The distinction here is that it's not sex versus a mutilated hand but rape versus a mutilated hand. Jaime is disgusted by Randall. He tried to rape his sister, his wife and him. he flogged him nearly to death. Even if he enjoyed anal sex, there is no way he would want to have sex with Randall. And when one man is in…

I understand that we're speaking about fictional characters, but stating that someone should just allow themselves to be raped without resisting because they'll suffer less is just as victim blaming as arguing that potential rape victims should fight back (a la Don Lemon). It's a dangerous stance that puts…

The breaking of the hymen is somewhat of a myth. One, typically it is not a complete covering of the vaginal opening. Two, a hymen can be lacerated for any number of reasons (I had a friend "break" hers while biking). Conversely, it can remain intact after sex or childbirth if it's elastic enough.

While Petra has certainly been the victim of many character's cruelty and/or machinations (her mother, Milos, Lachlan Roman, and Rafael) that does not exonerate the many cruel, manipulative things she has done. All the characters (exceptperhaps the real Aaron Zazo) have done bad things, ranging from the dishonest to…

I kept pointing out how great Jane's hair looked during the birth to my sister (who was not amused). Petra also had some great hair in her first scene.

I stated this in another comment but I honestly can't see her trying that trick twice.

I also thought the clinic would reveal Mateo wasn't Rafael's biological son.

You should watch The 100. It is BSG quality sci-fi.

First, Petra needs a hug. She needs someone to just love her unconditionally and take her away. Second, I honestly can't see her trying to get pregnant again. It would only make Rafael resent her further. IIRC he wasn't too thrilled with her the first time she tried to use his sperm without his permission. But…

To answer your question about Rachel, yeah it's like a stroke. Your brain doesn't care what caused the damage, just what tissue was damaged (although different events do vary in how much damage they typically cause).

The actor who plays Tommen would have something to say to that.

No you were not. Given not only the age difference between the characters, but the difference between the actors as well, I'd rather the scene have not occurred. Margery's later scene with her friends or ladies-maids or whatever would have sufficed as a way of informing the audience of the consummation. The…

Too much. Despite knowing he is American (and being one myself), I find his American accent thoroughly unconvincing. Also his character is fairly dreadful.

I understand why Max would forgive Crash and I think the writers have done a good job at making his reasons clear. What is not clear is why he is turning to him for support or why Crash is even on the show in the first place! WE WERE SO CLOSE TO BEING RID OF HIM.

It astounds me how infrequently characters on the show stop to consider the fact that Rafael has lost his best friend, wife, father, sister, and control of his hotel all within the last 6 months.Yes, he's made mistakes, and I'm happy JtV doesn't shy away from calling him out on them. But he also needs a to be cut some…

no

It was no secret that I was the bastard child (you can hear me crying on the wedding tape). Although, I found Junior, Jack and Diane's teasing hilarious, I now want to thank my younger sister for not being obnoxious about being "legitimate".

SO SO SO SO TRAUMATIZING

The idea is that the game escalates until one participant quits. It's not supposed to get physical at all.

Can confirm grew up in Texas (albeit fairly liberal Houston) and currently live in Philly. You can't escape assholes
