Not only does the character richly deserve the blade, but also the actress is the worst on the show (up until Bisping made an appearance). Obviously hired for her physical skill which is impressive.

There are still a scant few shows that run the 22 to 24 episode per season format. I, too, wish that DM was one of them. It is slightly less troublesome when the short run shows are on HBO etc since the lack of commercials sort of equals 30% more episodes by weight.

I know her time is coming. The writers are dragging it out to give the viewers more time to hate her and wish for her end. At some point Rio (4) is going to get into a final sword fight with her and finish her. She killed Nyx in direct violation of his order and she doesn't know her place.

I like this show. I wish they would make more than 13 episodes per season. I recall when shows had over 30 episodes per season. That is rare these days.

I know it takes time to create each episode, but dang, thirteen 40 minute episodes per year? That works out to less than 9 hours of viewable product a year. Nice work if you can get it.
