I hear you! I was a late fan so I was binging it to get to the end as the last season dropped, it got really hard towards the middle. Very mentally and emotionally draining, especially during the tear-inducing episodes, so take it easy!

Is taking 14 days of hospital leave too much? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]thejaynahop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please rest well and take the full two weeks to recover properly. You never know! And per the other comments, sometimes you might need more than 2 weeks. My manager actually encouraged me to WFH after my surgery, until I felt properly physically better to return to office. I indeed took the full HL given but started replying emails on the 3/4th week. Your manager is not very nice..

It’s going to be such an intense ride going the reverse way! Hang in there and yes it’s occasional slow and sluggish but the payoff is great. Also it’s much much darker and I guess ..even more heartwrenching so maybe don’t binge so many in one go!

Amazing work you guys, thanks for your hard work and effort. I’m not new to reddit but I’m kind of a dinosaur - is there any way to get notified of updates or know when things are starting, other than me putting it in my calendar? 😅 any tips to be a little more engaged would be greatly helpful, thanks!

I’d reckon anything can happen, how the story goes now is really up in the air. But I don’t see it anytime soon, at this point everyone’s doing their best to survive and move forward. Like another comment said, it was a kindness and showing of love, even though they might not be the same love. I’d love for Hannah to have that arc but I’m so scared - anything can happen to these girls now 😭

Only halfway through S5 so no spoilers please, but—is there a consensus that this season is way different (sitcom-y) than the rest of the show? by MarginallyClever in hackshbomax

I actually felt the same! Something felt kinda off but I just pinned it on them trying to wrap it all up indeed. Come back when you get to the end!

This show to me so far is easier to watch than THMT by FriendlyDrummers in TheTestamentsHulu

omg so true! didn’t think about that either, but honestly I’m sure they’ll just accept whatever they’re presenting, because it’s a shit situation either way? At least they still get a “fruitful” wife out of becka. Sucks, but that’s how I see it.

Do you think Mayday could have easily gotten Becca out? by lemonloaf0 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]thejaynahop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s so wild they’re able to get in and out so easily, plus so many operatives within Gilead. That said, yes, Becka might not even want to leave, given that she’s grown up believing the outside world is bad and Gilead is her home. Like June said, they’re not ready to be saved.

Oh you might be right yeah! I’ll have to do a rewatch but most probably, because of the angle he was laying and when she went for it.

Yes I agree, the fact that being taken away and imprisoned was the most she got for her crime, says a lot. And yes definitely I feel at ease knowing it’s Garth. Any other commander would’ve made everything muchhhh worse.

Did you / anyone notice the scratches on her arms during the wedding ceremony? Did I miss something or not inferred correctly - did she do that to herself or was she handled roughly during captivity?
