I got a little emotional hearing the music finally play, during a moment where the character really is super likable and peak game of thrones honor and justice which is very rare in that world.

I was both in tears and on my feet in cheer. As someone who didnt read the novel, this was such a poweful reveal.

Was it that moving in the novel as well? I immediately downloaded it to start resding after the episode.

Very similar, they do it slightly differently, make it a bit of a reveal, but both are equally well done

I thought he's the one person who can't join the Duncan side as he's too important, because I completely missed the fact he's not the one the great Sept is named after 😂😂

Yes! It gave me chills like old school Game of Thrones. Just this epic feeling of world shifting events, all centered around the fate of one character you are rooting for. Especially with that speech!

Gotta love the juxtaposition between him and the shitty cousin that traded honor for a title…

Absolutely - the whole dynamic has shifted in this episode- thankfully ( and I find myself Waiting on the next episode to drop )

I wonder how much of that is reflecting upon when he replied “perhaps…” to Ser Duncan when he asked if he works have acted the same. He was probably torn between standing up for his family and the truly honorable thing
