I can't believe that Enola took down Karl Fookin Tanner...


...the legend of Gin Alley. He would have had her for breakfast and used her hair to floss his teeth with afterwards.

you mean Major Hewlett? he's a bit of a dandy.

Well he was killed by Jon Snore but he only beat KFT with the help of one of Craster's wives. I blame Esther Summerson. If she'd only accepted his proposal of marriage when he was Mr Guppy none of this would have happened.

The power of woke warrior aside Linthorn lost mostly because the writers and directors.

1) When on the train he tried to push Tewkesbury off the train, which did not make sense because that won't kill the boy. You can say he was holding Tewkesbury to be crushed by tunnel. But that won't look like an accident, why not just stab Tewkesbury? Wouldn't that be easier? We know he has a knife in his leg.

2) The fight in the warehouse was a bit more realistic. Enola felt pain, narrowly escaped death. Though I still can't believe women's corset can stop a knife.

3) The fight in the house is more ridiculous. The man had a gun but not only he did not shoot the girl, he insisted to kill Tewkesbury with a string? Why? Because it is less efficient? With all the bullet holes on the property it won't look like suicide anyway. Wouldn't burglar with a gun made better story for the death of both?
