Ive seen so many social media posts from people hoping nick somehow managed to get off the plane. Eww why, the man is a drip. He may have loved June, in some weird kind of way, but he was never against Gilead, not once. He wanted to protect her - occasionally, but never his kid, he barely asked about her, i could count on one hand the amount of time he showed even the vaguest of interest in her. He never had any intention of joining the rebellion, and standing up against Gilead. He was weak and pathetic. When i saw his step out of the car, i literraly said "dont you dare June, let him go" out loud like some kind of weirdo.
Commander Lawrence on the other hand, my have been self serving a lot of the time, but he clearly regretted his choices and the impact it had on all women, not just his Elenor. And when the time came, he was always going to make the right choice. He was in the rebellion before he even met June, he showed genuine remorse multiple times. But i knew he was going to die the second he said coodbye to Angela, he loved that kid and wanted what was best for her.
June shouting "dont let the bastards grind you down" was simply iconic. With luke sneaking through the crowd, with Rita, who is also simply iconic. One of my most favourite few minutes of television ever. Aunt Lydia - also iconic.
Im also, and im very sorry, in camp Serena. Much like commander lawrence, i think she show genuine remorse, but she also brainwashed by a regime. shes done some truly terrible things, and deserved (some) of her punishments. But she also wants a better future for women and children, and the handmaids. I think she is the best character in the show, so complex, so torn all the time, self serving definitely, but she does want the best for society deep down. If the kill her off next episode, i will be genuinely gutted, id rather they killed June tha her - sorry!
