I think Emily is one of the most interesting characters in the show, I was hoping to see more of her now that she’s back. But I guess I was wrong...
Hmm...this is feeling less and less like a dire dystopian cautionary tale and more and more like a typically cliched female author's rape/sub fantasy (a la FSoG, but in this case written by a feminist who apparently also likes to be on top). Not having read the original, I'm wondering if it's just the screenplay, but whatever is the case, I'm rapidly losing interest.
Also Elisabeth Moss needs to see a vocal/diction coach. There were at least 3 lines of hers which remained totally incomprehensible no matter how many times I flicked back and re-listened, while at least another 4 required more than 2 replays to catch the intended dialogue. Actually, that's the director's fault really, but anyway, not great.
I'm finding all of the flashback scenes concerning June and Moira to feel very fake. I don't know if the fault lies with the writing or the acting, but they just don't seem to behave or talk like people would.
I liked the bit where the new Offglen told June that the new order is good for her - that part was very realistic, because it's true, even if the worst of the regimes there are some who end up better than before.
I don't think that the scene with Emily-now-Offsteven was great or moving - It's just plain terrorism and the specific guard she killed wasn't to blame for anything, it just shows the nature of some extremists who think their misery is an excuse for hurting others.
And in general, it feels like people are just people, lust is lust - and June just missed good sex :) I'm not moved by the so-called feminist agenda, I don't see anything realistic about the idea, but the story itself is not that bad, the music placement is enjoyable, so it worth going on with it.
'My name is Emily'... I'm sorry but as a Gilmore Girls fanatic I damn near lost it... because before she said her name I had lowkey been calling her Rory.
That aside.. I hope it isn't the last we see of her. She is a badass. The only thing I didn't get is why she wouldn't plow herself into a wall with that car. There is no chance in Hell that I would drive off in that car just to get caught again. You know they'll torture her even more than they already have. I would go full suicide mission taking as much of them with me as I could.
Hey, a magazine about boys and lipstick, that's so great. She must be so happy. That will surely prevent her from killing herself.
The How I met your father story is kinda boring. "It's so dumb, we're not doing anything." Litterally one second before explicitly planning exactly how they're going to do it.
Ofglen/Ofsteven could be the most interesting character. But not sure we'll see her much after that :/
I am afraid if Offred gets caught

They didn’t get everything. There was something inside her they couldn’t take away. She looked invincible. “My name is Emily.”
