When Emily mentioned how she had been a uni prof my mind went Rory approves.

She looks so pretty and classy in that pic.

I know right! It's stunning

Emmys: How Lenny Kravitz, Alexis Bledel and More Make the Most of Guest Roles | Hollywood Reporter

Quote:

Bledel plays Ofglen, formerly Emily, a handmaid who has ties to an underground resistance movement dubbed Mayday. After being surgically altered by Gilead authorities as punishment for being gay, Ofglen steals a car in her final scene in the series.

FAVORITE SCENE THIS SEASON: "When Ofglen is standing in the square, I think the trauma that she's been through is still very much alive for her. She's still processing everything physically and emotionally. As a member of Mayday, she is a character who is always looking either for an opportunity to escape or to rebel and make some sort of statement. When she sees that car door open, I think it's just an impulse. She decides in that moment that she's going to jump in. And I don't think she knows where it's going to go from there. She drives as far as she can, and it ends up being in circles. What she ends up doing, without a plan in mind, is making a statement — both to the guards and the handmaids — saying that she can have a moment of freedom even under the oppressive Gilead. It's a form of entertainment and inspiration for the handmaids because it's something the women witnessing it are going to tell the others about. Emily's hope is that it will inspire them to wonder what else a handmaid might be capable of."

Lol, that title had me confused for a second. I thought it said Lenny Kravitz was gonna guest star on this show.

Love that interpretation. Agreed that it was a powerful moment for the rest of the handmaids to see they can fight back.

Oo thats a good thought behind it

heartღaflutter · 06-15-2017, 02:30 AM

i like the thought behind it too!

No Emily in the last ep.. not that i was truly thinking that could happen but I do wonder if it is truly the last we've seen of her!

Slayerette89 · 06-17-2017, 01:57 AM

Same here. I think Bruce said in the comment after ep5 that they deliberately left the door open for her to maybe reappear. Though honestly I don't see how it's possible she wouldn't be killed after running that guy over. Would love to see her again of course, but it doesn't sound realistic.

heartღaflutter · 06-17-2017, 04:20 AM

it doesn't sound realistic no... but maybe we'll be surprised

FrellingTralk · 06-17-2017, 05:59 AM

I wondered if she might appear in flashbacks next season, because I think Alexis said that she would appear in season 2, but I agree it seems unlikely that Emily wasn't immediately killed for running that guy over. We even hear the gun shot off-screen

**wickedrum** · 06-17-2017, 10:12 AM

I don't know, people tend to reappear here after we/June think(s) them dead

la villanelle · 06-17-2017, 11:59 AM

A few episodes isn't enough

heartღaflutter · 06-18-2017, 03:22 AM

yeah it's all in June's POV so maybe she wasn't killed.. Maybe she even escaped?

la villanelle · 06-20-2017, 11:52 AM

I hope so

heartღaflutter · 06-20-2017, 01:27 PM

I'm hoping so as well.. that would be a nice difference from the book (where I've read other things about her character

)

She's in this vid! Some of the people in the vid did a shoot, I hope alexis did as well!
