Well I’m very late the the party since I was waiting for some friends to catch up to me so we could watch “together” and I’m just going to ignore as best I can all of the plot holes. I know I’m in the minority, but I like June and Serena together, and I fantasize that before all is said and done, they, together with Lydia, bring about the takedown of Gilead.
Here is my take on the Canadians turning against the American refugees: the writers have been trying, albeit clunkily, to convey that the “ideals” of Gilead have been taking root in Canada. Gilead has been waging a huge PR campaign there. Remember when Serena was so heartened by all the demonstrators who were protesting for her? So more and more Canadians are pro Gilead, and anti American - does this make sense?
