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:

She is going to turn

Is he going to whip her or rape her?

He is one evil shit

Fred Is a c**t

The letters!

Male violence. Always used to subjugate women who transgress boundaries.

OK Fred is seriously creepy

Shit.

How many times did he hit her? And all the time staring at June. He enjoyed it.

Why do they still have those blasted letters

Awful.

The letters need to be given to the right person instead of playing pass the parcel from house to house

I can't remember where the letters first came from? They were all from Handmaids, right - exposing what is really going on in Gilead?

Well if that doesn't turn Serena I don't know what will

And Nick - using his 'maleness' to intimidate Eden.

This show is amazing - the character and portrayal of Serena and how she has been viewed through the series is so complicated.

Fred is just a shit.

I wonder if this is one of the last straws for Serena?

God I hate him, I hate him, I really fucking hate him.

He took too much pleasure in that

As if it took her up until to this point to realise it was a bad deviation.

I'm devastated for her but also want to slap her for helping it all happen

Decision*

Those letter were from May Day weren't they? To June from Moira ("here's your damn package, blessed day bitch") and Rita found them behind the bath before June was 'taken' and the end of season 1.
I guess she gave them to Nick and Nick knows mayday has gone quiet so is bidding his time. I want the letters to get to Canada somehow...

I also want serena and June to conspire to have Fred killed, but I guess they would be passed onto another commander or worse.

Great acting!

I hope he hasn't broken whatever it was that was building between them.

June has just quoted Margaret Atwood hasn't she?

I wonder if they will plot together to kill him?

Hygge yes she has. Bit of a mindfuck!

Be careful what you wish for Serena - she wanted this life and now look what's happened.

Rita gave the letters back to June when June came 'home' after being 'kidnapped'.

June was trying to burn them and Nick took them from her.

I just wanted her to open that door.
