C4 / UK pace: No Spoilers Please - Handmaids Tale returns anyone else excited?

[Ladybird69]

YEY. just seen the new season is starting 23 October. I binge watched the others earlier in the month so can’t wait for it to start again. The ending was a shocker that I didn’t see coming. I can’t wait to see where they’re taking it. Will serena joy get let go because she was under his orders AND she’s having a baby. Or will she get put into jail and baby taken away when he’s born.

I will do the same.
I agree that The Testaments was written with a movie / tv in mind.

👍

The Testaments was a good book but nowhere near as good as THT. THT was a tense, dense read (you could see why it was an A level text) whereas TT came across a bit like fanfiction in relation to the TV series.

In fairness, Margaret Attwood is now much older and, presumably, was paid a lot for TT.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Serena gets on with her fan club :)

Why aren't they wearing teal?

I assume because they're in Canada, but why is this couple in Canada?

Are they American or Canadian?

I can't believe they are going to Gilead!

Both of them is a bit flipping risky!

Serena was given that rank green smoothie by mrs Wheeler she forced June to drink. Becoming a handmaid?

It made me think of Rosemary's Baby - eeekk!

All the parallels in the Wheeler house with the Waterford house when Jube was a handmaid there. The running of the Serena's hand down the staircase and notice how she had a healthy breakfast with a smoothie while Mrs Wheeler had a fry up with coffee.

Yes, I suspect the plan is that when the baby is born, Mr and Mrs W will 'adopt' it to give it a 'proper family'.

And who is looking after Nicole at the moment? Many questions!

Serena is shitting herself

I still don't really understand who the Wheelers are? Are they Canadians who want to be like Gilead?

Urgh Putnam is such a creep.

@bellabelly

I think there must be a reason we're not getting to see Mr wheeler

I think they're Gileadeans. It's like a mini Gilead territory in Canada.

@Topgub - yes, they seem to be making a thing of him being so very busy and important - too busy to meet Serena! I wonder if he'll turn out to be someone we already know? Or does he even exist? So many questions!

Anyone else think Ezra has a soft spot for Serena? Wonder if he might help her somehow.

You might be right about Ezra...
I'm feeling nervous about them being with the bowling guy. He seems so young and a bit unhinged. Not sure if he's too good to be true.

Is this bowling alley a trap?

I feel very nervous

Luke can sing!
