So there is some sort of connection to the past and the future and the more magical elements of this show or this world expressed in this show.

Which has been miscommunicated to multiple characters.

But being like, I dreamed you killed me, right?

The opening, if not shot, sequence of the series itself is the clouds going in front of the sun over a field that looks like a dragon hovering over.

It basically looks like something has blotted out the sun.

I didn't know that was a thing.

Let's talk a little bit about the teams.

Because, you know, in this sports movie version of this, what's supposed to happen is nobody believes in Dunk.

Then we have this, like, gambling subplot where it's like, oh, no.

Is this really going to mean what it's supposed to mean if he's not winning it sincerely?

And then it takes a left turn and it becomes this, you know, trial.

And now he has to go raise like a mini army.

It's really cool.

I had a couple of questions about like, what would have happened if this had happened?

Because like, I'm kind of like wondering, you've got this crowd who's already pissed off at Arian about the horse situation.

If they make this guy forfeit a trial by seven, which is like already an antiquated idea because they stole one of the dudes off of his team.

Arian Brightflame gave these guys every opportunity to raise a hand.

And it just goes to show you how repulsive Duncan is that guys are leaving his team at the last second.

And he's just like, I'm on your side.

Is Stefan's flip-flopping basically a case of like, this is the only way if you're not royal born or like of a high house or whatever to like advance in the world is to like kind of step over other people.
