She already murdered a doctor in a previous season. She's already a murderer. |
I truly hated the season finale. Barbaric and patently ridiculous in terms of believability. Nothing clever about the ending at all. I’m disappointed.
|
What a fricking disappointment!! A gang killing? Come on - that’s not only completely unbelievable, it’s also dramatically unsatisfying.
I’m actually pissed. |
I agree, it was disappointing. I get June needing to exorcise demons but she chose savage revenge over her family. She could have had both. Would have gotten revenge simply sending him back--he would have ended up on the wall for his betrayal. |
And on top of everything else, we didn’t get to see Serena’s reaction to Fred’s severed finger! It’s so unsatisfying.
Stupid. |
Lol no he wouldn’t have! Look around you, men get a pass always always no matter what horrid shit they do. He would have weaseled his way out the men in power would have been fine with it and he’s grow nice and old with some side pieces away from the government. He deserved it and he was owed that death for all that he did. There’s a saying in training day the movie…you wanna get shii done, you gotta do it yourself. |
He deserved far worse than that. That’s why it was so unsatisfying to me and so “un-clever”. A gang beating in the woods? Come on. Stupid. |
I don’t know. Serena is in her last few minutes of being blissfully unaware of what has transpired, and thinks that she is still in a position to force Tuello (sp?) to call Fred “Commander” and make people do her bidding. Knowing what she is about to find out is pretty satisfying to me. On the other hand, I found the scene in the woods to be really unrealistic. Fred had ample opportunity to overpower June and get the gun, and ample time to continue running. June wanted a scenario where he was in maximum fear for his life, but that means running and overpowering a woman with a gun when you have the chance. |
It’s weird to me that they would try to get a spin-off’s worth of material from The Testaments. The book really just felt like an epilogue that answered some lingering questions nicely, and they’ve already covered some of the territory in the current series. I assumed that they would just make season 5 the Testaments season. I think that’s what they should do. |
While I don't disagree, I feel that the producers are doing a disservice by going around in interviews saying that June choose "justice" for what she did to Fred. It would be much more interesting if instead the show made more of a point to showcase how Gilead destroyed June's conscience and created a rage in her that cannot currently be fulfilled. Instead, they filmed it in a way that seemed to glorify her violence and even excused it as necessary because again it was just "justice." That is what I take issue with. |
That's exactly how I read her actions. Not as justice per se but as (understandable) white hot rage. |
Without creating a long quote, I agree with the pps. It would’ve been a better story if they followed the unrelenting rage than glorified the violence
I thought June’s ability to pull all the strings necessary to get him on the wall demonstrates her position of power on both sides of the line. |
From her perspective, there was never going to be justice if it was left up to the governments. I think she gave up on that idea. There was, however, poetic justice in morbidly restoring a finger to Serena. |
I enjoyed the sound of the creaking rope and birdsong during the credits. |
