Elisabeth Moss: Directing Herself and a Possible "Mad Men" Reunion?
Okay, so Elisabeth Moss – you know, the amazing Emmy-winning actress from The Handmaid's Tale – has been doing some seriously interesting stuff lately. First off, the final season of The Handmaid's Tale premiered on April 8th, and it's been a wild ride. June Osborne's journey is coming to a close, and let me tell you, it's a powerful one. I mean, seriously powerful.
Directing Herself? Talk About Pressure!
Moss recently chatted on Watch What Happens Live, and she talked about directing herself in the final season. Apparently, she took a pretty detached approach. She said something like, "I'm pretty cold about it...If I think I need to do something else, I do it again. I'm not emotional about it all." Honestly, that's both fascinating and a little terrifying! I can only imagine the pressure – directing yourself? Plus, she mentioned the narcissistic side of reviewing her own performance, and how much extra time that took for the crew and cast. You know how sometimes things just spiral?
Peggy Olson: The Comeback Kid?
Then the conversation turned to a potential "Mad Men" reboot, and Moss was totally on board. She basically said she'd jump at the chance to reprise her role as Peggy Olson. "I would never say, 'No,' to anything like that," she said. She talked about how important "Mad Men" was to her career and how much she loved playing Peggy. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Peggy Olson again? I'd be totally here for that!
New Bethlehem: A Glimmer of Hope (Or Is It?)
Season six introduced us to New Bethlehem, this reformist colony run by Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), and – get this – it’s surprisingly allied with Serena Joy Waterford! It’s supposed to be a less oppressive alternative to Gilead, but honestly, who saw that coming? Serena's involvement is particularly intriguing. Is this a genuine attempt at reform, or something far more sinister? This new community is definitely shaking things up. The whole thing is just incredibly complex and raises so many questions.
Unforgettable Moments: The Best of The Handmaid's Tale
Looking back at the previous five seasons, there were some truly unforgettable episodes. "The Word" (Season 2, Episode 13) was a total cliffhanger; "The Wilderness" (Season 4, Episode 10) showed June's relentless quest for justice; and "Mayday" (Season 3, Episode 13) – that incredible rescue mission – is arguably the best episode of the whole series. These episodes really showcase the show's ability to blend intense storytelling with emotionally powerful performances. They explore really complex themes – resistance, trauma, and the fight for freedom – things that resonate so deeply.
The final season is shaping up to be a gripping conclusion. With the finale airing on May 27th, it’s a race against time to catch up! Don't miss out on the final chapter of this groundbreaking series.
