JUNE WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOOT THEM???? JESUS! I mean I know why, but still. That was such a tense moment.
Also, I really, really love the camera angle. The one where June was on the top floor and the Waterfords are fighting, that was powerful.
Imagine me not crying while watching the whole giving birth scene. And her mom came, oh god.
JUNE!!!!! GAVE BIRTH!!!! TO THE BABY!!!!! ALL BY HERSELF!!!!! SURROUNDED BY BLOOD ON THE FLOOR OF A RANDOM HOUSE!!!! I LOVE THIS CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been on edge during this whole episode.
Sheesh what a finale.
Of course she had to give birth then and there.
But could she really not have found an axe or something in the big house, or smash a chair through a window to what I suppose was the shed? Or since she found the shotgun, use that? I feel she didn’t use all the resources she could have, although she did try so hard.
Christ... This was one of the most uncomfortable and intense episodes of television I've ever watched.
One of the best episodes I've seen so far

"I tell, therefore you are."
Welcome to the world, baby Holly. What a shame you had to be born in this shithole called Gilead. I do have to say, I love the fact that the baby is a girl, just like June predicted. It's a subtle fuck you to Waterford who obviously wanted a son. Holly came out of the womb already trolling that asshole - she's definitely her mother's daughter.
It was a genius idea to create a montage of three drastically different labor scenes: June with Hannah, surrounded by family, giving birth in an environment filled with love; Janine with Charlotte, supported by friends, but stuck in a creepy ritualistic scenario created by Gilead; and finally June with Holly, facing this ordeal on her own in the most primal and instinctive way. It was incredibly powerful and I couldn't stop myself from shedding a tear or two.
Fuck, Serena, if all you ever wanted was a baby, then you could have hired a goddamn surrogate like a sane person. You definitely didn't need to start a religious cult that would overthrow the government and turn your country into a nightmare. What the actual fuck? You didn't just want a baby. You wanted power. You wanted everyone to adhere to your insane beliefs, even if it meant becoming little more than your husband's property and allowing him to rape a woman on a monthly basis. Damn, at least have the guts to own up to it.
