2x05 Seeds

Very well done episode. Scary as hell. I see and hear shades of this in real life.

There are ‘preachers’ in my city that scream at women how they should wear long dresses and if they wear anything else - too much colour, makeup, have short hair - the ‘preachers’ scream in a megaphone about how the women should be raped, burn in Hell etc. It’s horrible but cops won’t do anything even when people try to file harassment charges. They don’t even care when these ‘men’ scream at little girls or care about the protests that have gone on.

This show is scary because it’s not that far from reality. Just a few laws and a few powerful people could tip the scales. It’s unnerving.

Also, the forced marriage scene with Nick was disturbing AF. I hope he claims impotence or something and doesn’t touch her though I’m not sure how long he can do that without being found out.

Serena is more of an evil bitch than I thought. And did I just see a few interactions where Aunt Lydia was being oddly human? She saw through Serena and the commander...so why put up with the charade?

I’m so confused with how everyone is justifying things but I guess that’s more realistic.

I really wanted June to go all Kill Bill on everyone. It’d mess her up but she’d free everyone including herself...

Glad to see June is starting to get back to herself though thanks to the baby.

For the sake of the show I hope the creators have an end game. Love it but I can’t take it if this goes on more than a few seasons. Just proves I’d never deal with that situation. I’d probably die or be sent to the colonies.
