I think there is merit on both sides of the argument. A woman at one-month pregnant is just as dangerous as a woman who is not pregnant. If it is deemed necessary to shackle her then she should be shackled. Equally, a woman in labour is not a threat to anyone except whoever is holding her hand during a contraction and…

It’s mostly Jennifer Saunders playing Jennifer Saunders.

I think because even GOT won’t directly focus on someone being raped.

It’s an interesting, if disturbing argument. By that logic, would that then mean a woman forced at gunpoint to perform oral sex on another person who is unwilling/unconscious is also a rapist?

It moves on both their character arcs. Without the motivation for Theon/Reek, they would both still be at Winterfell. Sansa’s position at Winterfell is so dangerous because she is once again without allies.

Yes, death is worse than rape. I think we can all agree on that?

I think there is a difference in the way we are affected by experiencing things vicariously and the way we are affected by things we logically know are happening.

I wonder if that’s part of the attraction. There aren’t any fairy tale endings. The best the characters can hope for is a quick death.

I’d agree he was an instrument of rape, but he wasn’t willing and the act was another way for Ramsey to further degrade Theon and push him further into Reek just as much as it was a way to degrade Jeyne.

Well the show has always specialised in developing characters and making them important or even pivotal to the plot then killing them off with extreme violence; see Rob Stark, his mother (kind of), Ned Stark, Oberyn, Khal Drogo). In each of these scenes (except Drogo’s) it was graphic and the camera didn’t pan away or…

When you are a small child you go to the same bathroom as whichever parent you are with, so I wouldn’t worry about it at that point.

Can you be both rapist and raped in the same act? The actions he took were under threat of torture, I don’t think anyone can claim that he was a willing participant, so he was simply raped just as Jeyne was.

I know it’s not a popular opinion here, but I think the way they portrayed that scene was pretty appropriate. I don’t we would have benefited in any way by focusing on Sansa while she was being raped, if anything the complaints would have been far greater. By focusing on Theon/Reek it sets up his actions in a later…

What are his thoughts on sand?

The UK

I generally think 13 year olds can’t be trusted to name goldfish let alone people, but here, with parental permission you can change your name from any age (and after 16 you can change it yourself). All you have to do is write yourself a short letter saying “I have changed my name to...” find a couple of witnesses…

Knows your pain:

Careful, she’ll use headology on you.

Giving a 13 yo the chance to name themselves sounds ... problematic

Declan is actually pretty common throughout the UK.
