"What is enough then?"

If you're right about that, then what's the point of the criticism—that the women of TLC should consider sexual encounters with all men equally?

While they don't really have time to tell such a story about "nurture vs nurture," so to speak, I think it's interesting that they keep talking about the kind of upbringing that results in becoming a criminal. They've shown that Daya and Piper are both criminals despite their class differences and that Mary

Taking you seriously:
Is the wife physically stronger than the husband? Does she control the household finances? Does he have reason to believe that, if he refuses, he'll be punished in some way?
I'd have to know those circumstances before I could decide.

I thought, when he told her to act like a dog, he was testing her to see compliant she was. And I assumed he wanted to do something kinky with her or try to dominate her in a weird way, but didn't expect him to rape her. However, I had the impression the dog test was something he'd done before.

But what did they EXPECT to happen when he married Ramsay Bolton?

It seems like you're thinking of people running ahead and opening a door for you and waiting for you to go through, and everyone else is talking about going through a doorway and holding the door open behind them so it doesn't close on the person behind them.

It was so awful, it went full circle and I loved it.

My husband and I watched it in silence and confusion and then I said "Maybe it's a song from Les Mis?" and then we understood.

No… I think she should start him with a puppy.

Litchfield certainly does seem like a kind, sweet place all of a sudden, doesn't it? This season, so far, has made me wonder how often small prisons have lulls like this, where everyone acts like a family and no one's doing drugs or shanking anyone or raping anyone. Is it supposed to be a prolonged pendulum swing away

Does it really seem like the show wants us to believe he's good, though?

Me, too—I kept worrying Alex would get raped.

I liked them, too. I enjoy the novelty of seeing a lesbian drug dealer who has such interesting interactions with her coworkers, as opposed to the typical depictions of drug dealers being a bunch of serious/angry dudes whose only interactions with women are sex-based.

She's a bad person, but your comment highlights one of the things I like about her. She could've used her looks to sponge money from men, as you suggest, but instead she chose to sell drugs. I appreciate that.

"Maybe the male log has more insight because it can see things from an outside perspective."
This is the most apt Freudian slip that could ever be devised for this website! Awesome!

I took it to mean that she didn't care. As opposed to the kind of woman who would worry about it or feel guilty after.

It seemed like bad acting to me. Like she didn't know how to do comedy and thought smiling creepily would make her funnier.

I think the "practice" is for losing one's virginity. In that scheme, you wouldn't marry your practice person.

Sorry, buddy. I don't get to come here as often as I'd like, so I didn't know your life. I thought you were a typical angry AV Club poster. My bad.
