The Roundtable is definitely spoiler free for all the different actresses shows

I think June is going to have to try and escape. Again.

Otherwise she will have the baby and then be passed on to another family as a new handmaiden?

I feel for Nick too - as a PP says he is stuck isn't he. He wants to help June but if anything happens and he/they get caught Eden will likely cop for the punishment too. I'm not 100% certain that Eden is not going to cause trouble though - perhaps inadvertently. There does seem to be quite a lot of focus on her to say she hasn't much of a story atm.

I think innoticed June called the baby she but Fred seemed to say he not she? Need to rewatch to check. Did they find out at the scan or is he projecting that he wants a son?

I just don't understand why Serena was ever in favour of Giliad.

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 17/07/2018 22:38

I understand why Serena was in favour

She didn't think the rules would apply to her

Just lesser women who needed her authority

She very much thought she'd have a seat at the table

Hey please could whoever starts thread 4 in this series please include a link to thread #1 in the opening - I asked for this on thread #2 but don't think anyone saw it. Thank you!

Roussette · 17/07/2018 22:42

yes sea I've always found it odd that Elizabeth Moss is a scientologist and she has defended it in the past when it's been likened to Gilead.

colouringinagain · 17/07/2018 22:43

Yes sea totally. Seems like a total contradiction.

Ginger1982 · 17/07/2018 22:45

MrStark - good point!

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 17/07/2018 23:04

I imagine she thought she'd be Minister For Women and be in charge of "Godly Behaviour" and preaching The Word to women about their place just as she did before

Apologies for the spoilers on the wiki page! I literally just looked at the map, I didn't read through. Buzzfeed UK put an article out last weekend about the show, I clicked through, it warned of spoilers, clicked off and the first comment underneath was a spoiler....I won't go into it, I'm not sure how it happens thankfully, but now each episode I'm going to be anticipating it.

They don't know the sex of the child, but June thinks it's a girl.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 18/07/2018 21:35

Just caught up on last week. Loved June's 'fuck that' at the end.

Frazzled2207 · 21/07/2018 08:26

It is very intriguing what's going to happen with Eden.
Agree Nick should show her a bit more kindness- it's not her fault she's in her situation. She could turn out to be an ally potentially.

Bringonspring · 22/07/2018 21:01

Ready!!!

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 22/07/2018 21:12

Signing in!

Woohoo Emily! Fair play to ya!

EmmaC78 · 22/07/2018 21:26

Bringon - We are all on Thread 4 if you want to join us.

Waltzingmatilda65 · 28/07/2018 08:59

Just wondering DH has come home with some question about HMT what are your thoughts?
how many handmaids do you think were killed in the explosion?
WhT is the birth rate like generally in Gilead given only top people of HM?
Are all HM’s gender traitors and marriage breakers?

NynaeveSedai · 28/07/2018 10:30

Hi waltzing
'Proper' women of child bearing are wives, only 'bad' women were forced to be handmaids.
