I'm also tired of hearing some people say it was outrageous that Theon did not save his "sister." Only in a land of happy AU fanfics was Sansa ever his "sister." I don't know what that has to do with the situation. She was being raped, she was suffering, whether she was his "sister" or not. She was the victim, even if the show may not see it that way. What these people are saying is they would not have given a damn about a character in that situation if she wasn't someone they knew. And that's fine, that's logical, but don't rewrite the show to try to create some connection that was never there. Sansa didn't even see Jon as a brother...she certainly never saw Theon as one.

Cogman seems to be selling this as a necessary evil for Sansa, not rape. I think this is yet another instance of the show not having any idea how scenes come across. I think someone at the show also believes we will only care about Sansa if she is raped, if she is made "strong" from this. I guess they had no real respect for the character if they think that's what it takes to make you strong. I don't understand the point of having everyone in Dorne but Doran written as some unhinged whiner who hates Mycrella and blames her for a death that Oberyn himself was 100% responsible for.

Thanks. I'd never seen those before. Beautiful.

I remember this playing over and over on Psychic Friends ads.

I never heard that about there even being a Ruby. You may want to mention it in the AMC thread.

Will we get to see more of Billy's ass? Jordana - boring in any role.

This James Sutton/Kieron Richardson interview just gets more and more awkward as it goes along, especially about Harry. (spoilers included) It's a subdued car crash, especially when Kieron starts getting upset at people thinking he's old. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a647881/hollyoaks-star-teases-new-john-paul-romance-its-about-to-get-sexy.html

I think so, Tim. Monika thank you again for making these connections and sharing them with us. It does my heart good.

The producers have said he had no idea the Boltons would hurt Sansa. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/17/game-thrones-sansa-ramsay-interview

BE, since you don't mind spoilers, here is Matthew, reacting to the winner. I'm sure there are full body pictures too somewhere... https://vimeo.com/128050729

I can see where Jaime or Bronn fans would enjoy it. Jaime is just sort of...there for me, and I don't care about Bronn (I feel like he's overused), so I can see where it's not the same for me. I like Loras, and I like Margaery, but at this point it's like throwing Jan and Jace from Space Ghost into the pits of hell. They're just so naive, it hurts to watch. I really thought at one point that they, and Olenna, were smarter than this.

I've always been a Cersei fan, but up to this season I've also been happy to root for her enemies. Sadly, Loras and Margaery are both so incredibly stupid, I can't do it. They set themselves up to be played, they were smug, tin-eared, and way out of their depth in KL. Why should I want them to live at this point? Olenna is the one who helped cause all this to begin with. If I didn't have a lot of residual love for Diana Rigg, I would hate this character who mostly just swoops in for some one-liners and then leaves her family and the kingdom in chaos. In other news, I still have no idea what the purpose of Dorne or the Sand Snakes are, other than pretty location footage. There's nary a personality between them. Ellaria reading Lena Headey's old scripts does not count.

I'm not sure what Theon was supposed to do. I can't see him managing to do any real damage. The show hasn't gone into it as much as the books, but Theon is a decrepit, incredibly maimed man. Shireen could probably knock him out.

I think I remember seeing Corrie briefly on Trio (?) in 1994 or 1995, which also aired things like All Saints. I remember thinking it was from another planet. Never knew about ED.

It would give a spoiler as it's during an awards segment.

Some spoilers. Mike Parr looked incredible - so old Hollywood. The whole cast looked great (Matthew Wolfenden yum yum...), although I didn't care for some of the gowns, and poor Charley Webb looked like a JLo tribute act gone wrong. Verity Rushworth looked breathtaking, lipstick aside.

If you’re a Jake Wood/Max Branning fan you really have to watch this - Adam Fielding (Kirin on Emmerdale) gushes about his love for actor and character and does a not too bad impression. It’s hilarious. (Emmerdale spoilers) http://www.whatsontv.co.uk/emmerdale/news/emmerdales-adam-fielding-and-michelle-hardwick-reveal-their-dna-drama-video#gVROJ7ec0iyYmtQD.99%C2%A0

I hope I might get to see some of her Doctors work someday.

Considering Linda's rep at Emmerdale, I can imagine how she would have been on a set with Victoria Wyndham...

Is this Valerie Mahaffey at the start?
