- why do I feel something stupid coming, Egg put that sword down

- ajajaiajiajaja ok, Disney princess in training, I see you X)

- HE WANTS TO DO GOOD BY DUNK SO FUCKING MUCH OH MY GOD T.T Look at him run around with the spear and everything, that precious little hatchling

- kid is alone in a fucking field with a menacing dude and he's still mouthing off akanajajsj survival instincts are non-existent in this one I fear X)

- 'we are a vessel for the Warrior' alriiiiiiiight, whatever you say, pal 🤨

- uh oh Dunk is mad...... you can see, tho, that it's not something that happens a lot and, by his next reaction, that he only was - and said what he said - because that's probably what he heard himself when he did similar stuff and thought it was the expected reaction, only for Egg's reaction to immediately send him back to his default of being gentle and patient, proceeding ti take back his words and slowly teach Egg and give him encouragement.... goooood, I love Dunk so much and I only had him for like 2 episodes T.T (also his eyes are so goddamn blue what the hell)

- AJANSIQNJANAJQJA DON'T SHAME THE BABY, DUNK, IT WAS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION

- WHO THE FUCK TAUGHT A KID THAT SONG???????????

- the amount of sass on that kid ajabajqnsjbqjans 'it's a mystery' he says after listening to Dunk puke his guts out

- Tanselle does NOT want to deal with his awkward ass ajajabajaha

- Dunk splitting the whole thing evenly even tho someone his size definitely needs to eat more makes me remember how he says to Egg in ep 1 how he can see he's not eating much so now he's giving Egg this very big sandwich with fresh meat and eggs and also gives you a small glimpse into his way of thinking...... so much implied with such mundane little scene, it so goooooood!

- 'fuck your lambs' 'I DON'T want to talk about it' ajqbajbqjabqjabaj that trip on the lamb cart traumatized him X) and Dunk making fun of him by bringing it up ajqjajjaaj I KNOW Egg complained at length about it at camp and talked the ears off Dunk (they're so sibling-coded, this is the type of bickering I have with my big bro/sis)

- of all knights to ask that off...... the man choose honor incarnate

- OF COURSE THE BRAT PRINCE HAS SOME WEIRD SPECIAL DESIGN ARMOR THAT DIVA (also I KNEW he was Maekar's offspring, the attitude does not lie)

- huh..... seems like Baelor isn't fond of him.......

- also, Baelor fidgeting with his ring did bring my attention to his hands and they're very nice hands, ok (and I also just noticed the heterochromia somehow???? Is it a character trait or the actor just HAS heterochromia??)

- bro, leave the cutie alone?????????? He's such a brat, mygod

- huh, I have a bad feeling about this, the track is a bit eerie

- props to the costume department AGAIN because that cape is soooooooooooo gorgeous, the way it looks like dark red and black marble with gold accents/veins, so different from Valarr's neat design yet so very recognizable as belonging to a Targaryen because of the color scheme (which I also feel is a way of subtly showing the difference between the two of them like, Valarr being Baelor's son and 2nd in line to the throne, the perfect heir to a perfect prince dare I say, a perfect son, represented through that beautiful symmetrical pattern, plain black outside, plain red inside, balanced, all poised and measured like his dad, while Aerion gets this bright, chaotic design with the golden veins looking like lightning strikes, reflecting a more volatile and rash nature, the wild, unpredictable son of Maekar (?)) (<- putting a question mark there at the end because this is based on my general impression of them from what we saw and how they were introduced and talked about, so anyway, I babbled enough, back to watching)

- huh...... that was...... a move, alright

- and Egg looks very serious all of a sudden........

- HE DID NOT JUST HE DID NOT JUST FUCKING DO THAT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT GUY BRO

- lord Ashford, maybe get your daughter a couple of horses and a field's worth of flowers for her next birthday please, she did NOT need to see that, the poor girl is about to be traumatized for life

- I'm kind of loosing it at Baelor's face tho ajanajnqjs he be like 'there goes our good PR, goddammit' which, yeah, given the crowds reaction X)

- ajsnqjsnsijqja that man took one for the team with that rock throw and he nailed it X)

- THAT FUCKING PSYCHOPATH LOOKS PROUD OF HIMSELF WHAT THE FUCK (bruh, I'm about to mourn the fact they cast such a pretty boy as Satan incarnate but at the same time, it tracks when it comes to Targaryens so I can't even be mad at that, just accept it OTZ)

