Bryan Fuller has tried to avoid rape storylines on his own show. Despite thinking that TV has gone overboard in relying on rape storylines, he thinks Sansa Stark's recent scene was handled tastefully. "The reason the rape well is so frequently used is because it's a horrible thing that is real and that it happens," he says. "But because it's so overexploited, it becomes callous." PLUS: Someone counted how often rape occurs on Game of Thrones.
