You'd have to be retarded to not be able to see something like that coming. Seriously like you'd just have to be dumb.
Honestly.
Lets give religious zealots limitless authority? What could possibly go wrong!!! It's a basic theme of the entire story. EVERYTHING will go wrong.
I haven't read the books. They're... not that good, fellahs. They're overly verbose in scope, overly clipped in phrasing, and generally purposeless in vision. The show is ok. Ye olde chaine maille. You gotta be a hipster nerd to hate the show. It's no Sparticus, but it's ok.
I am liking this season a lot more than the previous ones.
