One Burning Question: The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4, Episode 4: Have We Underestimated Janine? | Hulu

[amalchaaban]

The cast of this show is everything. Just. Everything.

[annas.]

Just because someone is emotional and feeling does not mean that person is weak. Janine is amazingly strong.

[jameslongstaff]

I've sensed Janine's strength for a long time. The unwoman episode was a good example of this.

[eden]

This episode hurt me in the end.. Janine went to that dude and did what June could not, and was completely fine with it because that was all she was use to… even before Gilead. It’s heartbreaking..

[MeowMeowBeansReturns]

Ann Dowd. Wow. Someone should have her do running commentary on the show and it’s philosophy. Her insight and nuanced conversation is untouchable.

[BB-kteb]

Janine will be stronger than most would’ve first suspected. She’s just been emotionally damaged by everything that’s happened to her character, but she’s been pushed to the point that now she’s going to be a lot tougher because she realizes she can’t rely on anyone else to do all the unpleasant stuff for her.

[Jens]

Can we talk about how AMAZING Ann’s hair looks?!?! From one brunette to another: 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[GiftSparks]

Whenever I see Ann Dowd in her regular clothes, I am just amazed at what an incredible actress she is.

[davidbrienlantry]

I am preparing myself for Janine's eventual death/sacrifice. This show is following a format where beloved characters are killed off and I suspect that Janine's days are numbered.

[Cocoleavemealone]

Janine was always one of the strongest characters… I don’t know why no one could see that before.

[wandadawnmiller]

They're absolutely right about trauma survivors... when you make it so that a person has nothing left to lose, you make that person very dangerous... I'm a trauma survivor and I've said this exact thing many times.

[sandracmyers]

Ann Dowd one of the most incredible actors I've seen, on the level with Francis McDormand
....

[carebear]

June and Janine are great friends working off each other’s strength and weaknesses. Love them

[Fenrir]

What I need is Aunt Lydia to organize the rebellion from inside Gilead, I mean, she lost the handmaids like 4 times, and she got severely punished by that, now after the crossing incident...well I guess she's done...

[rebeccapierson]

“We don’t bite people, Janine, ” lol.

[kelly]

I think Janine gets recaptured, as in one of the trailers she's in the handmaid uniform on her knees scrubbing the floor!! I hope Janine is the one who finally opens Aunt Lydia's eyes that turns her against Gilead and starts plotting

[EricaGamet]

I could listen to Ann and Whitney talk about and dissect this show for DAYS!! After watching the "One Burning Question" segments on Hulu (I just had to come here since there are no comments to read over there), I need to go back and watch each episode of this season at least twice. And then have them come back and discuss the first three seasons, as well! LOVE THESE SEGMENTS!

"Cut my tongue out, it’s an honor!“
Laughing so hard at this 😆

[TheNaughtyFrench]

Janine’s character is probably the most interesting character in this show her metamorphosis between her past life and gilead is impressive, she is one of the kind, a special woman who have such a beautiful soul and heart. She is probably seen like the weakest because she is too sensitive and people think she is not strong. You guys are wrong because Sensibility is the greatest thing to make you stronger, for a woman who lost a eye brutally, she jumped from a cliff, she was still smiling despite the handmaids were supposed to execute her with rocks, she was also smiling and having fun despite she was in colonies... no seriously she impress me

[liacana]

Janine has a very feminine strength. Often we are blind to true strength, feminine strength. We associate strength with male violence, which is actually weakness
