Season One is maybe my favorite season, but there are so many times I wonder about the time in between scenes. The journey that came before we got what we saw in the show. Take a trip with me through the in-between times, the what-could-have-been times.

Following the 2nd American Revolution, The Sons of Jacob, they never did take power. The United States transitioned to 'The Republic of Ogden', less theonomic, but just as tyrannical. The story begins in the 'New Boston', and proceeds from there.

Phone service between Gilead and Canada is spotty, but possible. Each chapter is a different phone call between characters, seasons 4-5.
