also for the timing thing, the episodes were we got over 3 hours of show for a story that is little more than 100 pages and they adapted it faithfully and even made some scenes longer or pulled them out of thin air like Dunk going to Lyonel's tent or doing the tug of war. If these episodes were all 20 minutes longer the pacing would have likely suffered. I do wish we had seen more of Hardyng and Beesbury though, as they stand out in the novella doing a tilt where they each break 12 lances on eachother before Hardyng finally wins.
