    Calling it now:

    Either Nick or Luke (or both) are going to get killed trying to rescue Hanna

    Maybe, and/or she works with Nick to get Fred brought back to Gilead in exchange for him helping her with Hannah.

    Possibly, though I think the June rage is going to make for some violent turns.

    Yes, I'm torn between whether she does something impulsively violent or plottingly sneaky.

    Im thinking a rescue plan will be put together. Either something goes wrong along the way and/or June has an opportunity to exact revenge and does it with joy.

    About what I expected, but executed better than I thought it could be (as ridiculous as it all was). Just, wow! Very satisfying, especially after the waste of the past four episodes or so.

    A little confused by her reaction to her husband at the end, but clearly that relationship is dead anyway. She is literally the biggest power broker in the entire world with Gilead given her two commander connections. I feel like she must wind up with Nick in the end or they go down swinging together.

    She’s definitely going to turn Serena into a bigger monster, and everyone knows she’s the smarter of the 2.

    Wow, this show. A fucking emotional roller coaster that I don’t want but for some reason keep coming back to. I was expecting positive catharsis, but it is almost more depressing than ever. There is no positive. Even positives feel bad.

    Really want to jump back in tonight but knowing you have to wait another whole week for the next episode is particularly rough with this show.

    I'll probably wait until there's a few out.

    Weird amount of silence itt

    Did everyone finish the season; kind of losing interest? How was the season?

    We still haven't jumped in,

    Losing interest. I watched. I thought it was pretty good for this point in the story line.

    Im a victim of the sunk cost fallacy here. Ive watched it this long. I'll probably stick it out until the end.

    The sweet spots for great series are really this 4-5 seasons. I think if this had been the final season, it would have gotten a lot more hype...but knowing everyone is signing on for multiple seasons makes it tough to keep watching the same thing.

    I feel the same. Recycled dumb storylines and enemies to allies through manufactured shared experiences felt forced.

    This is where my wife and I are at. It's getting a little stale but we're pot committed. I can handle 1 more season before quitting
