Looks like it’s being used with its original meaning of “foreigner” or “outsider”. Wasn’t until mid 20th century that it also started to be used for little green men.
I think I only read the first Dunk and Egg forever ago and don't remember much about it... Do the stories all have a lighter tone in general? The trailer certainly seems to lean in a more comedic direction.
Yes and no. This particular book starts out as just observing the funny shenanigans of the nobles before everything goes tits up.
The other two are darker in the sense that because pre-kingsguard when Dunk was just 'some dude' he has a pov of an actual peasant where we get more of an insight of how irrelevant all the high lords playing their game of thrones is.
Brienne and Arya come close in the main series, but at the end of the day they are both highborn heirs raised in castles. So his POV is typically more visceral. Especially 'The Sworn Sword'.
All in all it's if you took 'The Broken Man' speech and turned it into a short series.
It does seem the humour is tilted towards the first few episodes, with it becoming more serious and dramatic as the stakes rise. I am looking forward to the full Dunc calling for his final champion speech, with that snippet shown.
I mean, it looks good. I hope it is. Super bummed it is 6 episodes of only 30 minutes each. But that could be fine. Chernobyl was great and it was only a few episodes.
Alright everyone, Jory was first to post the trailer, it's pinned, all others will be removed.
Edit: Screencap discussions and/or memes will be allowed as usual.
It's only 6 episodes?! I swear to fucking god, soon enough we will be getting 2 episode seasons with 5 years in between. /rant
It’s a novella that you can read in an afternoon. I’d be very worried if they stretched it into 10 episodes. Also season 2&3 are already in production
AND only a half-hour a piece.

Yah they really are treating it as a “short story”
Confirming what I’ve long suspected - it should have just been a movie.
No! 22minutes episode. Just like a sitcom.
It's a novella. 6 episodes? You can tell this story in a two hour movie.
Thank God you said rant. Would have never noticed in such a nuanced sentence.
Ah the fuckers have given be hope again
I’m ready to be hurt again.
A false hope
Had to look it up because I couldn’t remember the word “alien” ever being used an ASOIAF

The *music pause* -> *quirky moment* format is such a migraine. Especially for a GOT setting.
Yea don't like it, both trailers could have been so much better
Goddamn that looks good!

only a few upvotes? this sub is dead along with its fans it seems, this shit was STRONG.
Bobby B , what do you think of this trailer?
YOU'RE THE KING'S HAND! YOU'LL DO AS I COMMAND, OR I'LL FIND ME A HAND WHO WILL!
Young Egg looks awesome.
Let's touch base with Bobby B, see how he feels.
YOU LET THAT LITTLE GIRL DISARM YOU?
From 10-8- now 6. Next it will be just 1 full episode
This may be a few years down the line, but I am hoping we do get to see Summerhall

Too old to play Duncan
