Holly

Sounds about right.

"5 minutes"

Review needs 150 characters to post. That's more than I can say for this episode.

Another person in Gilead who can't function behind the wheel of a car.

Are they just handing out participation licenses in drivers Ed there?

Elizabeth Moss is a force to be reckoned with and this episode showcases that once again. Loved her backstory about her daughter.

I promised you!" But will this world be the one shes a part of or will she keep her promise now that she brought Holly into this world and promised not to introduce her child to this tryanny and Gilaed filled America that once pledged alloedgiece and raping was for the men locked away in prisons or wanted on the gritty streets. Not addressed as lord commanders! A world taken over by men with laws to oppress women and blame them for the lack of fertility. Of course this is expressed in the best light possible. Woman can also he found in the colonies where their teeth fall out daily.

But in this episode, June fights and fights showing why women are so strong and persevere! She continues to fight to survive. It's all captured beautifully from above with amazing camera views as she runs treading the snow with a belly about to burst. A red figure surrounded by all white. Breathless but alone! Shes always been alone but she fights and survives. This was Elizabeth Moss powerhouse performance!

The flashbacks are memorizing and sensational and show the powerful tone of the moments. The character develipmemt! In the end she doesnt shoot the Waterfords but instead shoots for help, as she aims the shotgun this time towards the sky maybe perhaps, God? She shoots for help for another survival. Holly. Her promise afterall. Will she keep it or be the oath breaker?

Right off the bat, I want to say that I love this show. Also, I rarely give anything a rating under seven. but this episode was pretty much a waste of time, except for about the last 10 minutes. One thing I've been noticing lately are shows will spend 3 minutes just watching someone walk somewhere or 3 minutes just watching a character think or cry. I'm okay with the slow burn, but this is a whole other thing.

About 45 minutes of this episode is just watching Offred walk around a house, stop to think, walk around some more, etc. Then every 10 minutes or so you get a 1-2 minute scene with dialogue. They could have put the 10 minutes of the important stuff into another episode and saved us a lot of time.

And like I said, I love this show and this is the first episode that I've rated below an 8. So that's saying something.

Well most of the critics think this was a disappointment, I think this whole episode showed a woman desperate to escape but could not, obviously due the overall story being about babies etc I thought Moss carried the episode yes, but it could only be done this way so her story could be told. The critics are way out or just blind to the story
