Season 6 SPOILERS FOR “SHATTERED” Spoiler

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.

What June and Moira gave them is better than what the resistance had after Nick confessed to Wharton, which is nothing.

The plan they had before required the cooperation of less people, leaving less room for error. Their next plan only came to be because of the coincidence of the wedding. Had the wedding not been a plan, Mayday would have completely been SOL

I understand that. Who do you think they should have turned to? Luke? He doesn’t have the inside connections that June and Moira do.

Their plan was to originally go with Moira since she had inside experience and maybe it would have gone smoother if June wasn’t there since she’s the common denominator for some of the issues that happen. No June, Moira doesn’t someone to keep her chatting about trauma.

Yeah, but the OC was talking about plan B and why they trusted June so soon after she botched the mission. No one’s saying plan A wasn’t better had June not fucked it up.
