The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 (UK Pace) - thread 5 - SPOILER ALERT

[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:

I think I’ll actually get to watch it live tonight. With wine.

Major panic here. The ariel has stopped working! Anyway, after much googling I have found an app to watch live TV online so I can breathe again - until 9pm when I expect my breath will be well and truly held for the entire episode.

Bugger I'm not going to make it home in time to watch live! Seen it already but enjoy reading the thread while it's on

I'm in bed but back to work after 6 weeks off. So may do my usual and fall asleep x

I am still angry with Nick,he let Eden down in every way, that poor young girl died because of him. He is should have played his part, however distasteful it was, her life vs his integrity. He knew that Eden had expectations of a wife, and he knew she was a vulnerable girl, and he had the power to keep them both safe. I’ve gone right off him after last week.

I really cannot see how this could stand up to 10 seasons. The whole idea of Gilead as a functioning state of sorts really doesn't stand up to too much scrutiny - I think the Canada episode with all its implausibilities showed that. Perhaps it was never meant to - I read somewhere (maybe here?!?) that Atwood had intended Gilead to be understood as a metaphor rather than literally. I reckon the 3rd series should be the last.

Why is this the night when DD will not sleep? Down every single night at 7/7.30. Tonight, still awake now.

Place marking.

I was abroad last Sunday, so did not catch-up until Wednesday. It has taken me the best part of a week to read this thread (from p9-32) as I could not look at it until after I had seen the episode.

I have the subtitles ready... they really help with the subtle dialogue and explain background noise etc.

Praise be it be a fab finale but not too many cliff hangers please!

I'm just about to put subtitles on ready!

It'll be good to get my Sunday evenings back!

But doesn't the episode go by quickly? It's the quickest hour ever....

Excited!

My kids are still up & watching the European championships

Should clarify, we only have 1 TV!

Oh no Celtic. That’s just typical. Thankfully, my youngest is asleep and my eldest two are in my room with chip, dip & Netflix. They think all of their Christmases have come at once! I’ll just have to go to sleep on a bed of Pringle crumbs!

Sitting with a glass of wine waiting eagerly for it to start, hoping my eldest two don’t start squabbling.

I’ve managed to avoid spoilers, though I’ve caught a glimpse of a few phrases.

Bit of a late poster, been catching up with the threads on here for the past few days, wish I'd found it earlier.
Can believe it's the finale tonight!
Watched the last episode with subtitles...so much better I seem to moss so much.

Here we go, got a beer to calm my nerves!

I'm here, ready, with a glass of wine. Bring it on!

Under his eye

No kids tonight either so I can actually watch it live!

We only have one TV too Hannah and it’s mine! Well tonight it is, from 9-10pm. THT takes priority!

Are either of you able to watch an iPad? I’ve sent my kids up to my room to watch TV on our iPad.

Here we go...!

Signing in!

GB took the Gold Maz, so I kicked them out straight after.

I have wine

Omg animal feed! Fucking bastards

Agree on subtitles and I normally hate them.

Can imagine how guilty they all feel.
