So, we're supposed to believe that Davos can turn simple kitchen tin foil into shiruken capable of piercing metal fridge doors? Did nobody writing this show do elementary science? That's not just impossible, it's provocatively stupid.

No amount of bullsh*tting about chi power could turn thin sheets of aluminium into deadly killing devices, and there's no way you'd convince me otherwise. And it's a wasted moment: it suggests that Davos is this master of weaponising everyday objects, but then this resilience is never actually used. It's artificial spectacle for the sake of it.
