## Resource

This week, Da7e and Neil return to Westeros to meet Ser Dunk and his new friend Egg as they make their way to a tourney and HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms gets underway. In The Calm [04:26] , they discuss the show's leisurely pace and lighter tone, the chemistry between its leads, and the many colorful banners they spotted in Ashford Meadow. They also discuss the lore behind stories about The Vulture King and the mummers' play about the knight with the mirror shield. Then in The Storm [54:16] , your faithful hosts break down the "Weeks Ahead" trailer and discuss how the show will pad out the plot of George R.R. Martin's novella with flashbacks, dragon dreams, and feats of strength. Next week, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continues with episode two, "Hard Salt Beef" on Sunday evening, then Da7e and Neil will be back in your feeds with their deep dive on Monday afternoon.
