That’s how I felt when Elliot Stabler was a commander.

Also- Lawerence only punished Putnam because Putnam was trying to kill his “new Bethlehem” idea. You could tell he didn’t care when aunt Lydia came to him, but he realized the value of the information. Also- poor Esther.

Do we think Serena is doing it to gain favor with Canada/Tullelo? Also I would not be surprised if Waterford isn’t the father of her baby…

That baby is "unassigned property."


Yeah, someone is about to get super lucky. And I’d assume Mrs. Putnam also gets reassigned to a commander.

Agree. All the Luke and June scenes were terrible. He is so dumb.


+1. I actually think the actor that plays Luke, O-T Fagbenle, is a good actor. I've seen him in other things and I like him. But Luke is such a wet dishrag of a character. It's hard to see what he and June ever had as far as chemistry. They have zero chemistry on the show. The scenes of them in the prison cages were cringey. And it's just as much Moss as it is him.

Do we know the father of Serena’s child?

What are Waterford’s motives? Can never tell whose side he’s on. He’s not a true believer but not really an ally always of the resistance.

I am really struggling with the writing this season. It feels even less plausible then last season but worse, none of the characters are making sense to me.

Did you miss the deep breathing and grabbing the baby bump? Also the trailer for next week?

Lawrence’s plan to open the borders, bring back refugees, forgive them, and reintegrate them into Gilead all to appease other countries so they can establish things like trade agreements. Or at least that’s what he said. He could have his own motivations — like toppling the government he helped create.


+ I’m thinking Lawrence is playing the long game and the goal is a new country with equal rights.

And I still haven’t figured out if Luke is the WORST actor I’ve ever seen or if his character has the WORST writing ever done.
