If he didn't create the ad, showing the ad is a comment on the state of the industry that Don left behind. Mad Men was a show about the ad industry as much as it was a show about the people. Showing the commercial is then a statement on consumer culture in the 70s and the loss of genuine growth.

It really doesn't matter whether he created the ad or not. If you read it as Don finding enlightenment and leaving the ad industry, well his enlightenment was still monetized and used to sell a product; the world of advertising churned on without him. If you read it as Don finding enlightenment and using that to…

The North will always remember the Starks. I don't think they'd accept a Bolton heir, even by Sansa, in place of someone with the last name Stark.

She can, but that's not what happened with Sansa. She knew she'd have to sleep with Ramsey, but she didn't expect it would be under the rule of his fucked up torture methods. I have no doubt that Sansa' next steps will be escape. There's a reason they told her about the candle in the window. If she had consented to…

Like guess what, Ramsey can be whatever you think of him now and a rapist! It didn't feel right because it was rape. She screamed, she made it clear she was uncomfortable, he was hurting her and didn't stop. They could've done the scene with her compliant, going along with it to help her overall scheme, but they…

Did you hear how she was screaming? If you were with a woman, a virgin, who has no kinks or evidence of being into power play and she screamed like that, you would think "oh this is totally consensual"?

I really don't know why you have an issue with calling the scene rape. It was rape. The scene was still necessary, but why not call it what it was? I'm not saying the scene shouldn't have happened, I'm just saying "yeah, Sansa was raped and that affects her character and development from here on out."

I would say look to how the series played Khal and Dany's sex scenes. A love and mutual respect eventually develops between them. Dany realizes her life is not in danger, she just needs to own her power and stand equally next to Khal. Sansa doesn't have this option. She's a prisoner in her home. If they had made it…

Ramsey going "Please have sex with me" would've been completely out of character…so…we don't really have to worry about that scenario.

Sansa was a virgin so I think it's fair to say she "doesn't get down like that"

"all that is required for it to not be rape is that she not say "no" when given a chance."

I had one for lunch today, I don't even like coca cola.

I think Joan was rich on paper, but it wouldn't have paid off until she finished her 5 years at McCann. Because she took the 1/2 payout she wasn't as rich as she thought she'd be.

When we're talking about a Stark in Winterfell, her name and nobility are worth more than your average Noblewoman so I'm not sure what your point is. Also Roose has a kid in the oven, so I think he cares very little if Sansa gets pregnant. He just wants that Stark name.

Neither. I'm not oblivious to Ramsey's violent ways and we won't cede power to Sansa. Sansa is a powerful character, but she needs to get away from Ramsey or she's going to end up dead.

Exactly, I have no doubt that she was like "Ok, shitty sex, I just have to deal with that" but when he makes Theon watch and rips her clothes, she finally realizes she's in actual physical danger. The threats that the girl bathing her can come true, she realizes she needs to get out of there.

SHE WAS THREATENED. What do you think Ramsey would've done if she had said no in that situation? Been polite and walked away? No. He ripped her clothes off, Sansa knew there was no out in that situation. If a man exerts his violence and power over you in a sexual situation, it's rape. Ramsey made it clear that he was…

Ok, so originally, I wasn't pleased, but this morning at work, I had to watch a short biography on David Ogilvy and now I think the ending was perfect. I take it all back. It was exactly what it needed to be.

I really wanted to see Betty die.

Exactly, that scene is where she figures it all out. I'm not saying the scene shouldn't have happened, it was clear Sansa was in real danger the second they mentioned Ramsey. I'm just saying the scene is clearly rape and makes it obvious that Sansa needs to get away from the Boltons because they don't really value her…
