After another watch and a week of reflection, the beginning of the episode, I think it felt so unnatural because in the book, those moments do happen between him and egg.

And they are surrounded by everyone else.

And it is awkwardly personal in the middle of it.

And I thought that the way that the show did that was interesting because it felt like

we were seeing almost a play on stage and we've got the spotlight on two actors in the front

or maybe it's a person's monologue and the characters in the background are moving and talking,

but you don't hear what they're saying.

And they're just talking a little bit too animatedly.

Just a weird inclusion of that breakup of reality, whatever something so real and visceral is going to happen.

And I think that's why we were all, everyone was kind of shaken when they saw the beginning of the episode of first, because it throws you right into the action, but it's just kind of heroy. And we described it as marvelly before. Right. Well, especially in a way that we're not used to thus far in and out of the seven kingdoms, because everything's been a little bit messier than this. And this felt, I agree with you said, it's like in those romantic comedies

where the two protagonists are staring at each other and it's like they're about to fall in

love, you know, kind of like the camera circles around them. You know, it wasn't obviously exactly

that. But I can fully see what you're saying. They're kind of like an opportunity to meme the moment and call back to something that happened that was in the trailer at the beginning of the show, you know.

But I mean, I think that at the end of the day, and what struck me so much on the rewatch is these guys don't know each other at all.

None of these people know each other at all. Egg and Dunk met like three days

ago, you know, and I know that that's part of the magic of the story and kind of how all this

plays out. And that's what fantasy is and that's what storytelling is. But, you know, they're sharing

this really special moment between each other and they don't know each other at all.

But I do like what you said and kind of agree.

At the end of the day, this is the story of the two of them, and this is their journey.

And we're at the beginning of that.

And so taking an opportunity to, while Dunk is in this situation that is very much seemingly out of his control, putting it back to the root of the story, which is these two guys who found each other, who are alike in more ways than they really know, even though they're from two separate worlds and, you know, completely different things. I'm not, I was not
