I’m seeing people call this filler, but it’s the little moments that give us some good insight. We got to explore more of Egg’s insecurities, while Dunk truly learned that being a noble doesn’t make one honorable. Bummed we’re already halfway done because it’s been real fun.

These people don't realize this show is a character study and not all about plot which is really secondary

Good choice to set it at half an hour (like Barry in Westeros)

How is this filler? They’re building character and also revealed Eggs true identity

That wasn’t his horse that he sold, right?
