A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Just Dropped the Greatest Episode in Game of Thrones History

Episode 5, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” is quickly becoming a fan favorite, currently holding a 9.8 rating on IMDb. It masterfully combines exciting action with heartfelt emotion, as Dunk’s Trial of Seven commences and we see glimpses of his challenging childhood in Flea Bottom. Despite concerns that a flashback episode might slow things down, director Ira Parker made a brilliant choice. By revealing Dunk’s past and his relationship with Ser Arlan, the episode adds a powerful emotional depth to the Trial of Seven, making his final confrontation with Aerion Targaryen even more impactful and moving than the original story.
