The book is about power and misogyny. The show was at first, but now it is becoming something else in order to expand its universe so that it can put out more seasons and milk the audience for money.

You are a troll.
Nope.
The issue with it being a worldwide fertility problem where women are no longer able to give birth with the exception of a few is that now there is "justification" for why Gilead has turned inside out and become so oppressive. It's more Children of Men where people are panicking because humans altogether are going…
That's exactly how I feel.
I don't care about his character at all and I am annoyed that they wasted a whole episode on him and how he became part of the resistance.
Hit the nail on the head. They have Offred acting like Katniss in this show. Offred in the book became complacent and I think that was one of themes of Margaret's book. This world-building totally erases compelling argument the book made.
I thought I was the only one who felt like the showrunners are shaping this into an adult Hunger Games. It sucks.
This episode was worse than the last. The show is really starting to veer away from the book and that isn't a good thing.
What? I meant that Nora and Matt would most likely tell them that she committed suicide.
She is mean to other people most of the time, but honestly, most of the other characters have done much worse than Nora's frequent snide remarks and rudeness.
Because she had already traumatized Jill enough when she abandoned her for a cult.
They are mentally ill. Certainly one is not mentally healthy if they want to kill them selves.
Yes, born, raised, and still a practicing member.
Doesn't that mean she's doing a bad job? Nora is a main character who went through something very traumatic. You're supposed to care about her.
Well, one would hope that having children who love you and want to share their life with you would deter you from killing yourself. However, that is not the case since suicidal persons are mentally ill and you're right. It is about them. But can't only thinking of yourself also be described as selfish? Just because…
I don't think she's dead.
Which is why I pointed out that there is LGBTQ separatism in this show and only one LGBTQ character who we are able to see the point of view from because she is able to give birth. The colorblind society they have crafted is dishonest at best.
There is also LGBT separatism on this show and in the book. There is really only one essential character who is LGBTQ because she is fertile. The rest are either murdered or sent to the Colonies where they will meet death. You can argue that the difference is that we can see the perspective of at least one LGBTQ…
I mean, is the show also homophobic and sexist because Gilead is? There is a way to showcase that societies are bigoted without supporting their ideas.
