And here's part of our review of the latest episode, "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken."

We'll start at the end because, as tends to be the case with this show, the end is when your jaw hits the floor. Or, in this case, when you shield your eyes, shake your fist in anger, or scream aloud. I think I did all three at the end of this episode.

Sansa begrudingly married the psychotic Ramsay Bolton as per Littlefinger's plan, and the two went back to his chamber. There was no doubt that Ramsay had something disturbing planned, but what he actually did was far more horrifying than what most non-book readers could have imagined. He forced Reek, the man formerly known as Theon Greyjoy who was like a brother to Sansa at one time, to watch as he defiled his new bride.

Mercifully, all we saw was Sansa's horrified face and not the actual act itself, as the camera cut away to a visibly emotionally distraught Theon, who shed tears and shook as his lord had his way with Sansa. It was a horribly disturbing scene that seemingly took Sansa's newfound strength and threw it out the window in favor of yet another act of torment by Ramsay.

A few scenes earlier, we saw Sansa tell of Myranda and act like the strong woman we've wanted her to be for multiple seasons. But by the end of the episode, we could feel nothing but sympathy and horror for her as this lunatic assaulted her. One can only hope that she was in some way prepared for something so horrible and has a plan to get her revenge sooner rather than later.
