The Handmaid's Tale Season 4 | OT | Now streaming on Hulu
- Thread starter bye
- Start date
Covered by a bag.
They also joke about him not being dead on One Burning Question, due to those ever-tricksy writers...
Keep in mind I do believe he's dead.
unless
Satisfying finale, but certainly ridiculous. I mostly stopped questioning plot holes and contrivances to just enjoy the ride long ago.
I liked this season more than 3 and probably 2 where it was just endless loops and wheel spinning. At least we're heading towards an actual ending.

That was a cathartic ending, and expertly directed and edited. Loved the flashbacks to further reinforce the final few scenes. Honesty, this coulda been a series finale. I loved it.
In regards to how Nick sudden growth in power; you have to remember he wasn't just a driver. He was an under cover Eye for Gilead, and one of the revolutionaries who attacked DC. He was planted to watch the Waterford's as nobody trust anyone in Gilead. Think of Soviet Russia or other similar regimes. Often times secret police/intelligence agents supersede regular chains of government. Even Putin, was a lowly KGB administrator at one time. Stalin was a gangster. With proper influence and maneuvering men like these can attain power.
There is a power struggle in Gilead happening off screen. I honestly don't think June or anyone will topple Gilead. After all they need something Incase they decide on a sequel series.

The amount of plot holes and contrivances completely took the legs from the impact of the final scene. I couldn't even process my feelings for the finale because I was still wrapping my head around how stupid everyone in this universe must be for this chain of events to unfold. Gilead is this impossible to topple powerhouse until they need to be incredibly dumb in order to have the plot move to the next girl boss moment.
I hate to say it but this show is unraveling like the later seasons of GoT. Nick teleporting around like Littlefinger out here.

I'm up to episode 4 atm and I've read the comments here up to that point.
I'd consider myself a pretty cynical person irl but I guess with TV/film I'm happy to suspend my disbelief. None of the common complaints or observations here even crossed my mind. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the show.

I don't see it weird that June
is bad
So I have a question about the ending. June says to Luke she only needs five minutes. I feel this opens up room for several interpretations. Does she get in legal trouble in Canada for what she did despite it happening outside of Canada? Or is she telling Luke that she can no longer live with them and Nichole? It could be all of that but it certainly imply that settling down to raise Nichole is definitely not happening.
I think the highlight of this season is that the years of living in Gilead completely killed off the June from before Gilead. She is damaged in so many ways that she seems evil. I understand considering the horrors we have witnessed the past 4 seasons. Especially this one. Regardless, the show needs to wrap up.

I think the implication was that Luke knew what June had done and I think wasnt cool with it. But I also see June being in trouble with the Canadian authorities. So next season she could literally be anywhere, on the run from Canada, while trying to find her other daughter still in Gilead.
It pretty much confirms that she is probably going back to Gilead to get Hannah.
Did this get any better in the second half of the season? I dipped out after the stupid van/train thing.
Yeah weird lol, I had no idea that was the finale and it really didn't feel like a finale.
I think I'm done with the show if it does come back for another season. It's been pretty dumb since season 2 really and hasn't gotten any better.

I don't remember where we last left her character but I'm pretty sure they were planning on making her even more prominent in the story so I wonder what happened?

Yeah they can easily justify her character being gone from the show as Emily was in a decent place in S4. Luke will mention something about her spending more time with her wife/kid im sure
Wasn't Emily becoming more radical and encouraging violent behavior from the other ex handmaids or am I thinking of June? (Or was it both of them?)
That was June. She hijacked that emotional support group at the end of last season and made it about revenge.
I could've sworn Emily was like her right hand or something but maybe I'm misremembering. I know Moira was against it.
I think she was getting that way towards the Martha that they confronted in the support group. But at the end of the season, the Martha ended up committing suicide.
