Body memories were my first instinct, but then wondered “maybe she is still in physical pain from physical injuries right now and she is referring to those as well?” My takeaway was body memories for sure, though. I suppose it was written that way so that it’s truthful to what people think of when they think of rape.…

Rep Todd Aiken would like to give you a reproductive health lesson.

I don’t think that’s what she meant, but I do think she probably is. Ramsay raped Sansa every night for months. It’d be awfully unlikely nothing came of that.

I took it to mean he hard hurt her so bad (SQUICK ALERT tearing of vaginal/anal walls during rape is not uncommon and I would assume Ramsay would do it as violently as possible) that she is still physically feels the pain he caused her when she walks/moves.

I thought for a second she might do just that. I’m also curious if they are ever going to make us see any of it.

This is 100% my take, too—that she has very visceral, inescapable body memories of what Ramsey did to her. God, was that a powerful scene—and her delivery of those lines was so powerful. So much fury, but delivered in such a poised way. I hate what has been done to Sansa, but her trajectory as a character has been…

Yes and I think that’s the point, there are many red priests and priestesses and there are more every day turning to the faith.

I concur. I thought this scene was a much more powerful acknowledgement of what rape does to women than all of the scenes flat out depicting it, and a cruelly accurate analogy of how our society sets women up for this sort of thing. Sansa was raped because Baelish manipulated her into a situation where she would be…

No, I think she’s saying that the pain is always there no matter if the body physically heals. Though, yes, he might have permanently damaged her body...

All the red preistesses wear the same clothing. Like clergy everywhere—it’s a uniform. I don’t see the problem...

Agreed, I think that she is saying that her body is still sore. The bruises have literally yet to heal.

Sexy short-jesus can brood all he wants. He can brood in a room next to me, even.

I think Kit is improving this season. But Brienne is a fucking treasure and I will riot if anything happens to her.

There was another priestess, preaching in the market when Tyrion first arrived in Essos. There’s also Thoros of Myr, a red priest who raised the same man from the dead numerous times. I don't necessarily think that the existence of other members of the religion makes Melisandre less unique. Or rather, she's unique as…

I LOVED Brienne’s brooding comment. I enjoy these sly little nods that the writers give to the audience.

I think that rape does need to be shown, because we know that rape is a weapon used against us, but judging by the reactions of every single dude in the room during the approximately eleventy-billion “don’t get raped” training sessions I had to endure in the Navy, they have no fucking idea. I see it as a way to…

I’m not 100% on whether this is a good idea, but a part of me wanted her to strip during that scene, while holding steady eye contact with him, and make him look at a truley grusome scarred messed up body— nudity that only the most twisted person could find to be a sexualization of rape. I kind of wanted him to…

I agree, Alfie Allen is slaying embodying a really nuanced character. Can you imagine in previous seasons / books having this much sympathy for him?

So many feelings. I have no idea where to begin.
