More evidence that the person you see on screen doesn’t necessarily represent who they really are.
I have so many questions.

I read about this in WaPo and was just floored. I did not watch the show so I had no idea of who she is, but the whole situation is creepy as hell.

I don’t speak Latin, but “soror” is sister, and “ancilla” is slave woman, and what happened to proofreading?

I think that’s more of an interpretation rather than a mistranslation.
A literal translation seems to be “Master over the sisters who follow after him,” but “obsequious” in English more commonly means “servile,” and from “Master over the servile sisters” it’s a very small hop to “Master over the slave women.”

I heard about this a while back, and couldn’t really bring myself to care. But, I love podcasts, and found this one interesting. Season one is about this whole kettle of fish, and is interesting even if I can’t get very worked up about it.

People are strange.
Some more so than others, apparently.

In retrospect, strange isn’t the correct word. I’m totally fine with strange. The more appropriate word for this situation is disturbing.

I’m curious why they are all pleading guilty.

Probably because they’re dead to rights…
… and possibly because there’s something worse out there that they’re also dead to rights on.

There’s also the possibility that they’re being offered slaps on the wrist to flip on Raniere, who is practically the only one not pleading guilty.
