Anyone else notice the Hulu Easter Egg? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams on the bookshelf in Lawrence's office. Hulu is promoting their new TV series.
"And that's what we'll become: nightmares. One day, when we're ready, we're coming for you. Just wait."
She sure likes being tested.
It was a little too optimistic sounding at the end. Gender war the women being the victors? That's just not how I think of the Gilead problems.
I AM NOT OKAY!!!! SERENA VISITING JUNE AND TALKING ABOUT BABY NICOLE I AM NOT OKAY!!! Fuck how can Moss and Yvonne twist my heart with such amazing chemistry and performance, and they barely on screen together for like, what, 3 or 4 minutes tops? And I love how they began more giving Serena more layer, aka the mother, i didn't know she had a mother. And we saw the interaction between them, giving more light on Serena's character. And I still want her to be punished, dont get me wrong. I want to see Serena ended up in jail after the start the revolution or something. But it's really nice to see a villain isn't just one-layered villain. I want to hug her but at the same time I want to stab her multiple times and let her rot, you know
Who was the mother, anyway? I felt like I've seen her before, there's no name about the mother on imdb
And when Rita gave that pinky finger glove thingy, fuck man, ugh my heart. I miss Rita so much and damn I love it how she's really supportive to Serena. Pls i just want to see all the women of Gilead work together and kill all the men.
Altho I want to point it out that June is one hell of a manipulator bastard and I love her. I mean Lawrance did point it out how June was trying to "flirt" with him in order to get his help works on Fred but it didn't with him. And as for Serena, manipulating her wasn't really the perfect word, but June knows what makes people tick and she used that to get what she wanted. Fred, Nick, and in some sort of twisted way, Serena. She pushed Serena to fight back, and yes it was for their own good, but do you really think Serena would fight back if it wasn't because of June?
And as for Lawrance, he's really a wild card, huh. It's fucking scary, not to mention he's an important person and have his own rule. I'm glad June was able to see what makes him tick, and start using that as well. She got to choose the new Marthas, hell yeah
SERENA JUST WALKED AWAY FROM FRED AT THE ENDING IS SO GODDAMN SATISFYING YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!
"Only a mother could have done what you did" that was nice
Could Lawrence be the ultimate enlightened centrist? His stance strikes me as "I just want both teams to have fun" and "there are good people on both sides".
Hopefully June will make it count.

So Lawrence is a psychopath. Wonderful. But at least June pushes back and doesn't let him intimidate or humiliate her, no matter how much he tries. He certainly has a big fat ego too, coming at her with that holier-than-thou attitude. He thinks he's saving the human race, really? I'm sorry, but if saving humanity means subjugating half the population, raping rituals, public executions, taking away basic rights, then fuck humanity. Fuck it. Let them die.
Nick is all kinds of useless, isn't he. Not like he was super crucial to the plot to begin with, aside from fathering Holly he hasn't done much. I've never been a fan of him and June as a couple either, maybe because he has as much personality as a wet towel. I'm not going to miss him if he's gone for a while.
Serena with messy hair and tears on her face, walking into the ocean is such a contrast from the prim, proper and composed woman we met in season 1. While I do think June is using her manipulation skills to a degree to push Serena to do what June wants her to do, I also think that in a way those two characters are more themselves around each other than anyone else. They've seen each other at their worst, they've been enemies, they've been allies, they've gone through so much shit together and their dynamic has kind of become the core of the show for me. At the end of the day, when the dust settles and everything else goes away, they're the heart and soul of this entire thing: two women, so different and yet so similar, drawn to each other and repulsing each other at the same time, who should (and probably on some level do) hate each other but also can't live without each other at this point. Serena went to see June because she literally doesn't have anyone else in the world to turn to. And June, despite all of Serena's wrongdoings, does care for her. I know it's never turning romantic, but it should. Change my mind. I'll stop shipping it when Elisabeth and Yvonne stop having better chemistry than most actual romantic pairings on TV do. Also my conviction that Serena needs to be punished is just about gone at this point because she's been traumatized as fuck as it is. Yes, some of the things she's done (namely holding June down and letting Waterford rape her) can never, ever be forgiven, but I can't think of a punishment that'd be worse than what she's already gone through, from being brutally reminded that she has no actual power to giving up the one thing she wanted in the entire world.
