Sorry....JUST KIDDING ! ! !
On another note, though: I just read here today there will be a Season 2. I wonder if it will be flashbacks to how Gilead was formed, or will it follow June on her underground flight...or what.
.
I'd like to see the colonies and how the whole thing came to an end. Or even an outside perspective on Gilead, from other places in the world. It probably won't be that though.
Whatever it is, it better be as interesting as the current story is.
I would think that June trying to find and reclaim her daughter would be a focus at some point. But Yes, they could create MANY different paths surrounding this environment. I don't know if you've read the novel, but it ends with an academic lecture about the manuscript (and the Gileadian society) given at a convention centuries later.
.
I've read it, but I have a crap memory when it comes to these things. I do remember the lecture though, and I've been looking forward to that scene.
I guess we'd be following June still in the second season. And the other women as well (they seem to have expanded their characters). From what I remember it was a tape that June had recorded, so seeing how she got to tell her story would be in the realm of possibility in season two. And all the events that led to that. Something more on the aunts, and their "origin stories" would be nice too (Aunt Lydia in particular). They seem to be breaking the first person perspective with Ofglen, so why not her?
Yes ...... (SPOILERS)
They later found a set of about 26 cassette tapes in an army locker in an attic in Bangor, Maine...perhaps a safe house on the "Underground Frailroad" that got women out of Gilead (which apparently included Boston, MA) and off to Canada or England. The tapes were June's memoirs (ie, the rest of the book) made while she was in hiding.
It's funny that to disguise their true contents, the tapes were over-dubbed onto pre-existing music albums, like "Elvis Presley's Greatest Hits" and "Twisted Sister at Carnegie Hall" (!)
And the professor lecturing talks about how hard it was to recreate a machine to play the cassettes, as they're such ANCIENT technology : )
.
According to some people today, cassettes are already ancient technology...
I wonder if they're going to keep the cassettes, or update the technology and use CD's or USB flash drives. Idk if you can disguise anything on those though. But Twisted Sister is a fitting title for that society...
I wonder if Margaret Atwood will contribute material.
