precision posted:The novel ends on a hopeful, but ambiguous, note. Then there's an epilogue that is unambiguously "good" (the regime we see in the show only lasts like 10 years) I saw a semi-joking quote from Margaret Atwood in the newspaper the other day about how she finally has to work out what happens to Offred after the book ends after being asked about it incessantly for 30 years. She rules

 I presented my senior thesis about The Handmaid's Tale in the room where they did the scene where the US government in exile gives Luke the letter from June. And I lived a block away from the "Little America" park for 4 years--it's the Esplanade in Toronto. I also like that they left the CN Tower prominently in all the shots. I don't know how they could tailor this show to me any more than they have.

precision posted:I would be totally okay with it if season 2 has this show become a spy thriller about June and Lucas infiltrating/taking down Gilead. They've done a really good job with the new material so far. I've been curious about stuff like the resistance and what life was like up in Canada for years.

BJPaskoff posted:It was reasoned in the interview by "fertility trumps all". I actually kind of like this, it's a divergence from the book that makes logical sense while also fitting in more with 2017 minority representation vs. the 1980s.

There Bias Two posted:They'd be purged. I like that they're alluding to (book spoiler) the first set of purges that they mention in the epilogue, where Waterford is killed for being in possession of illegal material and "harboring a subversive" My guess is the season will end with some of that stuff as opposed to what happens at the end of the book.

Just watched the new episode and holy loving poo poo And Moira is the baddest of bad asses, I'm so glad that they kept her in the show as opposed to the book, where her and June meet for the last and only time at Jezebel's.

Slowpoke Rodriguez posted:I feel like Nick is a much more well done character than he is getting credit for. They are trying to walk a line, his performance is subdued, because the character has to be subdued. He would not be able to survive in the hellscape he was complicit in creating otherwise. He's also much more well rounded than he was in the book, I really really enjoyed his flashback scenes.

I totally lost my poo poo and started crying when Luke showed up at the refugee centre for Moira, because he put her on his family alert list
