A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Created by George R.R. Martin, Ira Parker
A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros: a young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits await these improbable and incomparable friends.

neutral · AI labelView post →Season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms tonight!!! I haven't been this invested in a tiny bald kid since Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender :D
positive · AI labelView post →Dunk & Egg are a different breed of hero than what you'll find on Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a different breed of show, from the whistling-heavy soundtrack on down. What it has in common with its predecessors is that it's good as hell. (Gift link)

positive · AI labelView post →Finished Sea of Tranquility and honestly didn’t love it. The characters felt hollow and the conclusion was underwhelming.

neutral · AI labelView post →You're 100% correct, I will say however that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is actually good, in the same way that Andor is the only good show in the Star Wars IP.

neutral · AI labelView post →While writing about A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms I've been re-reading "The Hedge Knight" and it's reminded me of how good the show has been at matching the general feel of the book's illustrations. For example: Here's Steely Pate and Egg helping Dunk into his armor for the trial by seven.

positive · AI labelView post →I watched the first two eps of A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS on my flight today, and it kicked so much ass that I honestly do not care if GRRM ever actually "finishes" his "saga" Just let smart people play around in the continuity sandbox he invented, with his permission! The show is so good!!!
