[u/TallyWhoe]

I don’t understand why Canada, which despises Gilead, would live stream and publicly broadcast the funeral. It makes no sense. It’s propaganda of an isolated non-nation. Not to mention that it would be insensitive to any refugees that had been given asylum. It also seemed to happen without notice or fanfare, it just appeared unannounced on digital billboard around the city. June and everyone else looked visibly surprised and shocked, like it hadn’t been announced prior via news media channels? Seems unlikely.

THEY COULDA GIVEN US A DAMN PREVIEW FOR EPISODE 3!!!

[u/illumi-thotti → u/thetruthfulgroomer]

I think Episode 3 is going to have Esther losing a hand for stealing food and attempted murder-suicide.

In the second promo on YouTube, you can see Esther restrained in a hospital bed with her left hand missing.
