So….. Agnes & Becka? (Please do not talk about the books)

I see something was going right from the first episode and that is, honestly, got me hooked.

I am following Chase Infinity since I saw her in OBAA, so I watched this only because of her without even finishing THT.

I am used to GL Movies, so of course, when she mentioned that girl and how close they were, i immediately knew something was up.

Then Becka mentioned how she doesn’t want to have an husband while looking at Agnes like she was already being tortured for loving a woman and of course, in the last episode, that dance scene ……

I don’t think Agnes feels nothing for her. Agnes just doesn’t know loving a woman is something she can do.

But Becka knows already that what she is feeling is not how she should feel and already questioning this.

I dont want any of them to die, but being a wh*re for GL stories that end well, i hope they will get to be in an happy relationship together !!!

But lets be real, THT isn’t a show where being end up happy.

So? What are you feelings about this?

Aunt Lydia, forgive or not to forgive?

Hey so I genuinely do not know how she came back and became “Great Aunt”. Not only did we see in the end of THT, her potentially dying and speaking heresy.

But I’m actually starting to just let my mind wander and forgive her. I feel like she’s kinda falling into neutral territory for me. i lowkey kinda hate it. Especially after she told aunt Veda. to shut up and let them eat cake Ep4 🤷‍♀️

(I remember what she did to Emily, but she also did also break a mirror like a complete pyscho in THT, so i kinda believing shes, afrer everything, is in neutral crazy territory

Hulda significance?

Agnes makes a point of saying women aren't taught science when Paula talks about her prefrontal cortex developing and Agnes has no idea what that means. Yet Hulda is shown talking about "high pressure weather systems" and "bioflavonoids." I can't see any reason the Plums would be taught about barometric pressure. Family nutrition maybe? But I feel like they wouldn't use scientific terms like bioflavonoid, they would just talk about what foods to prepare for healthy babies or whatever. Do you think Hulda could be secretly receiving a real education somehow?

Why does Daisy listen to the radio?

Initially I thought Daisy uses it to receive or transmit signals but it seems that she just listens to music. It seems very risky. What a stupid way to get caught.

Can Econowives work for their husbands?

In episode 4 we saw an Econowife working as a florist. I assume it was her husband's flower shop. So does this mean Economen can use their wives (or daughters) labor in their business provided of course it doesn't involve reading and they aren't paid? I can see how Gilead would tolerate stuff like that out of necessity. In one episode of the Handmaids Tale Luke posed as a driver and a female Mayday operative possed as his wife without raising eyebrows.

Radio Free Boston ~

So the high pitched tone at the very end of episode 4. Does that signify that Boston is being under attack/possibly Gilead is taking it back? Is Daisy on her own now? Is MayDay done for? Such a good episode!

A hole in The Testaments?

How can Agnes/Hanna and Daisy/Nicole be about the same age when at the end of Handmaid's Tale Daisy/Nicole was a toddler and Agnes/Hanna was like 7 or 8??? 🤔 🤨

Do “Pearls” have special privileges?

At the end of episode 2 the pearl girl is mockingly asked to go back to Toronto. But can she actually do that? Are pearls non-citizens of Gilead? If so, why are they allowed to endure the same punishments as the plums? And why are pearls in the same school as commanders daughters?

SHOW DISCUSSION: Any ideas about the pearl on Daisy’s ear?

I was thinking it might be like the tags the handmaids got, just prettier and less animal like. To make it seem as if this is completely different and their choice.What do you think?

Questions that we want answered (Ready for launch!)

Tomorrow, April 8, is the launch date for The Testaments show. In the meantime, we have at least one day to speculate!

Which questions do you have that you want answered in the show?

Mine is the architecture of Gilead in preparation - something we didn’t see much of in The Handmaid’s Tale. Who came up with the idea of the coup? How were the logistics handled? How were the Americans forced into Alaska and Hawaii and whose are the US territories?
