Execution

First words go the the brilliant author Margaret Attwood, who almost was a Sibylla for present times.

Next, all the actors and team, I have re-watched the ending 5 times now, the pace, the emotion.

Can I talk about Adam Taylor score? Because since day 1, he treaded a score so rich and full of emotion, and a lot of people seem to not notice it.

The ending score for this episode was perfection - I could see Bradley Whitford feelings through his acting, but I could feel his character feelings (and Moss's) through that last music title.

Elizabeth Moss is a powerhouse and directed this amazing piece of art. The cast is a full powerhouse in itself. I'm going to miss this show.

I cried, but this was redemption. And full of hope.

How many solo speaches does June get?? Well, when June is the director, as many as she wants. This season should have been titled "June's Tale."

This season is ok, but nothing compared to the early seasons. Decent story, ok acting but very shallow with so many stupid twists and ludicrous details and ideas. Luckily June wasn't involved in everything. Wait... oh yeah, she was. This would have been so much better with multiple spotlights on multiple characters as opposed to a singular character with a supporting cast that can't survive without her.

I'm hoping this is the last season, they should have stopped two seasons ago.

This episode had me sobbing!!! Incredibly gut wrenching! It hit me in ALL the feels. So deeply touching and emotional, especially for all the invested fans who have followed the show over the years. It left me with so many mixed emotions. Mainly excruciating sadness coupled with some satisfaction from closure, because the end actually made sense, in the most tragic way. A full circle. What goes around comes around. But the permanent implications of it are so, so sad. It's devastating that things had to be this way. Years worth of plotlines and character development culminated in the gravity of a single scene. It was emotionally overwhelming. Tragic, but poetically just. Beautiful storytelling! And some AMAZING cinematography.

Elizabeth Moss is a MASTER at communicating emotion through facial expressions. I knew exactly what she was feeling, not only in the most tragic scene, but in every scene. She had some awesome monologues in this episode that included beautiful messages of freedom, justice, hope, and love. This episode also had plenty of suspense and multiple twists. But again... that ending!!! Oof!

Exceeded every expectation. This is THE episode fans have been waiting for since we first heard the words, "My name is June". It was worth the wait!

I loved some of the surprises the writers came up with (a spy, oh my). A protagonist that finally, finally, listens to others. A conscientious objector turned superhero when the chips were really down. Even a Cinderella moment squeezed in there. I screamed, I cried, I rewatched. What I most loved about this episode was its accurate portrayal of America, otherwise known as "We the people...". This episode nailed it.

Great directing by Elizabeth Moss on every second of this episode!

I'm not going to get into the nitty gritty for fear of spoilers, but I'll say that I've been waiting a long time to see most of this episode unfold. Stunning scenes with iconic imagery that will surely live on in TV history books. Finally the oppressed rise up and take back their autonomy! Moss' directing was well done, the camera angles, and pacing all seemed more like silver screen footage than anything from a television show. Superb acting, writing, cinematography, vfx. Well done! This series is truly an example of the golden age of TV! This episode will stay with me for a long time, and will surely inspire me to give more in life when I feel like giving up!
