Stannis is Mitt Romney if Mitt Romney was ok with executing people by burning them alive.

In other words he's very good at management.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh Hello? I'm thinking maybe a few of you guys didn't catch the subtle hints that the show was fronting where it all but spelled it out that Stannis is the fuckin best that ever was?

Sorry if you missed this but that's what this show is all about, not creepy lesbian pedophilia that somehow makes children lol.

I kinda thought a key point of the scene was that Sansa didn't quite know what she got herself into, because there's no way to know. She's smarter and savvier, but there are things she can't prepare for. That's not her fault: rape happens to women in every godamn station in life, all the loving time, in all kinds of settings. Women are attacked by friends, strangers, and husbands, at home, in the street, in public. Did she know know she would be expected to have sex with him? Yeah, probably. Did she know he was an rear end in a top hat? To some extent. But did she expect to be brutally raped while her brothers' killer watched? Highly unlikely.

It's loving gross to frame it as if she knew what she was getting herself into (this is a classic accusation aimed at rape victims to diminish the crime!), or to act as if this happening to her nullified what she's been through and the strides she's made (this is an unfortunate tendency people have to see someone as only a victim). Sansa is stronger than she started the show, and she will remain strong (unless the showrunners really wanna lose everyone), because what happened to her was an act of brutality that is neither her fault or some price she paid for anything. It was an evil horrible thing a gross man did.

It wouldn't be a better scene if we saw her bracing herself and the violence was obfuscated. A rape scene shouldn't be shot to make you more comfortable with it. If anything, they should have focused on Sansa, not Theon, but they probably realized that would go way too far. Theon was a buffer.

Maybe the point is that there is no point, really. Maybe they realized that the story needed this marriage to happen, and that this scene was the natural conclusion. Then they're left with: do we show it, or not? What is the impact of showing it? What is the impact of not showing it (having a main character raped offscreen) and having to bring it up later?

Relax the hero of the show Stannis Baratheon is going to rescue her and she'll gently caress the poo poo out of him while Theon watches smiling and nodding approval. It'll be really hot and an artistic juxtaposition from this earlier scene it's like poetry it rhymes.

No. Doesn’t Theon join in or something?

Yup.
Yeah, like, thank God that didn’t happen! But it will be interesting to film.

I thought the setup for Ramsay and Miranda's light-hearted rom-com subplot where they find out they're soulmates was really heartwarming ugh Sansa's such a bitch for trying to get between them.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. The last episode was easily the worst of the series, and I doubt things are going to get any better with D&D at the helm. GRRM gets bashed a lot, but he didn't rape Sansa.

You're so brave.
