Well, now that we know it's a "virus" and not some supernatural magnetism, that's certainly an option, yeah. Duh, didn't even think of that one.

No, she knew she'd have to. That was clear when they went back to the bedroom. She just thought Ramsay would be kind and gentle with her, because he'd been pretending he would be.

I basically agree; my position has been that it wasn't rape because she did consent (it was abusive, unpleasant, and traumatic, and absolutely wrong and horrifying, it just wasn't *rape*). She knew what was expected of her. I didn't actually consider how much better it would have been had she been totally stone-faced.

That's my feeling about it, btw: that showing it more it would have been exploitative and would have necessarily illustrated more of the act itself. I do think it would have glamorized/eroticized it, and I think there are some twisted sickos who would have really enjoyed a long close-up on Sansa's face there.

HA!

Oooh, BURN.

Uuuuugh. So very tired of the "the camera should have focused on Sansa the whole time because by showing Theon/Reek they made her seem unimportant," argument.

I'm just over the 40 line, and no, you weren't this bad.

I'm pretty sure a man in his early thirties did not raise any of today's college students.

I seem to recall a lot of people of NA heritage being pleased that they were actually mentioned and given a storyline in a TV show, since no one seems to care about them in all of the POC-handwringing going on.

Preach it, brother! Every word is gold.

I always liked him, too, and felt bad for him (and Marc Blucas). He really had an uphill struggle, given he was "replacing" Angel. He was far from my favorite or anything, but I didn't hate him as a character.

Oh, of course. If they want him charged and found guilty they absolutely need more proof, and the logistics of getting him to trial would be near-impossible.

You need a new boyfriend.

Would you like my phone number? I'm quite attractive, and tired of being poor.

I admit I have always wondered this.

Yes! I was…twelve? Thirteen? Somewhere in there. My big brother saw it first, and got me to watch it with him next time they showed it.

The thing that bothers me about it is, Jessica, you have a ton of witnesses now. You have his parents who can testify about what was done to him and what he can do. You have video of the experiments done on him. Do you really need a confession out of him or video proof? Isn't that enough for at least a reasonable…

Ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs in the community!
