some thoughts on 7.08

I haven't been doing these for the last couple of weeks, but I actually have quite a bit to say about this episode.

...Unfortunately, none of it is good. I think I have actually found my least favourite episode. Not just of the season, but of the whole damn show.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This episode offends on so many levels I'm speechless really.

I also love that they took another stab at Becky writing erotica. Because the show writers' use of sexed-up imagery is obviously so much more wholesome than slash fiction (still shuddering at Ruby getting stripped for torture every single time)

here's hoping next week is better.
Hear, hear.

Just, ugh. I will (and have) put up with a lot from this show, but this was honestly one of the most appalling hours of television I have ever had to sit through.

Also, yes. Their double-standards when it comes to sexualised imagery are disgusting. Ruby's fetishized torture scene remains one of the show's lowest moments for me, and it was made ten times worse when they amped it up with Meg last season. DNW.

On the bright side, it would be impossible for next week's to be any worse than this :/
