This is how it played out in my head👆

I may or may not have been screaming: “It’s done! He’s had it! He’s on a war path! He will no longer be silent! He’s about to be fucking loud!” *punches Lawrence in the face* “That’s right! That’s the love of his fucking life and you better watch the fuck out! He’s not playing anymore!”

Anyone else?😂

Justice THT Style - Part 2 - Nick Blaine

Today we're looking at the enigmatic Nick Blaine and his road to true justice. Let's get started.

For 5 seasons Blaine has been wandering the streets of Gilead as an Eye and now a military Commander, his very job description determines that like it or not, he’s a source of Gilead justice. He might not say a Hell of a lot but if you live in Gilead, its definitely not a promising sign when he turns up at your door if you’ve misbehaved. He’s constantly quoting bible verses that have a very “fuck around and find out” quality to them, in fact dear old Fred got a mouth full of the whole “reap what you sow” business, just prior to his demise. In season 1 Nicks sense of justice seems more procedural rather than retributive but he’s green and yet to see what Gilead will do to the love of his life. “No ones above the law” he says in S1 but this is fanciful idealism, these commanders are rotten to the core and he’ll have to drown himself in blood to get them to behave like virtuous men. He’s a peaceful man, restrained and noticeably stoic, but watching the various ways that the Waterfords and Gilead tortured and crushed June, is more than he can stomach. When Nick joins June in those dark woods handing Fred over for the revenge she so desperately craves, he doesn’t take part in the Salvaging, it’s a ritual only performed by Handmaids and as such he knows it’s not his place. Instead he silently marches Fred through the woods, ignoring his pleas, to deliver him to June and leaves.

Historically when it comes to acts of justice and revenge Blaine acts as more of an intermediary, justice will be served, not directly by his hand, but he does make sure that everyone “gets to the church on time”. But lately we’ve seen the sands shifting, from season 4 we’ve witnessed instances Blaine will directly take a pound of flesh and I personally wish him well. In season 4 ep 10 he back hands a mouthy Fred, a call back to a slap Fred previously delivered to June, as Nick stood there horrified and helpless. With that one gesture he redresses the balance and takes back his power.

In Season 5 he shot Putnam for raping a handmaid, and while under the guise of Gilead justice, Blaine was more than happy to oblige for his own reasons. In Ep 10 he became enraged at an attempt on Junes life, ending with a bit of a throw down with Lawrence in front of the evil Commander McKenzie. This moment crystalized that Nick Blaine was becoming both increasingly dangerous and unpredictable. It also foreshadowed the Battle Royale we can expect between these three in season 6. With Blaine being such a purveyor of New Testament scripture that espouses forgiveness and love, he’s inclined to feel a great deal of guilt over any act of revenge. It suits him, a sense of guilt gives a character an aura of contemplation and depth, something that Blaine seems to swim in. Comparatively, a lack of appropriate guilt makes a character seem sociopathic and superficial. Blaine’s “tried to be nice about it” as they say, but unfortunately he lives in Gilead and well, Gilead’s gonna Gilead, so as Lawrence would say “enough of the carrot, time for the stick”.

It’s been interesting to note that scenes of Blaine at war were cut, participating in a war against a peaceful country sits poorly with a character who has such a balanced sense of justice. There is always a difference between referring to a character at war and actually SHOWING one picking up a gun and shooting it at an innocent. Showing these types of acts makes an effective redemption arc almost impossible to survive and lowers the chances of welcoming that character back into the fold at the end of the day. The fact that these scenes were cut significantly increases Blaine's chances of coming home.

Until season 4 we never saw Blaine engage in any acts of direct violence that weren’t as a result of self defence, when he did commit them, they could be traced back to his feelings of anger at witnessing June’s abuse. In Season 5 he became increasingly dark and lost hope, ala Godfather style, because he’d lost the one glimmer of light in his life: June.

It would have been unusual for writers NOT to show him descending into a place of darkness without her. She’s everything to him and now with Tuello holding out his hand he can just see her again standing on the distant horizon. God help whoever stands in his way.

Next up Serena and the Nick Blaine of Canada: Tuello.

June definitely leaves Nick with food for thought…

In other words - be the example you want to be for Nicole & fight for what’s right!

I’m optimistic about the finale and I do believe tables are about to completely turn!

“I want to know him, memorize him, so I can live on the image later.”

Please tell me that’s what she’s doing, that he’s constantly on her mind, that her feelings for him are even stronger now that they’re apart, that she hasn’t forgotten about him, that her memories of him are vivid and clear, that she misses him every single day, that she values him, that even if thinking of him is too painful she still dreams about a future together.

Please tell me that she knows she’s settling with Luke, that she will always love him but that she’s not in love with him anymore, that she knows that she deserves something better, that she deserves true and unconditional love and someone that completely accepts and respects her, that values her and lets her be her true self. Someone that doesn’t force her to fit into a box, someone that lets her express freely and make her own decisions, that treats and sees her as a magnificent human being, imperfectly perfect.

Manifesting thoughts about what would a be a great THT s6 episode/scene - June has caused more havoc for Gilead so she's on the run in hiding. Nick has played his final hand pretending to be part of the Gilead machine and Mackenzie is insisting Gilead uses the fact that Nick is baby Holly's biological father as a plot for her to be returned to Gilead...so N&J fake their deaths and go underground together. Before they do though, Holly is given to TT foster parents and Nick gives her his dog tags (or that watch he always wears) and June give her the s5 locket she wears around her neck as keepsakes for Holly from her parents.

Thoughts? Would love to hear other manifestations for s6 🙂

Snippet from my Osblaine post Oct 11th 2022:

“I’ll support the man who risked everything he could to save June’s life, get her out of Gilead territory and makes her safety a #1 priority. Nick Blaine has always sacrificed everything for June, even his own happiness.”

I have… sooooo much to say. But my 5x10 review will be coming later. For now, I will say this: Despite the mess that Season 5 of The Handmaids Tale was, not once did I give up hope for Nick and June. People doubted, people lost faith, even argued my position, but still—I remained hopeful and believed in them, Nick’s love and devotion to her and Nichole, and that their love would shine by the end of this season.
