[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see this as a win/loose or moral/amoral thing so much as a cost of war thing. June is choosing to stay in the war/resistance/revolution. That's not compatible with life as a refugee and family woman. It involves a lot of violence and extrajudicial justice.

So it's very sad because it probably means she can't stay with Luke/Nicole as a murderous revolutionary/guerrilla fighter. I thought HIS face close up in that scene was great, actually.

+1000 this season sucked and the last episode, while at least surprising, was totally unbelievable and silly.

This is a small complaint but I'm to believe that June drove all the way home from the border lands without wiping the chunks of Fred from her face? Just so she could like, rub them on the baby? It's so heavy handed and unnecessary. The scene was great as it was. We didn't need an implausibly bloody baby to drive the point home. We got it. [/quote]That is an absolutely valid complaint. I was thinking “Girl, wash your hands!” [/quote]

So it’s interesting because I thought the same thing but then I remembered that June isn’t really a typical person anymore.  That last scene was the only real time you saw June be a mother and show love to Nicole.  And she seemed to only be able to do it after murdering Fred. [b] She just can’t be a mother anymore.[/quote]

Not true imo. There was a scene of her cuddling Nichole in the nursery, and of she and Luke playing with her outside. I think she can connect with mothering, and even intermittently with Luke, but is obviously damaged from profound trauma and the rage it engendered. I think Luke still doesn't grasp a fraction of what she went through and he needs to hear every nasty grisly detail to get a sense of why she is the way she is right now.[/quote]
