HBO ‘s new prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, opened with a jaw-dropping moment that not a single viewer could have possibly expected.

The show’s premiere, “The Hedge Knight,” opens to Ser Duncan the Tall (just “Dunk” at this point) burying his dead master, giving him his proper send-off.

Don't expect vengeful wildfire or shouts of "Dracarys!" Wanna-be knight Dunk is earnest, gentle and enjoys sleeping under the stars.
