When I watched again I think pregnant or not seeing her daughter is what pushed her over the edge. That is when she started with the f you and you too and you over there - f you too, and f all of this.

OK but how could it hurt that bad? The sounds they did made it seem like it was going INTO HER BRAIN.

I don't think it went into her ear. It appeared that the gun was pressed to her head just above her ear.

Yeah, like a tracker or something. But those don't go in the head. (I know this due to other TV shows and movies, lol).

Anyway the sounds. Just something in the ear would not be that painful. GOD. This horrible Gilead. I am really excited for next season. I loved the 'It's a New Dawn, a New Day' song playing as the handmaids walked back from their defiant act. Hell, yeah! It's a new day around here, cowboys. Praised Be, biatches!

The series covered the book, but it did change quite a few things. The first several episodes stuck mostly to the book, but often told things in a different order. The later episodes took a lot more creative liberties.
Some examples:
- You never know exactly what happened to Luke in the book.
- Ofglen's story (the first Ofglen- Alexis Bledel) is quite different. She is with Offred all the way to the end. I thought Ofglen hung her self or that's what Ofred is told
- The stoning- in the book it is not another handmaid .
- Janine and her baby have a different story line June/Ofred does not like Janine in the book,,,at all!
- Moira's story ends quite differentlywe don't really know what happens to Moira after the brothel--June only goes to the brothel once
- Serena shows Offred a picture of her daughter early on as a bribe to get her to sleep with Nick. They never go see her
- There are two Marthas in the book, and one is pretty mean towards Offred.Rita the one on the show is not particularly nice to June, Cora, who's not on the show is warm and seems to care for June.

I do definitely recommend reading the book. I understand a lot of the changes made to the series- they are likely setting up the next season.
The first season covers the general aspect of the book and added a lot more detail than we get in the book.

Yeah, I was leaving it vague because I think a few were interested in reading it. I didn't want to spoil it for them....

I thought it was an ear cuff they put on them. It looked like a very crude piercing gun and it probably goes all the way through the ear so it cannot be removed


When she goes to the brothel with the Commander, there's a good shot of it when he pulls her hair over it so it's not so obvious she's not a wife

It's a 30 year old book...I don't think anything is a spoiler if it has been out that long.

Yes, you can see it well in that scene. I think it would be downright painful. This is not a piercing of the earlobe. It's a cuff (not even a small hole) in the cartilidge.
