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:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3239228-Handmaids-Tale-Season-2-SPOILERS-VIEWING-AHEAD-OF-UK-SREENING

That's sooo annoying 😡

I have to say I indulged myself and went ahead and watched the rest of the episodes!!! BUT the thing I am disappointed in is that I am missing the excitement on this thread.

I really enjoyed sharing thoughts and ideas here so I'm disappearing until you have all caught up and will come back for some THMT chat!

Bloody Google has spoilered me again with a Metro article headline on my Google home page

That's so annoying. I'm almost afraid to switch on t'internet at the moment in case a spoiler pops up

It was my birthday, and my 12 year old son drew a Handmaid on my card.

Awwww.

Blessed be my womb fruit

Awww vva, that's lovely.

I love discussing it with the one DD who has seen it. The other will be catching up sometime and then we'll start chatting about it too!

viva that should read ! I'm eating lunch and typing at the same time as I'm starving

Me too! Exactly the same way. How are you supposed to avoid that? It's really irritating.

It’s a nightmare avoiding the spoilers.

I really hope that C4 Show season 3 at the same time as the US (and every other bloody country) next year. It’s such a pita being 5 weeks behind.

Googles new thing has pissed me off for a while now. Any major show and it has spoiler headlines, I have to quickly open something to avoid. If I do see something or a shitty story in a shitty newspaper it’s actually hard not to click. It pissed me off.

Pisses*

I wish they'd do what Sky Atlantic do with Game Of Thrones (and currently Sharp Objects) and simulcast it with a 2am showing, have it in then available on demand all day, and then a 9pm showing too, it's the only way these days and they've respected the fans enough to do it

Is Elizabeth Moss pregnant for real? This may have already been discussed so apologies if so.

I'm sure the woman who plays Serena is pregnant

She is @Sassenach85

Yvonne Strahovski

So excited for the episode tomorrow!

Penultimate episode tomorrow I think.

Yes is it Google that put out a major spoiler for me too. There was no avoiding it, it came up right under the search bar. SO annoyed!

As an aside, have you seen Jeff Sessions new "Religious Liberty Task Force" in the states?
When I read the book more years ago then I care to admit I thought it was amazing but just fiction (appreciate real for other countries at times but not happening in the US in modern times). Now can really see how it could just fall into place. It wouldn't even need to be a coup, Congress would bloody vote for it at this rate

We have guests arriving today. I really hope they are tired and go to bed early so I can watch it. I don’t think they are interested.

Praise be!

Like a PP, Google did a little spoiling for me by flashing an article with a compromising title onto my screen. I was savage but what can you do?!

I have a problem today. We’re at my ILs. There is ZERO chance of them wanting to watch it. Is there a way I can watch it live on my tablet/phone? I simply can’t wait a whole hour to watch on catch up.

So who do we think is in the car?

So who do we think is in the car?

Someone nearby responding to the shots she fired?

The Commander and Serena, with Aunt Lydia in tow. He will be looking out for any communication about events in the area of the house. Or someone coming on his behalf.

It's the first episode all season where she's not protected by her pregnancy...

Hoping that it's someone from Mayday come to rescue her. Perhaps Nick, or sent by Nick, or maybe the Mackenzies are secret Mayday sympathisers and their house is a stop on the underground railroad.

I even thought she might be near enough to the Canadian border for someone there to see, and mount a rescue - but I looked on google maps, and the distance is too far (it's about 3 and a half hours' drive from Boston to the border).

I have a history of over-optimism this season.

If Nick is back or has been found, the car will have Fred and Serena in it unfortunately.

psicat yes I noted the Sessions religious Liberty crap, let's hope that can be voted against, or the US are creeping their way to Gilead. He calls it 'freedom' and 'liberty' and is in fact quite the opposite. It's just to shore up the Trump cult base AFAIC. Religion and politics never mix. I loathe Sessions.

Looking forward to tonight followed by next week, I want my Sunday night back!
