The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 (UK Pace) - thread 3

[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:

@pemba that could be a flashback, could be about the previous handmaiden who hung herself? Or as you said a flashback to when June escaped.

Although, Someone else also mentioned in the previous thread there was another scene not yet shown with Fred, in a car with crowds outside. Again could be a flashback. Or could be he is safe and sound and more powerful than ever with all other senior commanders wiped out...

Will find out soon hurrah

I am finding these threads brilliant ... getting so much from everybody’s contributions.
I can’t wait for tonight’s episode

Probably repeating what has been said before but ... I am a terrible binge watcher
I binge watched the first series of handmaids and always orange is the new black
It used to leave me disturbed
I am finding one episode a week much far easier to cope with .. its amazing tv with superb performances but it truly is harrowing.
I genuinely need time to recover each week .

I can’t watch until after work tomorrow!!

I’m going to be agonising about it all day!

Under his eye!

I think this will unite Serena and June, if Fred or dead or injured they will need to work together to keep their future with the baby safe. Better the devil you know...

I also think they will bring Janine back as she hasn't been in the colonies long and has proved herself "fruitful". I'd love them to bring back Emily but perhaps she is too far gone into radiation poisoning to risk a healthy baby?

Even Radio Times has done some spoilers about tonight's episode. It all sounds a bit gruesome.

sticks fingers in ears la la la la la la la la la la la

Yes there were definitely spoilers in the trailer involving scenes not yet seen

I am on pins for 9pm 👀

Goddamn Radio times. They spoiled the red wedding for me

Oh and regarding whether Gilead has a paper, for that they’d need a press, and the Boston Globe is an abandoned shell so doubtful

I still want answers about how far reaching Gilead is

DashOfMagic

That’s one of the reasons I was so glad to read the book (Got 3) first. It’s absolutely impossible to come to GOT fresh now without it being spoiled in some way by comments gathered from media coverage

I am not going to be able to watch it till Friday so EVERYONE STOP TALKING.

Oh sorry to hear that Sparkwood.

respectful silence

Feeling genuinely nervous about tonight's episode!

Here we go!!!!!

Can't wait!

I am being made to watch love Island

Those coffins are red!

Aunt Lydia looks devastated.

In their names...

Their names! Not their bloody ofcommander name!

For 1 moment, I thought those were the commanders
They were the Handmaid coffins.

More Handmaid's than Commanders

And nobody knows Ofglen's real name.

Why have so many pp been hung??

Why have so many pp been hung

Possible involvement?

It's what the Nazis did, it's what ISIS do

To send a message I guess, and to instill fear

Nicks protector (commander) is dead then?!

That's Nick's Commander gone, just as we thought last week.

He's not going to get on with the new one.
