"The handmaid's Tale" s04e10
SPOILERS.
The final scenes were some of the best scenes in the entire show. I'm so glad Fred got what he deserved, and the way it was done - by the women his system taught to kill evel men - was poetic. I love how "no man's land" turned out to be "women's land". How Fred proved he deserved it with every word he said ("I'm a man, I have rights!"). The chains in the van, the gun ("I know you can't shoot me." "All right"), the chase - he even fell like June did when she was chased in the very first episode - the words on the wall, Nick and Lawrence, the song. The finger. The entire show is a warning for passive people - don't let particular ideas spread or you can end up in a place like Gilead - but now it's also a warning for people who actively support them: you can't be sure they won't come back to you and bite you. "If you didn't want us to create an army, you shouldn't have given us uniforms."
