Maybe because cardinals are douchebags, in case you haven't been keeping track of their political statements?

No, I'm not conflating it, but if someone's going to go raping males, sexual orientation is a factor sometimes. Yes, sometimes it's all about humiliation, but in Roman times bisexuals could openly take other men who were deemed of lesser social status. And Caesar could have made that point with Tiberius.

You mean a whiny brat that broke a jar on the face of a much bigger man than him, whom he had seen kill a bulking slave before?

Ok, I get where you're coming from now. I just think the show is trying to illustrate how often the events are undeserved, like when it is Naevia who ends up killing Ashur instead of Crixus or Dottore.

I don't get these complaints. Only bigger men rape smaller ones? Whiny, small brats are not capable of terrible violence? Napoleon was freaking small and he was a terrible force to behold.

She saw Karen as the one who would anchor Lip into this neighborhood. Mandy does really want better for Lip, even making peace with the prospect of Lip leaving her there.

He's dunking on his dad's head because his dad is a smarmy cunt that as usual just wanted to use him.

It takes common sense, that if you see a cop being choked and straddled, after taking a punch to the face by a threatening criminal, that he would not be pissed at receiving some help.

Savage beatdown? The robber assaulted him with full intent of subduing him, let alone choking him. Ben came off with damage from that struggle.

Amy walking into the crowd, ala In Treatment.

He had to attack her erect. You don't magically become erect last I checked. At least I know I'm not able to force myself erect on people I don't find attractive.

People were complaining about retconning Naevia, yet Kore's rape isn't similar? The kid loved her, he had a thing for Sabinius, and now we are suddenly led to believe that he would just deccide to get hard for mother slave. I don't buy it.

No wonder Tiberius seems so fucked up. He had to beat his crush to death before he even got screwed by him. It must suck to be a sheltered Roman upperclass virgin ;)

The point is, Thomas turning on Alfred makes NO SENSE. Thomas respected  O'Brien and surely felt indebted to her intervention after his personal ruin in the earlier season.

This season never made any sense, particularly under the context that Thomas and O/Brien shared such a tender moment when he saw himself ruined in the Black Market. All this time, O'Brien seemed to give a damn about him, about getting him back in the house. And Thomas seemed to find in O'Brien a partner in crime.

Lena cannot act crying too well. Love her, but the less crying the better.

Or, I just missed the show, and because FX is a dick and doesn't put up recent episodes on Comcast On Demand until nearly a week has passed, I decided not to watch the second episode until I could watch the first.

Calling her a whore with no work ethic was nowhere close near the petty viciousness of telling someone you were born on a test tube to not make you seem so average, let alone assaulting your spouse and breaking his possessions.

I'm sad to see Elijah go, especially knowing that Rannell is choosing a much lesser show to star in (even though he's probably a better paid protagonist there). I hope he earns well to make up for the fact of working in an awful Ryan Murphy show.

Rich Dicks is my favorite. Suela for life!
