So worried for her, though. Hard to see how she will be able to escape now.

I was really thrown by all of the people cheering for the Waterfords after Fred’s outburst during June’s testimony.  Surprised that they would receive any support in Canada, even from the Christian sect.[/quote]

Someone used the word deplorable at the beginning of the episode. They were making a point about our current Trump psychos choosing fascism and authoritarianism, cheering for it.[/quote]

Probably, but a friend suggested that they are all likely desperately infertile people who also want to be “blessed” like Serena and Fred.[/quote]

There have always been these people. Gilead takes it to the extreme, but Serena could have been easily based on Phyllis Schafly, who famously thought women should be at home, just not her. Modern day equivalent is Abby Johnson, darling of the pro-life movement who may be lying about her entire experience. She teased on Twitter that she'd be happy to have her husband vote for their entire household. Does she actually think that? Probably not, but when you're a narcissist or have narcissistic tendencies you sure do like the attention.

Also, it's been seven years now. The shock value has worn off. Gilead is obviously portraying the Handmaids as willing - something which really bugged me during the questioning of June. There was no choice.

I don't mean to bring current events into it, but look at QAnon. It's unbelievable that people buy this stuff, but here we are.[/quote]
