Doesn't it seem odd that Walter pretty much, and without much resistance, broke Steven's control over Gilead?
So first we learn he had it away with Gabrielle, he was Steven's court advisor/sorcerer or whatever, then that Steven had to send Roland away because Walter, somehow, could have killed him in his own home, in what is essentially, an empires fortress, did he have so much inside treachery and control over Steven's people that Steven couldn't do nothing about protecting Roland in Gilead ?
I don't understand this, there's no hint at Steven being under some kind of mind control, being the Dinh of Gilead, therefor having a vast amount of power, why couldn't he have banished Walter into exile or just have him killed? Steven was aware that Walter was working for Farson and has known for 2 years about the affair with his wife, so what, he just lets it all happen?
Walter can't possibly be THAT powerful that he couldn't have been dealt with by a group of Gunslingers, has anyone have ideas about this?
