Paraphrasing.......
![Image and video hosting by TinyPic]()
A fan asked Sophie at Comic Con why they decided to focus on Theon's tears and pain during the rape scene instead of Sansa and why did Sophie say that she "loved" filming the scene in an interview before.
“You’ll have to ask why they focused on Theon, because I was giving a great performance,” the actress said jokingly. “I think Sansa has gone through a lot, and has developed skills from Margaery and others. But she’s just as strong as before.
What’s she’s been doing this whole series is just getting by without doing anything totally radical because that could totally change her situation—she could die.”“I think she thought it through in her head. She could have fought back if she wanted to. But she didn’t,” she added. “She’s one of those characters that does her scheming in her mind, not outwardly.”

I get what she's saying but show Sansa's passiveness is irritating now. Book Sansa isn't this passive (she fights back when Lysa tries to kill her and takes the risk to seek out Dontos).
If they could show Cersei being defiant and strong against her abusers and also show her pain then why not Sansa? Thinking about it now, Cersei and Arya were the only consistently written women in season 5 imo.
