Offred: What are you going to trade us for? Hmm? What? Fucking chocolate? We’re human beings. How can you do that? How? How can you do that?
Mrs. Castillo : I am from Xipica, Ms. Offred. It is a nice city, maybe the size of Boston. There hasn't been a child born alive in Xipica in six years. My country is dying.
Offred: My country’s already dead.
I was finding this series boring, until I watched this episode. Finally something to catch my attention.
If it's a trap, June's story moves forward. If it's the truth, June's story moves forward. Either way, something has to break the monotony of her tale so far.
The 'dead' husband was the most obvious thing that could get this dead otherwise plot going. Apart of the resistance that is. This show is terribly written.
I don't think I've ever been this bored watching a show with so many sex scenes. But then again I've never seen Fifty Shades.
This is interminably slow and I watch it on 1.4x speed.
WoW ! Fantastic final escene. Elizabeth Moss deserves several TV awards for this character. I Hope! Great Job.
Finally a great episode. Serena's history and role made all the difference.
So glad June tried. TRIED, in a hopeless place.
That ending was a surprise. It felt a little bit unrealistic though.
Probably the best episode so far. And directed by Floria Sigismondi. Let's call it a coincidence... ;)
What an amazing episode and performance by Elisabeth Moss. Those last few minutes were especially chilling and touching. Incredible how the show is giving such depth to every single detail of the story and its characters.
I really don't know how the story is going to develop. I read the book and really hope that it still preserve the esence of it.
fell in love with ambassador castillo representing my country in context of the show even though she ultimately decides to do a shitty thing (i presume)

I think everyone "knew" we were being toyed with when the idea that external help would be within reach was flaunted but I liked how that helped with the next revelations, that some countries might be just as desperate, and that the assumption that her husband had died turned out to be wrong.
I'm excited to see how she's going to react and hoping to see more of the "Resistance" soon.
