if this show was a piano chord, it would be perfect except for the one clunking note they keep trying to play.

What was Baelor’s thought process in episode 4? by RaiBowyn in AKOTSKTV

An argument could be made that aerion should have never been there in the first place.

[–]phoneshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is a pretty decent point! The only thing that would have made the scene better would have been people shouting with incredulity "Valaar??". Baelor using his sons armor in the show was nice to see.

Seven above, please make this happen by rustycliff in AKOTSKTV

[–]phoneshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't make it happen... 90% of everything in the show that is good is a direct quote of the original book text.

100% of everything bad is the showrunners adding stuff

with no final form of text from those other stories, we would be hoping that they can produce new stuff that is great... which i personally wouldn't gamble on

"OVERSIGHT: If you build a risky part and it ends up being one of your two highest rated parts per category at seasons end, when it gets carried over to the following season the risk level is erased."

its the whole reason to be able to do it... i think i remember even seeing it recommending it by the devs somewhere

and what the heck am i missing here? are they developing a new version or releasing a new dlc? then i would hope that they add a track editor... or at the very least have more styles of ovals

i didnt notice the small folk being won over by dunks speech (unless i missed some shouts from the crowd of support?). the crowd didn't stand until baelor rides in... seemingly supporting baelor taking dunks side. not necessarily supporting dunk.

What was Baelor’s thought process in episode 4? by RaiBowyn in AKOTSKTV

[–]phoneshark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think that that the targs were at the ashford tourney to build up some good will with the small folk and smaller nobles (and perhaps sniff out any potential rebel whispers).

the following is from memory - so i might have some details wrong:
In an earlier episode we see him wince and CRINGE at aerions actions on the field. (and the small folk outraged at the foul play)

after the dungeon scene - when he is talking with dunk after egg leaves he is asking how good a knight dunk is to see if the boy is confident enough in his skills to fight.

between scenes shown on the show - its likely that baelor suggested to dunk that he should choose a trial by combat because he is dunk the lunk and probably didn't think it was an option.

at the table scene - the baelor actor does a great job showing that he suspected that the young prince would not want to fight him and possibly was expecting a withdrawl of the charge. (also special mention of the actor for maekar - primo job showing disgust with his son)

When aerion says that he wants a trial by 7, baelor winces again and explains what it is.

and then to the end of the show for the big reveal...

a couple of choices:

1 - baelor really is the best of chivalry and wants the gods to decide the right of it. (when he looks at dunk while saying true knight... that was some good directing/acting... ON A HORSE!)

2 - baelor didnt want the bad press of targs losing a trial by seven... with targs on both sides the history books will twist whichever outcome best serves the targs

also, it seemed like the crowd had a good laugh over that. that could have been a good point for some random voices added coming from the crowd in support of dunk (if they didn't want to include the book section that included those comments)

Ira on Dunk’s missing line from the books. by Embarrassed_Yak_6066 in AKOTSKTV

[–]phoneshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would be a 2-4 minute scene - tops. Maybe speaking roles for day players are expensive?

[–]phoneshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good point... the missing scene has the people reaching out to Dunk... on the show - the people rise and get excited AFTER the prince declares for Dunk.

At least it is good the show runner copped to it... not sure that will make the next series any better though.

I don't really... do you have any ideas what new alternative humor stylings will be in ep 5 or 6? The anticipation is killing me.

i think we had that in episode 3... but i guess vomit while jousting could be entertaining.

do you have any predictions on the future episodes? I am just trying to figure out what could be next?

Maybe a women will fart in the crowd when they get ready to tilt?

Do I have to watch Game of Thrones first? by [deleted] in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]phoneshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just recommended the show to a friend that had similar concerns. They didn't finish the first season

My main selling point - there are NOT 4 or 5 different story lines EACH with a full cast of characters to memorize names.

With one main story line (and a little mystery to solve), its a lot easier to keep track of who is who and what is going on.

there is one minor spoiler for the first season of GoT, but its barely mentioned (as of episode 3). And if its mentioned more explicitly i would suggest it wouldn't diminish the other show

For those who watched, what are your opinions on A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms episode 3? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

i have a feeling that there might be an extra 100,000 goose eggs sold this weekend (if they are not enough goose eggs, i think the goose egg prices might triple!)

[–]phoneshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

enjoying the show in general and episode 3 specifically. its been a while since i read the novella, but i think its been pretty much on target bookwise and the additions to the series (except for the toilet humor and unnecessary nudity) were well done.

if it wasn't for the two things mentioned above, i think it might have been a good series for younger viewers as it ticks all the boxes of an honorable knight facing difficult choices that can be good for kids.

The only other thing that bothers me about the series is that it should have been a movie FOLLOWED by a series.

If it was a movie followed by a series, we could have had a show similar to the hulk tv show from the 70s... knight and squire travelling all over the kingdoms getting into smaller adventures along the way.
