Holly

Moss definitely carried this episode and she really better win the Emmy. The tension was high for me but won't reveal any spoilers was a little disappointed in the end. Let's see what the next 2 give us for an ending.

So many people giving this low reviews because it's "slow"....... this episode had me maybe the most emotional in the entire series. Elisabeth moss is PHENOMENAL. This episode is powerful and important and incredibly acted and directed. I am literally blown away. There was barely any dialogue in this entire episode and I still feel so much, THAT is a mark of exceptional television. All those hating on this episode are too easily bored, pay attention to what makes amazing tv amazing.

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?

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

A big big episode. I can't wait for the 2 last of this season
