A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Season 1, Episode 3, "The Squire"

This week, Da7e and Neil are hungry for bacon and egg sandwiches as Dunk and Egg get into more trouble than you'd expect from a 30-minute episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

In The Calm [05:18], your faithful hosts kick things off with several very important lore corrections from last week's pod. Then they discuss this week's big reveal, the tonal shift signaled by the closing credits music, and the effective deployment of the Save the Cat Horse trope.

Then in The Storm [01:03:34], Neil puts on his fortune teller cloak to unpack all the lore connections hinted at in this episode. And Da7e makes bold predictions about who may stand with Dunk now that he's in a bit of hot water. Plus, a bold claim is made about how this first season will be remembered...

Next week, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms drops its fourth episode early (on Friday, February 6) because of something called the Superb Owl, which means that A Storm of Spoilers will be in your feeds on Saturday.
