I agree with you completely. We've obviously talked about this in other shows that we cover, including, as you mentioned, Thrones. And, like, I'm with you. I really... I tend to ask, you know, myself and the show, like, did we, quote unquote, need that, right? Like, what is the function of that scene? What is it achieving?

And I really, like, I think it's important to interrogate the moments when any given story, like, says that a character needs to suffer through a sexual assault to, like, learn something, grow. We talked about this a lot with Sansa when covering Yuma Thrones. Like, it's just... Forever upset about that. My guard is always on with something like that.

So that was sort of like a base operating position of just like how I'm going to think about the scene when it is presented to us. But I completely agree with you. Like, I thought this was really important. And obviously it's like, very painful and upsetting to watch. I certainly understand why for some viewers it is triggering and too upsetting to watch. Yes.

But this is something that would happen, like you said. And to show us what it looks like when people in a position of power use that power against other people for their own pleasure and gain... this would be a part of it.

And I thought in terms of the fascistic... the chokehold of power, like, physically and literally in a scene like this and metaphorically... Mm-hmm. One of the other things about this that felt, like, really just important to shine a light on and show us was, like, for Kroll, this attempted rape, this sexual assault scene is, like, a barter session, right? Yeah.
