There is equality if front of the law, which is democracy, and economic equality, which is exactly the opposite. The High Sparrow speaks mostly about equality in front of the law, and while he is depicted as a fanatic, he is also the closest to modern values.

I must admit that the reviewer obsession with gender, sex, rape, is really getting unbearable. Stop with that bullshit and stop projecting your personal political agenda on this show.

You are right, we never knew who really killed Nadia if she was even assassinated at all, and never knew what was the real purpose of Ben using Sayid to kill Widmore's people.

Who are the fishing-village Others ? What fishing village ? The Others were always just one group and even the Temple Others were the same "Others" as the … others.

"I believe it was stated by Darlton that MiB was not the apparition of Ben's mother"

Of course the MiB could not chose him formally, but he appeared to him (looking as his mother) when he was a kid and manipulated him all his life so that he would become the leader of the Others.

No, Ben was chosen and manipulated by the MiB from the beginning, just re-watch "The Man Behind the Curtain".

Thanks for Space 1999 and sending me back to my youth (in the 80s). I grew up with that unwatchable stupid show. Fond memories.

Funny, I just loved the ending of the Dark Tower, particularly when the last books were kind of a drag. The ending was superb.

MiB's plan took shape before because he was aware of Locke time travelling, and knew about the compass he had to give to Richard in 1954.

I meant that as the leader of the "Others" (by the way we never learned how they called themselves) he was supposed to have been chosen, now ? They was even this test that Richard performed on Locke when he was a kid to see if he was special.
Anyway we understand later that Ben was conned into being the Others leader…

But the thing is that Jacob himself apparently had no clue either. He had some control over the powers of the island but the "Mother" did not tell him anything before she died (assuming she herself knew anything, which we do not know) and I think that what he said about the cork what just guessing but that he did not…

But wasn't Ben supposed to be Jacob's chosen one (at least officially) and Richard was the connection with Jacob and the only one to speak with him, so what was Dogen's role here and how did he know Jacob ? That does not make sense.

That was not marital rape. That was their wedding night and she was ready for the sex and if not willing, accepting it.
Of course the concept of marital sex in a medieval society (and even in our societies until very recently, just ask your parents) does not mean anything.

It was not rape. This was their wedding night, she was expected to have sex and accepted it and was ready for it. Of course she would have preferred not to, but that's part of the play she is playing.
The disturbing part is Ramsay making Theon watch. That's disgusting and traumatic, that's not rape.

No I don't know anyone who has been raped. Sorry. Neither does my wife. I am not American, maybe that's the reason, I don't know. I lived in a few different countries and never got the impression that rape was an experience anything other than very marginal.
You are the one who is missing the context - "the scene" from…

You used "they" for *one* reviewer whose name was at the beginning of the page ? It was not clear at all.

So don't watch it.

Last season a whole village was slaughtered and a kid watched as his parents were killed for no reasons. That was "disturbing". Not what we saw yesterday.

Why the obsession with rape ? Murder, war, everything exists in the real world but you seem to be obsessed only by the treatment of rape (and by the way, I am not sure that what happened to Sansa was exactly rape, after all, it was her wedding night and consensual, the notion of "marital rape" is very new and was not…
