my friend texted me about this but only said "Did you hear about Alexis Bledel??" and I thought she had died and I almost had a heart attack

LMAO

Lmao

Lol, your friend sounds like my friend.

She was so good as Emily. I hope they won't make her suffer even more and assign her to yet another rapist.

Erm, aren't all of the Commanders rapists, tho?

yeah kind of a weird comment?

oh good because this is her best role!!

Who knew Alexis Bledel would be the one to make me cry watching this... I'm so glad she'll be back for season 2.

This is going to be really interesting. I'm guessing we're going to see a lot of what happens to people taken away by the Eyes/Guardians.

thank god

still surprised by her performance

I am still not sure if I am entirely on board with them doing a second season. The book had such a perfect ending and I really don't know how they can manage not to fuck up a continuation. I assume this will still focus on June/Offred and I cannot wrap my mind around this. Will she go back to commander Creepyvoice's house because of her daughter? Will we get Action Offred on the run?

I'm curious about this, too. Did Nick set something up for her to get away since she's pregnant or is she with the Eyes? I guess we'll find out.

In the book Nick gets her out but we don't know much beyond that.

Was there ever a post on the finale? I don't remember seeing one. Anyway, I'm so happy Moira made it out and I'm of two minds about Offred's ending. I like that it's open but I need to know what's happening to her! I want her to go set Serena Joy's house on fire (with SJ and the commander still inside), get her baby and run. Maybe next season.

yeah there was a post the season finale
check the "television - hulu" tag

I went and looked right after asking. lol. Thanks.

she really surprised me in this. who knew that she could act after all

I don't want to wait a year for this 😠

Good. Also hoping we'll see more of Ann Dowd.

Underrated thespian queen!

She was so creepy this season!

I've never seen this show but see it advertised on Hulu all the time. I think I might give it a shot now since I love Alexis Bledel

it's intense, but alexis is great

I was actually shocked that alexis was good in this tbh

I've only seen the first 3 episodes (I've been waiting until the season ended so I could binge watch it), and I was really surprised by her.

She's amazing in it, it's her best role to date!

I love an underdog!
Glad to see she showed off those hidden acting skills

I'm surprised, I thought [spoilers?]she was dead for sure

Me too.

I always maintain with major characters if you don't see them die then they're probably not dead.

RIP Tara from True Blood lol

I thought she was too, but then again we didn't see it on screen so I thought there was a possibility she wasn't.

I always thought that [Spoiler (click to open)]her being fertile means they can't afford to kill her.

i haven't seen the last 2 eps so this might not make sense but it could also [Spoiler (click to open)] be in flashbacks or backstory about the resistance/events leading up to her death? i felt sure she was dead too, but it could be interesting to do a season / some eps focused on her involvement with mayday before her death? but either way i'm glad to see more alexis/emily on screen

Same but I'm glad we seem to be wrong lol

I did too
