This is also bringing a special blend of irony considering Joffrey was trying to throw the deeds of an actual good man in Jamie's face when Joffrey is a pure little ****e. Pot meet kettle.

For sure, a perfect allegory! Do we know why Ser Arlan never Knighted Dunk? Did it never occur to him? or did he not think Dunk was 'worthy'?

I'm not sure. From my perspective, Ser Arlan is meant to be an enigma. Even Dunk didn't really understand him.

I feel like Ser Arlen might not be as noble or accomplished as Dunk makes him out to be, at least not in his later years (we know he was at least legit enough to go a couple rounds with Baelor at one point).

He may also not quite have had all his faculties in the end and I wonder if Dunk was taking care of him more than the other way around.

The exchange about the story of Alice had me rolling!!!!!

The part where goes one could hope for more. I almost spit out my drink.
