[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Nick and Whitford are gray characters, neither good nor bad. Both had an active hand in creating and upholding Gilead. Whitford in the planning of it, especially the Colonies, and Nick as a soldier. Which means Nick killed who knows how many Americans, including civilians.

Neither are committed to either the American or Gilead cause at this point, so it’s time to shit or get off the pot as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think either will survive the series. They need to answer for what they’ve done. I think Nick will go down fighting in some way for June or the resistance. I’m less certain of Whitford. I think he suspects June of having a hand in his wife’s death, and that’s not going to endear him to her cause.[/quote]

The primary difference I see between Lawrence and Nick is that Lawrence helped plan Gilead, and some of the worst aspects of it.

Nick walked into a social services job office one day after patchy employment, just looking for a job to support his family, and ended up drafted into the army. It was just fate that placed him in the army, not desire for a new f’d up society.

But I think at this point they both greatly regret their hand in supporting Gilead. I *think* Nick is actively planning something to aid in the resistance, and Lawrence is halfhearted doing what he’s told by June.[/quote]
