#AKOTSKSpoiler - The Pitt reacted to a fight in the emergency room waiting area by going "Hey! This isn't Philly!"

Kind of communicated to me that the folk of the Reach might consider the Riverlanders a bit barbarous.

Liked the contrast between the gold dragon coin with the Taragaryen sigil and -

Quick continuance of #AKOTSKSpoiler talk from earlier this week...

I loved the Master of the Games - when admitting that he was joking about the impalement torture device called the Ashford Chair - followed up with "This is the Reach, not the Riverlands" which reminded me when Nurse Dana on -

#AKOTSKSpoiler - the copper penny (with a seven pointed star I think) - we see that Ser Arlan of Pennytree had a penny in the hilt of his sword, which was a lovely detail I thought.

I'm very much looking forward to the next episode.

Gah, typo/bad sentence in previous #AKOTSKSpoiler post, obviously I meant to say Tyrion's advice to Jon Snow was in line with Lyonel's advice to Dunk. Somehow Jon Snow's name was left out by my traitorous typing thumbs.

#AKOTSKSpoiler - pro-Dunk sentiments I have, and it makes me happy for these little wins for Westeros' most eligible himbo.

Okay, that's it. Just had some 🛡 and 🥚 thoughts I'd wanted to share.

(Egg is also great!!!)

#AKOTSKSpoiler - conversation kind of sympathetically encouraging Dunk to find someone to vouch for him, and the sex workers kind of reflecting on Dunk's "why must you mock me so?" statement and being sympathetic to Dunk when Dondarrion was being a chad.

This all lined up nicely with some -

#AKOTSKspoiler - outstanding. Great character introduction.

I was ready for everyone to be dismissive and dickish to Dunk, so I was pleasantly surprised how Dunk's earnestness seemed to soften some folks (not all, of course) - the Master of the Game's giving him a hard time but at the end of the -

#AKOTSKSpoiler - use of "show, don't tell"

Speaking of Tyrion, I was not expecting Lyonel Baratheon to remind me so much of Tyrion Lannister (complimentary) - him telling Dunk to Be Tall was quite in line with Tyrion's advice to embrace his bastard status as armor.

Lyonel Baratheon was -

#AKOTSKSpoiler - exception to the "do they even poop, bro?" rule, since Tyrion murdered his dad who was otherwise indisposed on the "throne"

Dunk: No fancy thrones for me...

If it offended you, I appreciate your feelings and I'm not trying to change your mind, I just think it was an effective -

#AKOTSKSpoiler - I thought it was an effective way to show how Dunk is a relatable, grounded regular guy. We assume Ned Stark pooped on occasion, but we have no proof. This kind of highlights how disadvantaged and normal Dunk is, as he has regular concerns.

Tywin Lannister is kind of the -

#AKOTSKSpoiler
Solidly loves how they took Dunk's inner monologue out of his head and into a conversation with his horses.

I know that there was a negative reaction to Dunk holding the sword and us having some strains of the GoT theme, before the hard pivot to him pooping behind the tree BUT -

Okay, I'm going to talk about the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, particularly things I liked.

I won't be spoiling future stuff, but I will be talking about the episode, so I will be using the AKOTSKSpoiler tag.

Adding the #AKOTSKSpoiler tag allows people to mute selectively also.
