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 had to watch it last night on my mobile. Couldn't wait for tonight and risk falling asleep.
Annoyingly the Channel 4 app wouldn't let me cast to my TV so I will have to record tonight and rewatch tomorrow.
Anyway, no spoilers from me but I also feel a tiny little bit sad that it's finished and there will be no more.

Constant darkness seems to be the curse of so many films and tv shows now.

I still haven't made up my mind about Aunt Lydia - did she only disapprove of the Commanders because of the existence of Jezebel's? She seemed to think that Janine had been "saved" by becoming Bell's handmaid, right up until the point she realised that he was brutalising her outside "the ceremony".

I hope tonight’s episode won’t be disappointing. I can’t see how they will be able to get to Hannah now which will make the whole thing seem pointless. The only redemption (for me) will be if the revolution gets going properly.

It also annoys me that June is always going on about Hannah but none of the other handmaids mention their children. They must have had children taken too? Even Janine only mentions Charlotte - she never talks about her son. I know he died in a car crash (I think June found this out in series 2 or 3) but she didn’t tell Janine so surely she would be talking about him and wanting to get to him too. Unless I missed something and she does know he died. But still it irks me that June seems to be the only one who apparently cares about her children.

Really hope this wraps up well.

Janine had a son who died ? I don’t R.E.M. that

Yes she found the files in Lawrence’s house and saw Janine’s son had been killed in a car accident. She told Janine he was in California and she was happy that he ‘lives by the beach’.

It was when she was making the plan to rescue children and put them on the plane to Canada. I can’t remember which series that was now!

I watched yesterday but just rushed around so I could watch live at 9 and discuss with you all. It's on at 10!!

Series 3.

Praised be, bitches.

Anyone watching?

Me.

Sorry, apparently I posted a spoiler! It wasn’t actually a plot moment, it was an interminable flashback which I think they have shown so many times the pixels must be contacting their agents for repeat fees!

Why is Tuello a "commander"?

And is Emily there?

I watched yesterday as at work so I won’t comment til 11pm
as don’t want to say sod thing that hasn’t been seen yet

I watched yesterday but came in to watch with others and discuss but I think most have already watched it

The episode isn't what I was expecting

When I first watched it, I cried when Emily appeared.

I was so happy that it wasn’t a dream sequence June was having and it was actually Emily

Mostly for dramatic effect. But it could just be his position.

I find it strange Tuello's background has never come up before

but honestly never thought about it

😭

This bit made me tear up

Can Naomi not care for her? Why would she give her to Janine?

I think she realised that she'd be better off out of Gilead. I have a problem believing that Gilead would allow it, though.

Even Naomi agreeing to give up a child she thinks of as her own is a big thing

So happy for Janine though
