[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad June got on the boat because if she was going to stay in Gilead again, I think I would've been done with this show. I continue to be underwhelmed by Luke. In fact, the scene where they reunited was just off until June apologized for not having Hannah. That part was sad. But Luke just stood there. He didn't even say anything to her. And then when they were walking, he was 4 steps ahead of her. I get that it might be complicated for both of them, but he didn't even seem happy to see her. And why is it all on June to bring Hannah back? Luke escaped years ago yet June is the one risking her life time and again to rescue Hannah and apologizing to Luke for not having her. Her mom guilt is so relatable yet it makes me really angry at Luke.[/quote] I guess I'm one of the few who is sympathetic to Luke. My take is that he was solicitous, leading the way and checking in to see that she was following and okay, but completely overwhelmed. Your traumatized wife returns years later, and you've been caring for the child she had with a man she's told you she also loves. Just a tad overwhelming! Yes, he was passive pre-Gilead but I don't know what anyone expected of him once he was stuck in Canada. He was loyal, waited, cared for Nichole, confronted Waterford when he had the chance. Grappling with the knowledge his wife chose to stay in Gilead when she could have escaped to be with him and, again, knowing she was involved with someone else. What else would you have him do?[/quote] Agree. And despite the fact that June somehow turned into a badass tactician/has survived requires some suspension of disbelief on our part. What exactly was Luke going to do? Storm INTO Gilead and...get killed? And I also think back to episode 2 of this season - when the US official tells Luke they may never know what happens to June. We have the benefit of knowing what's happening in both Gilead and Canada, but the characters are effectively blind in that respect.[/quote]
