The Handmaid's Tale "First Blood"

May 24, 2018

In episode “First Blood” of the Hulu original series The Handmaid's Tale, a muted Ofglen walks into the new Rachel & Leah Center – a place where they will be able to “process, house and train” many more handmaids. She holds a grenade in her hand and pulls the pin while OH BONDAGE UP YOURS! by 70s punk band X-Ray Spex booms in the background.

“Some people think that little girls should be seen and not heard. But I say oh bondage, up yours!” roars the lyrics as the explosion happens, capturing every word Ofglen could have said if her tongue wasn’t cut out.
