How will Emily feed the baby? Judging from her look at the end when she made her decision, I think it's not all about Hannah - I think she wants revenge. She wants to take down Fred. I'm looking forward to the next season. (Oh, and what will happen without Aunt Lydia?? So many questions!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2834242 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 13:49:37 +0000 smuckers 2834242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I just say, I was SO CONFUSED as to why she left the baby with Emily! I mean, I understand wanting to save Hannah. I am on board with trying to save Hannah. BUT (as if I am talking to June):</p> <p>1) Put the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on your kid. You can do SO MUCH MORE from the outside in this situation than you can from the inside.<br /> 2) You've already tried to escape UNSUCCESSFULLY. You don't *know* that they are going to make it. You are basically choosing to not know what's happening with either of your kids, instead of KNOWING one is safe and working to save the other.<br /> 3) EMILY CANNOT FEED THE BABY JUNE. YOU ARE BREASTFEEDING. How are they going to be sneaky with a screaming hungry newborn? You very well may have just killed Emily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2834076 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 13:39:06 +0000 youboots 2834076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was yelling at the tv last night during episode 13. We had An interesting chat about patriarchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833986 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 12:21:46 +0000 DesertDreams88 2833986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: agreed.</p> <p>@Amorini: agreed, Serena is such an interesting character to me. It must be so hard to play her, and the actress does it flawlessly.</p> <p>@Amorini: I think after season 1 they were done with the novel.</p> <p>@erinbaderin: no. Way. Omg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833973 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 10:19:41 +0000 Amorini 2833973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: omg. I think I will develop an anxiety disorder before that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833970 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 09:38:54 +0000 erinbaderin 2833970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: Apparently the creator has eight seasons plotted out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833952 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 07:02:08 +0000 Amorini 2833952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: That’s what I was thinking! We haven’t seen how the rebellion is really operating so I thought that it might be a lead-in to that.</p> <p>But after Season 3, that’s it, right? I don’t think there can be more story... The trouble is that Atwood’s novel leaves it up to interpretation if June escapes or not. Season 2 was definitely off script but what if they try to tie it back into the novel?! I can’t imagine them ending it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833943 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 05:35:58 +0000 erinbaderin 2833943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I don’t think she can go back to the Waterford’s, which is why I’m so confused about what can happen. Is she going to join some sort of underground? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833928 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 22:21:20 +0000 Mrsbells 2833928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: yes this show is so stressful to watch! I go through so many intense emotions. I dont understand how the story will make sense with offred staying. How will she explain to Fred where she went in the middle of the night and what happened to the baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833926 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 22:04:11 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2833926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: you should watch the end :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833923 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:42:37 +0000 yellowbeach 2833923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Now I'm even more confused! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833922 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:41:08 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2833922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: she chose to stay last-second 😫 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833919 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:00:38 +0000 yellowbeach 2833919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must have missed something - but why wasn't Offred also able to escape with Emily and the baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833903 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:07:46 +0000 MrsGeePerez 2833903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would have been great if June left with Holly and they focused a little more on Serena in the next season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833896 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:34:28 +0000 Amorini 2833896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those last 8 minutes or whatever of the escape sequence had me so totally stressed out that I could hardly watch! I agree, I was bummed that she stayed but I am more glad that the baby and Emily got out. If she had gotten in the getaway car in the closing seconds of the season finale, I think that they would have been caught at the beginning of Season 3, so that there’s more story to tell. That would have made me really bummed. That baby needs outta there.</p> <p>I really want to see Serena and maybe some of the Wives join the rebellion. Does anyone think that will happen? Anyone have any Season 3 predictions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833854 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 14:29:43 +0000 erinbaderin 2833854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: She did say Nicole - I actually hated that part! This woman held her down while she was raped (and, really, orchestrated it to punish her) a few weeks/months ago and now she respects her...why?</p> <p>It made me angry that she didn’t leave. I get that she has Hannah but I think she’d be in a better position to help her from outside. She’s not in immediate danger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833816 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:23:59 +0000 Mrsbells 2833816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she should have left and then come back for her. Leaving the newborn makes no sense to me. I feel the newborn has a greater immediate need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833772 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 10:24:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2833772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Listen you never give up on your children! Made total sense to me that in order to save Hannah she would have to stay in Gideon.</p> <p>Serena saying goodbye to Holly/ Nicole was so hard to watch. I kept thinking she was going to take the baby and run. I missed it, what did she tell Emily to call her again? If it was Nicole that just shows the level of respect June gained for Serena. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833741 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 07:59:20 +0000 Lahela017 2833741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I agree too. I was very frustrated but can see how her staying will make for a better season 3. My husband was laughing at me as I yelled at the TV though. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833735 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 07:29:57 +0000 DesertDreams88 2833735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: same. I thought the finale was really chaotic, and several events felt rushed and thus unbelievable. I read two articles reviewing the episode and they both felt that June's final decision was necessary to keep the series going, but I think no, the show could have continued if she went with Holly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2833727 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 01:20:22 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2833727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did everyone feel about the season finale? I’m a little frustrated and confused but I’m sure it’ll go in another really interesting direction next season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2821816 Thu, 10 May 2018 15:45:17 +0000 Mrsbells 2821816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: i'm watching it! I feel like all many new shows have a dark side to them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2821610 Wed, 09 May 2018 23:52:54 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2821610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cinematography, directing and Elisabeth Moss’s acting are all superb. It’s so intriguing and terrifying at the same time. And SO SAD. Ugh. Her little girl. :crying: The music creeps me out, too, but it’s spot on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2820771 Mon, 07 May 2018 11:20:10 +0000 ShootingStar 2820771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love show but it does seriously stress me out. It's the combination of how it plays as horror, plus the feeling that this could be a reality we're moving towards if we're not careful. I spend all episode dreading what awful thing is going to happen. But I just can't look away either, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2820288 Fri, 04 May 2018 09:49:41 +0000 Purpledaisy 2820288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last episode left off at such a cliffhanger, I'm all stressed out about what's going to happen next🙈! DH and I both love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2820259 Fri, 04 May 2018 09:09:01 +0000 DesertDreams88 2820259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love it but I agree it is borderline too realistic. I look forward to every Wednesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2820230 Fri, 04 May 2018 08:07:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2820230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m all caught up and just blown away. Going into the second season I was skeptical it would turn into something campy like TWD, but it’s still oh so good. My favorite part about this season is learning more about how society got to where it is. Some people drank the kool-aid and others are just trying to hide in plain sight to survive. </p> <p>@erinbaderin: just wait for episode 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2820217 Fri, 04 May 2018 06:25:43 +0000 ineebee 2820217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So so good. Elizabeth Moss is incredible. I haven’t watched E3 yet, but I’m totally hooked. It’s pretty merciless in its darkness (hello opening scene of E1!), but the storytelling, characters, acting, cinematography — all of it is so so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/handmaids-tale#post-2820216 Fri, 04 May 2018 06:19:20 +0000 kitty 2820216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is so dramatic! I was kind of preparing myself for it to disappoint considering that the book ended where season 1 did, and I sort of felt when I was watching s2e1 that they might be laying it on a bit thick. But I just finished watching e3 and I'll probably keep watching anyway! </p>
