Complete with the thought of "why doesn't she zig zag?!" instead of just flying in a straight line towards the arrow…. much like Rickon….. why didn't he zig or zag…. oy….

Bahahaha! I know right?!

You were not the only one, lol.

Omgosh I completely thought that as well….. and then immediately realized I would be anxious all week until I learn if she managed to get away safely unmolested by the moonfaced boy….. She would fuck him up tho if he tried…..

Agreed! So, she just was pushed down the stairs and is what? in a coma? Unresponsive or just is now to bruised and battered to want to speak out? Was that clarified and I just zoned out during the explanation?

I think, maybe, we are supposed to be picking up on a subtext that they are no longer able to properly choose the correct circle of people to control around them. They are becoming so paranoid that they are unable to see clearly the intentions of those around them and are in danger of they themselves being used…

That kiss tho….. when he opens the door and cuts her off mid-sentence…… that was a good kiss! phew lol

Well, I would put forth that one can be shy and unsure AND blossom into graceful at any weight……

And as far as I can recall, no women at all no matter how high ranking is allowed to read or write anything. The men therefore disseminate and interpret all…

I went to a christian bible school where we did a study on the book of Song of Solomon…
The one newly married couple who was in attendance conceived during that week… no word of a lie.
In that class the lecturer made reference that when married christian couples are having sex, Jesus Christ is in the corner watching…

I see what you did there :P
