A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms continues to charm in its second episode, “Hard Salt Beef,” which sees our heroes prepare for the tourney in Ashford Meadow. Spoilers ahead.
Ser Dunk (Peter Claffey) can now enter thanks to Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel), the first and only knight that vouches for Dunk’s former master, Ser Arlan Pennytree (Danny Webb), who henceforth shall be known as Ser Arlan the Long. That was . . . quite the “reveal" though one can’t help but wonder if this is just another of Dunk’s exaggerations as he builds up Ser Arlan in his memory.
We learned last week that Dunk believes his former master only beat him when necessary, but the flashbacks told a different tale. In eulogizing Ser Arlan, Dunk is also inflating his valor and honor and, well, everything else.
