This show really isn’t for the faint of heart. I managed to convince my girlfriend to give it a try and she said she’s been scarred for life and can’t unsee what she saw in the first 2 episodes of season 1. Had she binge watched the entire series up to the end of season 3, I wonder how she’d have reacted because the capitol incident took place barely a week after she attempted to watch this show. Even i freaked out.

This episode was nerve wrecking. I can only imagine the pain she’s had to deal with while those who didn’t experience what she and the other women went through just expects them to move on and act like nothing happened. Ok, now you’re out, you’re safe, we’ve heard you, sorry about what happened to you. Alright it’s time to move on.

I was super pissed when the deal to grant Fred and Serena immunity was made. I really would have stopped watching this show had he actually made the trip to Geneva.
What’s sad is i work in the intelligence community and i know and have seen this shit happen alot behind the scene. Anyway, for what it’s worth, i think fred got only a fraction of what he actually deserves, but considering the alternative, I’ll take this jungle justice, and i hope they reserve the grand prize for the gender traitor called Serena. I keep saying the biggest problem we have as women isn’t men but other women.

So very well said! But I think I hate Aunt Lydia more than Serena. Serena’s just weak. Aunt Lydia literally hates her own gender. My grandmother was like that. I feel bad for your girlfriend, but also a little jealous: I’ve watched so much disturbing crap that things like this show hardly ever faze me. However there are things once seen you’d do anything to un-see and it sounds like she probably sleeps a lot better than I do at night. Fred seriously should have been turned into Gilead. While I enjoyed seeing him up on the wall the physical torture isn’t really fitting punishment. I wish his punishment was more psychological; being turned over to the monster he created would have been HIS worst nightmare. The humiliation, the shame, the loss of all power and esteem, feeling helpless as all his peers turn their backs in disappointment, and finally watching someone else raise his child before being put on the wall himself - that I think would have been much worse for him. It almost feels as if he got off light to me. However, I don’t think it’s his kid. I think Serena was banging the CIA rep. I really want to see that kid taken away from Serena.
