HANDMAIDS TALE S6 - thread 2 - time various but sun ch4 - TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New thread for the last two EVER episodes as either going to be a lot of replies as last 2hrs will be amazing and all loose ends tied up

Including seeing Hannah whether new head or not

Or

Be totally crap and wonder why we have just spent the last 10hrs of our lives watching s6

Sadly does seem like they have run out of ideas even tho based on a book. ?

below is thread 1

I do think it rather lost momentum in the huuuuuuuuge hiatus between the last series and this one, due to the writers strikes.

Thanks for the new thread.

I have been enjoying se6, although I will be disappointed if the "rescue Hannah" plot has been lost to the more soap opera plot of "June, Luke and Nick love triangle". It would be such a shame, and a lost opportunity to go out in style...

Declaring an interest. Hoping for a satisfactory denouement, though having read the last thread there are very mixed ideas of what this could be. I fear some people are going to be very disappointed. 😪

Excellent. I am not sure if we will be watching this evening or tomorrow.

Thanks for the new thread 🙂

stuck in under his eye

I'm still in but only because I want to see how they finish it.
I have read both books, we are so far away from THT book now.
Hulu are making the Testaments so I'm quite interested to see if they line it up for that to be a sequel or if it's a stand alone series. (Hope that's not spoilery Blondes)

Thanks for the new thread!

I shall be eagerly awaiting for everyone to finish the latest episode.

Side note, how long has rose been pregnant? It seems like the longest pregnancy.

Thanks for the new thread.

I agree that Rose seems to have had the gestation period of an elephant! Everything else happens overnight but Rose has been pregnant for about 100 years!

Regarding Rose, she walks with a stick but I thought anyone who was disabled in Gilead were got rid of. Obviously Rose is fertile but not perfect and I thought they wanted their wives perfect. I’m probably not explaining this very well but in the first season, I’m sure I remember that people who were disabled, they were got rid of because they weren’t useful to the regime

She is a high commanders daughter so possible hypocrisy?

Thanks for the new thread.

I have to say, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this last season, even though I do get the issues with plot/lack of Hannah etc. And I’m gutted that we’re going to miss the final episode because we’ll be on holiday. (Will obviously be able to catch it when we’re back, but I’m wary of stumbling across spoilers before we can.)

I wondered whether Rose’s injury is something she got during her birth or childhood (like breaking her leg or hip really badly). If she is otherwise healthy (and, it turns out, fertile) and her disability isn’t hereditary, I could see Gilead wanting her.

It still irritates me that no one in Gilead wears glasses. The Commanders are old - presumably they need reading glasses sometimes?

Doesn’t Lawrence wear glasses?

Ah, good spot! I’d forgotten about him

Episode 9 is out on prime

Thanks for the thread, heading for Prime…..

I don’t know whether to watch tonight as working tomorrow night or wait till Monday

Place marking having weakened and watched it already (sorry, I know, no spoilers from me!) all I feel obliged to say is it's cracking and I'll be back for all your comments.

Said it on the other thread but I’ll say it here

Nice to see Janet (IYKYK) taking a break from being the robot

there have been a few characters with glasses, but I do remember Emily getting glasses when she got to Canada as they had been taken from her as a handmaid.

I’ve watched it.

It’s on C4 - watching now.
