Hee... no worries hun. You know I like the chat...
I agree. I think there have been many instances when they haven't addressed the consent of the host issues properly.
Though, I gotta say, I (personally) haven't really felt them using the hints at non con lightly so far. For me, I think that's due to Mark's level of creepiness and the way he has been saying those lines flippantly - knowing how much of a gut punch they would offer Sam. I think the notion that Sam was abused that way is coming through as pretty horrifying. I mean.... how far they explore the issue is yet to be seen. I doubt very much they will do anything more with it - as in really explore what it is to be a rape victim. (though Sam's state of mind is showing us quite a bit of that fall out).
I have been pretty surprised that they have gone this way. One hint (bunk buddy for example) might have been read as purely sharing the same brain, "body" and cage but the rest (i think) leaves little doubt.
