A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Show has earned a spot in the weekly rotation. Another George RR Martin adaptation from the Game of Thrones universe. More heart and humanity and less scheming and plotting than you find in Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. Actor and former rugby player, Peter Claffey, seems to be a perfect fit for the role of Ser Duncan the Tall - a character mentioned several times in the original Game of Thrones series. Recommend.

Absolutely love it! It is a great show, and shows you a GOT world that is outside the Kings & Queens and rich people. I have been excited about this for awhile, mainly because a couple people who's opinions I trust said that the stories/books were the best outside of the main GOT novels. They loved the books.

My only small complaint, only 6 episodes and all are less than an hour (I think). But yeah, great show, comedy, heart, action...it has it all. Highly recommend.

Is this going to be another show where George R. R. Martin doesn’t finish because he doesn’t feel like working and then people (buzz) about the conclusion?

Don't see that being an issue here. The tv series is just following the 3 completed novellas that recount the adventures of the main characters of the show. Each season will just be one complete story.

Martin has said that would like to write more stories in this series but that it would have to wait until he finishes 'Winds of Winter'. In other words, we won't be getting any more Dunk and Egg books.

Well last night's episode was pretty awesome, with the last 5ish minutes being some of the best ALL time of the GOT universe. Yes I said it.

This show is killing it. And yes, totally agree that the end of episode 4 was one of the best in the GOT-universe. Between the knighting of Raymon Fossoway, Ser Dunk's speech, the "response" from the unsavory gentleman in the crowd...and then you hear the gates creak open and the theme song kicks in...heck yeah!

Only 2 episodes left in the season, unfortunately.

Yea, I’m loving it as well. After this first season I’m going to have to go back and read the books again.

Especially nice for those of us who wished they had a bigger budget for the action during the Tournament of the Hand in the first season. And also the general lack of ridiculous helms and armor during most of the show. Aside from The Hound’s sweet dog helm, I guess. And while the helms and armor and fighting are better in this show, they could still go a bit more ridiculous on them, judging by the descriptions in the books.

Great first season. Wrapped it up nicely, and set things up for season 2. I only wish season 2 started next week! It is going to be a long wait. Is it true the stories/books are only 100 pages? I can see why the episodes are so short then. Anyways, great all around. I think it has hurt the hype for House of the Dragon, simply because IMO it is so much better.
