Been to all the other Merlin’s but not Alton Towers.

Considering going bank holiday weekend, doing the park on the saturday and water park sunday. Or doing Sun/Mon.

Considering the silver fast pass.

Am I crazy to attempt this over bank holiday in the summer holidays? Will we even get on much even with the fast passes? No idea what fast pass queues are like at this time as I only tend to go may/june/september.

All advice appreciated.

What Ofmatthew did to Hannah’s martha does not excuse what June did to Ofmatthew (telling Aunt Lydia she didn’t want her baby, resulting in her fate 💀).

I see some people say she deserved it etc but two wrongs don’t make a right. Surely Gilead proves that? They get angry when Janine’s eye is taken for being rude but they’re okay with driving Natalie to insanity because she reported June and the martha? She was just trying to survive, like everyone else.

Everyone who has survived Gilead (that we’ve seen) has done so at the expense of other people’s lives. Everyone. That’s all Natalie was doing.

It just makes me so sad every rewatch - thoughts?

Edit - the lack of critical thinking is absurd. I can’t read this anymore because of the number of people justifying what June did because Natalie didn’t “have to” report the martha. Guess what June didn’t “have to” tell aunt lydia what ofmatthew was thinking. June didn’t “have to” force the bread delivery driver to take her with him to his house, causing his death. June didn’t “have to” tell the eyes where the handmaids were on the farm. No one “has to” do these things, gun to their head. But to assume they have a choice is ridiculous. If you think otherwise, you probably shouldn’t watch the show

How did Hannah know what Daisy was talking about? Are they taught in school that a handmaid orchestrated Angels Flight/Night of Tears? That seems bizarre surely they would want to cover that up? And even so I don’t feel like that would be enough to earn June the title of “THE handmaid”?

Edit: I guess I’m just saying it’s not realistic that a regime like Gilead would tell people Boston & Night of Tears was orchestrated by a handmaid ie a woman. That implies June had power, and they don’t want women thinking they can have any power.
