Viewers React to Possible 'Dig' at Game of Thrones in New Series Premiere
# Fans of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms React to 'Dig' at Game of Thrones in Episode One
Viewers of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms were taken aback by what many interpreted as a jab at the acclaimed series Game of Thrones in the premiere episode. During the opening scenes, the show seemingly cut off the iconic theme song, sparking a lively conversation among fans.
In the initial moments, Ser Dunk's actions appeared to serve as a deliberate comedic contrast to the high expectations set by Game of Thrones. "Was not expecting the beginning to be building up to the Game of Thrones theme song being cut off with Dunk literally s****ing," remarked one viewer, illustrating the surprising tone the series has adopted.
Furthermore, another viewer noted, "It was said that the GoT theme wouldn't be in this series. I thought it was a bit symbolic to have Ser Dunk *****ing on the theme lol. Maybe a little dig." This comment highlighted the belief that the choice to omit the familiar theme was both intentional and clever, signalling a departure from the previous series.
The reception to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been generally positive, with many fans appreciating the adaptation of the novella. "I loved this. Followed the novella wonderfully. I could picture these characters as I thought about the story watching them come to life. So glad to see the small folk," shared another fan, underscoring the show's connection to the original material and its focus on everyday characters in Westeros.
