There was an Offred before me. She helped me find my way out. She is dead. She is alive. She is me, we are handmaids. “Nolite te bastardes carborundrum, bitches!”
I love that every episode is leavened with a bit of necessary rebellious streak to go against the heavy oppression, whether through the story/character beats or aesthetic choices like songs. Whereas I left the past three episodes a bit shell-shocked (in a good way) though, the more explicit way of that streak in this one actually has me in tears. Wasn't expecting it.
"nolite te bastardes carborundorum, bitches!"
Interesting how they tried to rebel however they can, even if it's teenager level.
I don't get this thing with the driver. Looks so forced. Scenarists were like "Well she still has to flirt with somebody. There's litterally only one other male character. So let's go with him.".
And ok, Nolite te bastardes carborundorum, bitches was a great line.
I seem to have questions about the scene with June and Moira in the subway: why did they let themselves get separated like that? Why didn't one of them say "oh, I'm with my aunt / she's with me" ? Why didn't Moira call her over?
Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum, Bitches.
