[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was frustrated by Luke's teary confession that he feels like June is choosing to fight Gilead rather than come be with him in Canada, like she doesn't love him enough and would rather be some rebel hero. He doesn't express any acknowledgement or concern about Hannah. June stayed in Gilead to rescue their daughter! For God's sake, act like a father and not like an insecure man.[/quote]

He's always been kind of a pathetic character who has never even begun to grasp what they are going through in Gilead. He loves June in-when the rubber hits the road- a pretty superficial way. He has little depth and seems to be mostly focused on his own experience of loss. Doesn't seem like a marriage that would ever get through this if they did come out the other side. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, just unable to relate to much outside his own experiences and loss. It may be intentional on the part of the writers to keep him in the background. [/quote]

PP here. This seems right to me. One thing I have thought a lot about in the last few years is how little most people are able to appreciate others' situations unless or until they experience it for themselves. The limits of empathy, I guess. [/quote]

I lost respect for him and Moira when they whined about her staying behind. Their child is in Gilead! If my spouse and child were left behind in a dangerous situation, I would fully expect spouse to risk life and limb to get the child to safety. I certainly wouldn’t whine about being abandoned to “clean up her mess.”[/quote]
