The Handmaid's Tale S4 at C4 pace (no spoilers from Hulu subscribers)

[Faircastle]

A thread for those watching Season 4 of the Handmaid's Tale on Channel 4 starting this evening. There's another thread for those who have already streamed it via Hulu, so it would be good if we could keep this one free of spoilers for episodes beyond those Channel 4 has broadcast.

Oh no

Please say they left

Oh Nick

What did he say?

Oh dear.

I liked that gender traitor guardian that just got shot. He moved like a dancer. And he was beautiful.

Yes, feels a bit convenient for the plot.

I thought so too.

So if the handmaids have escaped why all the bullet casings on the floor?

Wtf?!

I'm trying to keep you alive

Oh dear. That ending doesn't bode well for potential horrors on our screens next week 😲 No doubt June will survive it though, as ever!

@OytheBumbler

What did he say?

Something like: I'm going to try and keep you alive.

I'm frustrated with the number of times June escapes the gets caught again.

@OytheBumbler

What did he say?

He said loudly “where are the handmaids” then knelt close and whispered “I’m Trying to keep you alive”

Yep

i had IVF as was infertile and had twins,9 yrs later was divorced and fell pregnant naturally

I heard "I'm trying to keep you alive"

“I’m trying to keep you alive.”

Soooo bored of it tonight.

Most of the episode was too dark to see anything

was a little slow tonight imo

needs to be 90 mins

What if it's something about Gilead itself that is reducing the fertility? And that's why she was able to get pregnant when she left?

(I realise that is far-fetched, but just throwing it out there)

Oh god, I don't want to see June in Aunt Lydia's hands again! I thought this was a brilliant episode. But I'm still wondering what happened to the rogue commander who was being ushered into the sinister-looking chair in last week's episode.

How long have they been out? Do we know? Weeks or months? Maybe it’s the water in Gilead

He was given a beard trim and a tidy up. He's back in power.
