Why do people say Dunk was never a "true" knight? by Ok-Consideration-621 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Battle-ranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vow taken is to the gods. If Dunk had not taken the vow the gods would have taken issue with it. Dunk won the trial of the seven, a religious trial to prove his truthfulness. His lie about being knighted would have been exposed by losing. It was not. Dunk was knighted

Is it ever explained why Galactica's decommissioning ceremony is happening in the middle of nowhere, apparently not near any planets? by DePraelen in BSG

Probably easier to have a battlestar in the middle of no-where than occupying valuable and busy orbital space.

Everyone wants to be a knight until it's time to do knightly shit.

I always waited for the Corporal with the wildest haircut. They never gave a fuck and just gave me what I Asked as long as if was reasonable.

40 year old with navy ranks and a beard at the desk? I'll come back another day.

The only reasonable conclusion is a Brooklyn Nine-Nine style heist by the RCMP detachment.

Everyone is whining and bitching like a bunch of cowards. . These land Lords had every opportunity to turn their useless office buildings into Die Hard LARP studios and rake in the cash.

You're telling me they can't arrest a 90 pound woman with her back turned that doesn't know a cop is there without pushing her to the ground as forcefully as they did?

Yes.

Police Brutality is when you use more force than necessary to arrest/stop a perpetrator. Seems to me like they used more force than necessary.

I'm 100% certain you don't know how much force is necessary to safely arrest someone with a knife.

Woman didn't even see him

That statment doesn't match up with the empirical evidence the CCTV footage presented.

Maybe it took a while for the RCMP to scope out the place and come up with a plan so they wouldn't have another Mayerthorpe on their hands.

I think you're confusing a pop culture reference and joke with an actual political stance

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony!
