Eden is trouble.

Wasn't their house made (martha?) shot? In the street in the last episode?

Different Martha, from the house of Ofglen's commander I thought.

Janine May the force be with you.

May the force be with you!
