Ewwwwwww...some men can be so gross, and you captured that beautifully. I'm enamored with the paragraph "A flash of steel, a wet smacking noise, a cracking of bones, and with a soft thud, Samson’s body fell to the floor, blood and brain splattered across the white marble stone..." It unravels so violently, poetically, fast fast fast.

Uther is a bit unhinged… who wouldn’t want to see him pay?

Oh my gosh, that was a really gross death 😆 consider that a compliment! I've said this before, but you do such a great job of creating character through dialogue. Nicely done, Alexander.

Whoah!! Intense and visceral stuff. What a brutal and visual death! And the ear being yanked off!

Great scene and dialogue.

Get that spoon ready.

(Makes me think of:

"Why a spoon, cousin?"

"Because it's dull you twit. It''ll hurt more!")

Thanks, Nate. Yeah, things just happened... Surprise!

Ahh, Alan Rickman, yes, I remember we talked about this in episode 4 :) Incidentally Ep 8 is called "Spoon" ;)

More than a spoonful one might argue. Thanks, Dan!

Yeah... I think Bee is going to need more than a spoon, kiddo. I love seeing bullies bite the dirt. Cant wait for the delicious revenge.
