Handmaid's Tale. EPISODE 9 (season 3). Channel 4, 04/08/19. UK pace. NO SPOILERS!

[OriginofSpecies]

This is the thread for Episode 9 (season 3) of The Handmaid's Tale.

We are watching on Channel 4, UK pace and have only seen episodes 1 - 8 so far.

Please, NO SPOILERS.

I can't believe we're up to Episode 9 already! I hope it all starts coming together in the next five episodes.

"They've flowered, how lovely!"

Weren’t a lot of the male gynie doctors hung because they also practised abortions and such like?

I thought the care of the handmaids was down to the Aunts

Where is Joesph in the treatment of his handmaiden?

I’m really not liking this episode. It better not be a Dallas dream episode

Oh yes, tin of baked beans I remember now.

Is June going insane in the brain after all these traumatic years in Gilead?

Oh god, don't say Dallas episode -is this all going to be a dream/hallucination/brain injury thing for June?

Oh god I'm really losing the will to live. This is awful.

Ooo little Harry Styles has a Gucci ad. Lovely.

I'm not enjoying the eye-twitching crazy smile face. It's a bit tedious.

Oh god I'm really losing the will to live. This is awful.

Agreed, this whole series has been terrible.

The contrast between saving the premature baby in this episode and letting the baby in the last episode die makes very little sense. One is God's will and the other is not?

What's the difference between the light green and dark green outfits?

I presume she wants to see if any of the young girls know Hannah... that's my guess anyway

I just thought that @DrinkReprehensibly!

Nothing is happening... 😴

Emma I keep watching in the hope something amazing will happen.

drink I agree. Let’s go from let’s just do nothing to save the baby to let’s have a hospital do everything possible. Doesn’t make sense

I'm the same, waiting for an action packed final 10 minutes!

Sounds like she’s planning a railroad.

That was a very slow episode after last weeks finish

Well, that was disappointing. I feel like you could have skipped tonight's episode entirely and not lose track at all.

How could that stretch to a whole episode
This is going to be another Lost, dragging out a series with no story

Can anyone please tell me what the doctor said to June after he’d sutured he hand? It seemed to be a pivotal moment but I couldn’t hear it!!

Well that was a snorefest. And talk about stretching the limits of plausibility. June out of ceremonial action for months? No. Doctor chatting to June about her mother, casual as you like, no consequences for June attacking Serena. No.

Very contrived doctor lines “oh they’ve flowered” “how’s the patient”.

The contrast between saving the premature baby in this episode and letting the baby in the last episode die makes very little sense. One is God's will and the other is not?

This baffled me too. Why was one left to God’s will and the other given life saving care?

When she went back into the room after finally being let out me and my neighbor screamed at the tv! What the actual fuck, who wants to watch someone be bored and desperate out of their mind?! How is that good tv, her sat there doing fuck, she was desperate to get the fuck out and I was waiting for it to end! When she went back in that room!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr I said after the first part obviously they’ve used up lot of their budget and this one had to be cheap. Such a filler pointless episode

Why didn’t they cut to anyone else too? That keeps it fresh and interesting. Don’t get it :/
