S01E76 City of Woe: Pyre! Prye! Pants on Fire

Y'all have either read or watched the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson, right (I highly recommend the books, but I understand if reading 15,000 pages of description isn't your thing.  The show started out ok, and it has grown on me, you should give it another try)?  You know how the Children of the Light, the paramilitary group informally known as the Whitecloaks.  They have an embedded group dedicated to rooting out the darkness.  That group is called the Questioners and they are loosely modeled after the Spanish Inquisition that was created by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in the year of our lord (As Tiler would say) 1478.  The Questioners do just that; put people to the question, and through various methods extract a confession out the subject of their ire. Most of the time their confessions are from the innocent who are simply trying to end the torture.  I never understood how can the Whitecloaks even do this when their ranks are filled with Darkfriends. It's a shameful organization considering how easily they were infiltrated, and how quickly their hypocrisy was found out.  Yet they do play an important role in the story, even if the the whole Two Rivers arc was drawn out over three books. The one thing Whitecloaks do is put people to the question. The Phantom Phinders do the same in this episode.   Thank you for attending my TED Talk   ~Mark     Make sure to rate and review us on iTunes and then reach out on Twitter or to our email to get an NPC named in Carrefour!
