She's one of the most powerful characters in the show; she could have gotten him in bed without having to go all "I don't want to die a virgin" on him. I don't have a problem with them showing that her character does have some level of vulnerability, but that particular angle is just....eh, I've never been a fan of it. It makes it feel like it's not *entirely* consensual - like she knows she wants it, she just might not be ready otherwise and so now she's forcing herself to do it. If she already wanted to jump him regardless, ditch the desperation angle. If she didn't want to, then.....eesh.
(Then again, this may be largely based on the fact that I waited longer than any of my friends because I never did the whole "eh, why not?" thing and waited until the right time with the right person.)
But my original point still stands: it blows my mind that throat slitting gets a thumbs up and some side boob gets a thumbs down.
