Like they took one over on us?

It's not reluctance, though.

Yeah, it's more of the fact that he's forced to be in this position.

Earned moments, I think, is something that you had mentioned before when it comes to

the theme music that comes here like we have the joke that like we subvert the expectations of when like he takes a shit in the hedge to the theme song and then when that is reflected again it's when he's about to face off

Against all of his foes.

It's also like, in my opinion, an example of the like capital F filmmaking that like is subtle, but very good in this show where not only is I think that the theme illustrating that he's not ready for the heroism that is going to befall upon him later on in the show.

So we're not going to give you that heroism in the form of music.

We're going to give that in like a little shit comedy moment.

An earned moment to me looks like in the filmmaking in this episode is definitely when the younger Fossaway is being knighted.

And I would have thought that, oh, this is going to be an amazing chance for Dunk to knight someone to take up arms in the cause that is reflected in him.

But no, it's done by our guy, the Elder Baratheon.

Lionel Baratheon, the Laughing Storm.

fucking awesome and as he's saying the words of like you know i charge you to be brave i charge you to be just and all of these things it's shot with dunk from above as if he is being knighted in these moments and he looks up to the sky thinking of uh penny tree and

And in those moments, you see Penny Tree's visage just being like, you got this?

I mean, Dunk doesn't know how to do it.

No, he doesn't know how to do it.

But it's those exact same thoughts as if he is being knighted and it's reflecting down from the heavens to Dunk to Baratheon to Fossaway.

And it's so beautiful.

And it's something that I was absolutely captivated by.
