I think that Offred's pen clicking will do more damage than Ofglen's bomb clicking
Like a Dark and Gloomy episode!
Possibly my fave episode so far on this show. Truly brilliant.
I‘m so happy that Emily is back. The scene in the supermarket when they all whispered their names was great.
How the motherfuckers didn't die in the explosion aaaaaaaarg
Such fascinating changes beginning to happen.
The handmaids getting a little … “feisty” and personal. Hoping here Eden won’t tattle.
And Mrs Waterford taking things into her hands… the delicious audacity of just how much. And not only allowing June to read and write but putting her to such use. This is exciting.
I felt so thrilled with the pen scene. Our ideas pass through time tanks to writing.
Great show of course, but, kinda annoying that June is the only one who does everything - protests the stoning, escapes, and, in this episode, humanizes her fellow handmaids by asking them for their real names . I realize it's told from her perspective, but, seriously, does she single handedly do everything? Are there no other handmaids around?

Well, I never knew that the sound of a pen clicking could be so satisfying. I feel like that last scene was an important moment for Serena and June - for the first time there was a genuine connection between them, without any secret agenda or manipulation. They have a common goal and they're working together to achieve it, breaking the rules and risking everything in the process. I love it. I know these two have a fucked up relationship and that Serena is directly responsible for what June's life looks now, but I can't help but be fascinated by their dynamic. And maybe I want them to be friends. A tiny bit. They'd be unstoppable if they teamed up.
I have the memory of a goldfish, so I don't even know if we've ever seen Odette before, but I was devastated when Moira saw her photo. Absolutely crushed. Also, baby Gavin!!! What a cute little pumpkin. And $250,000 for a baby? Holy shit. I knew healthy children were rare in this show's reality, but I didn't realize they were that scarce. Any woman with working ovaries and uterus could become a freaking millionaire.
That scene with the Handmaids introducing themselves to each other was so moving and powerful. The music in the background nearly made me cry. This is how the revolution starts. And I'm so happy Emily and Janine are back.
