[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kinda loved Aunt Lydia for getting her lick in at the last minute. Wasn't expecting her to be all-in, but she really did get it.[/quote]That was a great moment. I’m assuming she won’t be in The Testaments, then?[/quote]

No, she will be. [/quote]Huh. I’m going to have to suspend my disbelief that she didn’t destroy her standing and her cover in Gilead by being almost hanged as a traitor and publicly condemning the Commanders. I mean, I know Gilead doesn’t have the Internet and live media coverage, but surely the Boston Commanders kept DC in the loop about what was going on and who they captured? Apparently not.[/quote]

The Testaments happens concurrent with the timeline the show is in. There will be some wonkiness - mainly because Hannah and Nicole/Holly are supposed to be much closer in age and Holly is a big part of the book.[/quote]
The testaments is 15 years later. [/quote]

Wait—if Holly/nicole is in it, does that means she didn’t stay in Alaska?  That sucks.  I want her hanging out in Girdwood with a few very defensive huskies.  She’s had enough Gilead crap in her life.

Also. I am very unclear with this show on the whole environmental collapse point.  People seem very healthy (even considering they killed off all the sick people…wouldn’t commanders and their wives continue to get sick?), and it’s super unclear to me where the contaminated places are, where they are growing food, etc.  I would have loved a whole episode in which Commander Lawrence thoroughly explains the economy and the supply chain logistics of the new regime.  
Honestly. I can see a world in which the whole system is collapsing, people are starving etc, and someone like Lawrence thought that helping the new regime create a functional economic system was the moral choice.  Fast forward a few years and he realizes what he’s done.[/quote]
