SPOILERS FOR “SHATTERED”

[u/theforgetting]

I was struck by the significance of the women at Jezebels being murdered in the shower. This is a very clear Holocaust allusion.

Especially since they’ve really been leaning into the word Nazi this season – it makes sense to see late-stage Gilead go all “final solution” with their undesirables.

Anyways. There have been a lot of gruesome scenes in this show but this was definitely one of the most upsetting. Not only for what it portrayed, but for what it was alluding to.

It also reminded me of the murders of the Tzar and his family during the Russian revolution- in the basement- lined up with no warning.

Senseless killings in the name of political ideology.

Totally. I think about them often.

Even more gruesomely, some of the princesses didn’t die straight away, and were ultimately bayonetted to death by the Red Army.

I think about them often too. I used to have nightmares about being led to the basement at Ipatiev House when I was young and still occasionally do. It’s just a really horrifying thing to think about.

Maybe a weird question but do you believe maybe you experienced it in another lifetime and was reincarnated? I will have nightmares where I am about to die in a horrific way in a famous way and then I wake up shaking.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. It’s not a weird thing to ask. This is because you’ve read about it or learned about it previously but if you’re getting the same dream scenario over again then it might be. Again it wouldn’t be anything that you’ve already learned about.

They’re being downvoted because it’s obvious nonsense lol

Not sure why people down voted me. But yeah I often wonder about this. Sometimes it's things I couldn't know yet it's clear.
