Minority Mindset
Looking back at Season 5 of the Hulu series, things appeared grim for Luke and June. As Commander Lawrence moved forward with his project for New Bethlehem, a supposed sanctuary for displaced Gilead residents, June resisted going back to the nation that had taken her daughter away from her.
2025’s movie lineup seems overflowing with eye-catching stunts. Instead of just prolonging screenings for five and a half hours (which Marvel occasionally does), they’re concentrating on establishing their Phase 6 legacy by introducing fresh characters. Meanwhile, it appears that gruesome horror films are dominating the cinemas almost every week. So, what about those moderately-paced releases? Where do they fit in this scenario?
In the opening episode of Season 6, Serena and June embarked on their mysterious train journey without disclosing their ultimate destination. However, once fellow passengers learned that they were traveling with Serena Joy, more commonly known as Mrs. Waterford, they grew hostile towards her.
In Season 6 Episode 2, Serena and June’s paths moved forward side by side. During this time, June got to share her past with her mother Holly, but their joyful reunion was cut short when it was learned that Luke and Moira were trapped in No Man’s Land.
The news follows closely on the heels of the series marking its 38th anniversary on March 23, with original cast members John McCook and Katherine Kelly Lang.

Furthermore, there’s been an 8% increase in streaming of the series on Paramount+ compared to last year.
He left the show without any explanation, but now I’m reading his interviews because it seems like he’s launching a PR campaign about his departure, according to what he said in an interview on ‘The Howard Stern Show.’ To be honest, I don’t think he valued me. He wants people to perceive him as bold and mysterious, while I, well, I just watch reality TV. We never really had any major disagreements. He claims we feuded, but I can’t recall any fights – only some emails with suggestions and revisions. I believe he disliked receiving feedback from me because he didn’t respect my input. I knew he wasn’t a team player and always wanted to do things his way. It was surprising that he chose to criticize me and the show in an interview with The New York Times just three days before the finale. It felt like a low blow.
By the way, here’s some extra information: The filming of this movie starts in May, spreading across Pennsylvania. It aims for a 2026 release. As of now, there is no distributor associated with it.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve always found that unauthorized vengeance makes for the most compelling stories. You see, an officially sanctioned revenge tale just wouldn’t pack the same punch. It’s the law-breaking, the gritty underbelly, that gives these movies their edge. I trace the modern revenge film back to “Joe” (1970), where Peter Boyle’s character took on a hippie commune with vengeance in his heart. But let’s not forget classics like “Walking Tall” (1973) and “Death Wish” (1974), which showcased men taking matters into their own hands, armed with everything from handguns to hickory clubs. These films played a significant role in shaping the conservative narrative, long before Fox News – their ‘no mercy’ message was echoed in countless right-wing talk radio broadcasts. The legacy of this genre could arguably be seen in the emphasis on revenge in Donald Trump’s political agenda. At times, he appears more like the Punisher than the President.
