as I've said a number of times, I'm on the fence... I won't be shocked if she's alive, but it is certainly a stretch with some rather amazing circumstances.

I just want the closure on screen as I found "Sammael is toast" to be a little anti-climactic.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2857 Views
I think Graendal's death was a great scene Etzel - 25/01/2010 05:26:51 PM 1593 Views
