That's because he's touchy about his status. It humiliates him. I doubt that he cares how Jon or any other bastard feels. In fact, I think it's likely he would try to rub Jon's face in his bastardy, now when Ramsay himself is a Bolton and the Lord of Winterfell. I really don't think Thorne has anything to do with it. How would he know about the wildling women and Mance, how would he know about Reek? If anybody other than Ramsay wrote it, it was Mance.

What hint? That he's generally a dick? Also, Ramsay only hates that word when it refers to himself.

Sometimes I get the feeling that our world is joined with an alternative universe. That's the only sane explanation for some people's opinions.

Really? Did Sansa seem willing to have sex to you? I can't even... did you miss Ramsay's sick, mocking smile? Sansa obvious reluctance to undress and the way she braced herself when Ramsay tore her dress and pushed her down, the desperate expression on her face? Her disstressed screams of pain? A crying, horrified Theon? She obviously didn't want to marry Ramsay and she obviously hoped there will be no consumnation, but (unfortunately too late) realized that he's a dangerous psychopath who doesn't care for her consent at all and would take pleasure in hurting her, so it's better to comply or he'll hurt her even worse. Anyway, pretty much everybody called this rape, including the people who are part of the show and the scene. If you're looking for definition of rape, try an explanatory dictionary. It is indeed true that it has changed through the times.

More like, I wonder how Tyrion managed to avoid his own raping he inflicted upon helpless women of Essos. But I guess that in their interpretation, it would feel very forced if sex slaves didn't offer this charming drunken dwarf sex for free. Some of their decisions are simply disgusting. Really, think about it: Sansa: Let's deny all logic and take this major female character out of her own plotline and put her in harm's way to be brutally raped by the worst psychopath possible. It's make the audience more invested in the WF story. Tyrion: Let's ignore major male characters highly problematic attitude to women and his going as far as threatening a helpless woman who has no choice but to have sex with him if he wills it and later fucking a beaten down, apathetic slave girl lying there like a rag doll. Instead let's make a hooker be charmed by this kind drunken dwarf and offer him free sex, an offer he nobly declines (of course!) because he still can't get over the memory of his beloved Shae or something. I'd puke. :stillsick:

Well, the best thing about this episode was the exclusion of Arya's storyline, which is truly boring as a Latin lesson this season. They should have skipped her altogether like Bran, and Sansa as well. OTOH I was actually surprised that I was missing Cersei and Marg's catfighting. Not much, I guarantee, but it is something. Otherwise it was shades of boring, at least the Dany controversy spiced it up somewhat. I guess Show Dany got into the pissed off mode sooner than Book Dany, which I don't entirely blame her for because Meereen stands on its head. I expect that Hizdahr will be the Harpy, so at least he gets some sweet comeuppeance sweating in terror by Dany's side, heh. I mean, it's got to be Hizdahr, hasn't it? The only other Meereenese character that stands out is the prostitute at the attacks, but it cannot be her unless a] it's an important noblewoman who pretends she's a common whore... I know that D&D came up with Talisa, but this would likely be overkill even for them, or b] she's just a prostitute who has enjoyed to be a fuckdoll without any right so much, she fights to become a sex slave again. Although going by what D&D have been doing to Sansa, they may thing that women who are utterly at mercy of sadists and monsters feel empowered, so who knows. *shrugs*

I voted 8. Whatever I may fear that future episodes bring, this one was entertaining and I enjoyed it very much. The two points off are for the Dornish birthmark scene which lived up to its full cringe potential and some inconsistencies (Cersei's fourth child, Varys in S1 having been okay with assassinating Dany, Stannis knows it was Roose Bolton who killed Robb, Dany is now afraid of fire). For sanity's sake, I judged it on its own, as the show Game of Thrones, not as the adaptation of ASoIaF... because then the result would be much, much worse.
