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:

Maybe it was the public reaction which did the trick.

How many more episodes does anyone know?

Who will Waterford take his anger out on?

Omg, the timing of this episode with Trump’s visit is perfect!

I thought Nik would stay. They are going to know it's him

3 more after tonight

Thanks BG

This has been a great episode. Because Gilead has had some payback

Oooo 3 more episodes!!!

I am bored of it now.
First series I Literally couldn't breathe for the tension. Now I am flicking through newspaper, ate a ice cream and posted on mn...

I worry for June now. Fred's not known for his emotional maturity when things don't go his way.

I wonder if Nick will tel June about his conversation with Luke?

Written proof over vocal?

Being able to compare some refugees stories with those who escaped.

Such as a husband up in Canada has a wife in gilead who is a handmaid. Suddenly we have a letter with her name on it detailing everything that has happened and proves what he says

Eden knowing Nick had those letters is going to be the key that gives him away I think.

Has June given up on ever getting Hannah out?

Yvonne Strahovski is so good in this role.

Four more episodes still to go!

I think it’s more that now the Canadian public have been made aware of what’s happening after the letters went viral and the government can’t ignore millions of people. I imagine the amount of escaped handmaids was relatively small and didn’t have a huge voice before.

This season is definitely not as good as the first one. It’s stretched the limits of believability too far for me.

Plus, I imagine the vast majority of the refugees were those who escaped prior to the real shit hitting the fan. When it was just ‘small’ stuff like women losing their jobs. Not many would know about the later set up re handmaids/Jezebel’s/the colonies/ritualised rapes.

OK that's it for me... A driver is allowed to go into sleeping handmaid's bedroom at night... Really??????

Yes 4 more sorry

These are the bits I find stretching.

Nick able to wander about inside at night, upstairs to June's room without being heard.

In that big creaky house with the wooden floors and all those stairs.

And some nutter with a gun hating on the unwoman who might still be on the loose somewhere downstairs.

It happens too often for them not to be discovered.

Why doesn’t she ask nick to protect the baby too? It’s his child, he would be the first one to want it safe.

Like my DP always says.....it's only a TV series!

If everyone's asleep I'm sure it's perfectly feasible for people to creep,about the house.

I almost feel like Nick was saying goodbye. He must know he's in the shit now?

Suddenly we have a letter with her name on it detailing everything that has happened and proves what he says

But some of the refugees were handmaids/Martha’s/etc. Not husbands telling of their wives but actual women who had actually lived it, shown the scars of their ear tags and missing eyes, and forced Caesarian sections. Why on earth would a letter that could be totally fake be believed over those women standing there in person telling it?

I bet Eden saw him in June's room, the light was on, she could have seen their shadows.

Is she going to try to escape again before the end of the series - I'm not sure my heart can take it!

I wanted Serena to find a phone number inside the matches and she's gone and burnt them now - she's really made her bed now.
