counter-counterpoint: Sharing my number led to “let’s stay friends w/b” the morning after our first “serious fooling around”. Shockingly, i told her my number after she told me hers, because our numbers were identical. Apparently, it was not acceptable for me to have that number.

That’s exactly why i don’t plan on disclosing my number of partners, or lie about it if pressed.

I think you are wrong about Reek regrowing his spine. He’s just an object, a piece of furniture. This scene will not be a catalyst for any change in him.

In the novel, the burnt corpses he hangs pretending to be Bran and Rickon are the children of the miller’s wife. In the first chapters of the book, it is implied that Theon had sex with the miller’s wife.
So, i’m not too sure that he didn’t deserve exactly what Ramsay gave him. Probably the only one of Ramsay’s…

Is not that she put herself in that situation for the heck of it. What they are saying is that the allowed that to happen to her in order to better position herself to strike. She’s not a knight, nor a faceless man, she can’t go on a killing spree the day she arrives to Winterfell. She needs to gain loyalties and make…

I think this scene reveals how far she’s willing to go to execute her revenge. She’s willing to suppress her pain, and to feign being an innocent virgin in order to get to the position where she can kill all the Boltons. Because if she had killed Ramsay during the wedding night, before the rape, what then? She’d have…

If she had killed Ramsay right there, what then? She’d get killed by the guards right after, that damn Reek would scream. She’d get killed and lose her chance to get revenge on the Boltons (i.e. kill all the Boltons).

Theon is gone. There’s only Reek. Reek is going to be no help at all to Sansa, he’s too afraid. I’m sure the reason was crying was that he was afraid to be punished for seeing what his master had told him to watch.

What did you think that was going to happen in her wedding night?
Is your complaint that it happened or that they showed it? Because if Sansa was getting married to Ramsay at all, this was going to happen.

I am sure she had been steeling herself for this: look at the previous scene with Ramsay’s accomplice, she refuses…

I think Theon only cried for 2 reasons:
-After his near continuous torture for the past year, he’s emotionally handicapped, and can only feel fear. He was afraid he’d be punished for witnessing that. (Yes, punishing someone for doing what you tell them is exactly like Ramsay.)
-Without his own emotions, he becomes an…

I think Theon is so broken that he doesn’t feel any emotion other than fear. In this scene i think he was just an inanimate object, a mirror, reflecting what was happening in front of him.

So, an organization that kills people and gets its own people killed in order to protect the economic interests of multinationals isn’t overly concerned with the well-being of its people?

Well, if you take pride on those 3 characteristics, you can take participating in the study as a challenge.

You always reverse-engineer your predictions:
You study a system that seems to have interesting behaviour, analyse the data, and draw conclusions from the data. Then you write the introduction to article saying how you were looking for the behaviour you found and how it fits with the current literature on the topic.

But then you’ll have to keep the male staff away from positions where they can be alone with them.

It depends. Some say Africa goes north all they way to the Pyrenees.

You Americans are so cute and quaint about your incest-panic :D

American whites and blacks are enamoured of their racism. They segregate from each other, refuse each other, don’t identify with each other.

In turn, the Likud hawks don’t give a rat’s ass about the fundies nor their beliefs, they just want to make sure the US keeps providing equipment to “contain” the Palestinians.
