[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:49, I think that’s the point: they aren’t a halfway decent surveillance state. Gilead isn’t very competent. They rely on terror rather than actual loyalty or skill to achieve control of the populace. [/quote]

Plus, these guardians didn't know they were looking for 50+kids and marthas in the woods. They thought they were looking for one kid, maybe alone, and probably not in the woods at all (more likely held in a house or smuggled into a vehicle). [/quote]

And no doubt those kids have been subject to very strict discipline since Gilead’s beginning. Spare the rod and all that. It’s no surprise to me they were able to be close to silent. [/quote]

Especially since they were all girls.[/quote]

I don’t think they were all girls and it looked like they were mostly a smidge older? So maybe would remember? I guess realistically if Gilead is 5 that would mean 10 or older. Not sure but I definitely didn’t see toddlers. [/quote]

The Marthas may have felt more compelled to get the stolen children out vs. the ones who were born in Gilead. [/quote]

Also because the stolen children will have stronger grounds for asylum, right?[/quote]

Children born in Gilead are stolen from their mothers and subject to gender-based oppression, but true that it could help that no bio parents involved to contest. Presumably the baby's bio dad was murdered by the Martha--it will be interesting to see if that comes up again next season.[/quote]