- nooooooo, Egg...... he doesn't just look sad or disgusted too, he looks downright furious...... I feel like this goes WAY deeper than what just happened during that joust (and while we're at it, can we appreciate Egg's actor????? he expresses so much through his faces and eyes without saying much)

- AJSBQJSBSJJQJQJQ LYONEL OHMYGOD (I love that ridiculous stag)

- meanwhile Dunk and Egg sitting over there, depressed as fuck X)

- such a deep and wise conversation because of a song about.... a girl with only three fingers putting said fingers into men's asses........ and even with a sensible moral at the end....... I need to pick at the brain of whoever wrote that (whether it be from the book word for word by grrm or an original by the show's writer) because what the actual hell, it made sense????

- ......... yep. Egg is 100% one of the missing prince and I really don't like what that lady said to him....... LEAVE MY INNOCENT BALD CHILD ALONE (please don't tell me he becomes some sort of mad tyrant OTZ)

- RAYMUN, MY APPLE BOY

- TANSELLE (she looks so good in blue again and also I need to see more of her COME ON MORE TANSELLE SCREEN TIME I'M BEGGING I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PRETTY PUPPETEER)

- ooooooh yesssssss, come on Raymun, read your nasty ass cousin to filth >:)

- Dunk is so naive about everything, the way he cannot fathom knights acting dishonorably..... Dunk, honey, I'm pretty sure you're on your way to be the only honorable knight in Westeros

- BRO AJQBAJQBJSBAJSJ RAYMUN DID NOT STUTTER

- NOPE NOPE NOPE FIVE MINUTES LEFT AERION JUST SHOWED UP EGG LOOKS ANGRY AGAIN SHIT IS ABOUT TO HIT THE FAN I CAN FEEL IT (also ugh, but Aerion does look kinda cute all fascinated by the dragon puppet, he definitely grew up hearing tale after tale about dragons, especially as a Targaryen prince, and that's probably the closest he's ever been to one given that dragon no longer exist in that age, even if it's a fake one....... and there I go making myself feel sad for the psycho brat, wtf Gigi?????)

- OOOOOOOH NONONONONO THE FEAR IN HER EYES THE PEOPLE HAVING STEPPED AWAY FROM AERION TANSELLE RUN

- yeah, drunk guy from ep one is Daeron/the other missing prince and Egg is Aegon......... now what the fuck is going on with these siblings because that would mean I was right about Egg's anger going deeper than what happened at the joust but what exactly makes you hate a sibling as much as Egg seems to hate Aerion???? Granted, the dude has been despicable so far, it doesn't leave much to the imagination but still, I'm curious

- NOOOOOO TANSELLE

- HELL YEAH WRECK HIS SHIT DUNK

- ....... was the tongue thing really necessary????? also (I know I say also a lot but bear with me, this a reaction thread, not a thesis) I like how Aerion moved as he got up, unfolding himself, almost like a dragon.... there something very, reptilian? kinda? about him

- OI DON'T SPEAK LIKE THAT ABOUT TANSELLE YOU HELL SPAWN

- 4 men to handle one Dunk..... show em, baby (he is very hot while pissed off, damn)

- ARE THEY SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO CURB STOMP HIM??????? Meanwhile the psycho prince is sitting over there like 'yeah, lemme get the best seat to watch this' bro what the hell is wrong in that lizard brain of yours???????

- BAH I FUCKING KNEW IT

- oooooooh Egg, no, my poor hatchling........ he does NOT want to be even remotely resembling Aerion

- the betrayal in Dunk's eyes...... more than shocked, seems like he can't believed he got lied to and played like that by Egg of all people........ noooooooooo, I'm not ready for them to have a fallout T.T

- the music and camera work tho 😌🤌 just this side of over the top with how dramatic it is but in a very classic way, if it makes sense??? It feels very theatrical in a way that we don't see a lot on TV and I feel that is more often used with an underlining of comedy, meanwhile here, every cut to the each character has a purpose, the panning out, showing Egg standing tall, a prince of the realm, over Dunk, sprawled on the floor, who barely escaped torture, a show of the new dynamic, not a knight and his squire, but a revealed prince towering over a nameless/house less knight raaaaaaaaaaaaah I love it!! I also find it very fitting of a medieval-esque story, which, from what I heard about the asoiaf books, matches grrm tone much more (but that's a more of speculation, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
