From the previews we have seen it looks like the battle starts as a joust from both sides with each person lined up against another.
As for the Kingsguard they aren't allowed to hurt Baelor, but the other knights are very much fair game. Their first role is to protect the royal family, but they also have a duty as champions in this trial to fight on behalf of the accuser.
A trial like this can end in a couple of different ways. Either Aerion and Daeron withdraw their accusations, all of the champions on one side are either killed or forced to yield, or if Dunk dies or yields. The Kingsguard will not just sit there playing defense, it is in their interest to help the trial end as quickly as possible with minimal damage to their side.

Watched this movie last night and it definitely hit in the feels, but it didn't leave me sad or depressed. I thought the ending was poetic and beautiful and the whole movie is a great meditation on life. I took the message to mean that just being a part of this world no matter how brief our existence really is, is a blessing in itself.
As for the hurt girl in the woods, I think it was his imagination brought on by a combination of his profound heartbreak and desperation, mixed with the extreme isolation. The saddest part for me was him entering the world at the end and realizing how much of it had passed him by. It makes me wonder if that is what his wife and daughter would have wanted for him. But it was his life to live, and I didn't get the sense at the end that he had any regrets.

The horse he sold was his late master Ser Arlan's palfrey, which is a horse that is for riding long distances. They have a gentler gait and are more comfortable to ride but aren't suitable as war horses. The brown horse that him and Ser Arlan traveled with, but you never saw ride is their war horse who is used exclusively for jousting. So Duncan will still plan to joust. As for the lances I'm not positive but since it would be a hindrance to travel with that many lances, I assume that the lord who is hosting the tourney would provide the lances. No one said tourneys were cheap :lol:
When Duncan goes to the blacksmith to look into getting armor, he is asked "are you jousting or working?". By working he means squiring for a knight, because the job was actually very dangerous and squires themselves were required to don armor although less armor than a knight would need which is why he asked.
Also Dunk replies, "probably a bit of both", which means he is probably aware that Egg will not be able to squire very effectively.

I believe he is Lord Medgar Tully. The biting of the fish was pretty funny. Most of the Tullys we have seen to this point have been pretty uptight.
Him and his buddy Tom Segura both have very rich fathers so I’m sure that has played a part in both of their career arcs.

Reminds me of the lyrics:
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I"
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I"
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out

Dromod Village, in the Barony of Mohill, in County Leitrim, in the province of Connocht, Ireland. Our name was anglicized from its original old Gaelic version sometime in the 17th century.
Why do we have to be the bigger person than Kiffin though? After the way our own coach, his family, and the national sports media treated us, why should we take the high road?

I agree with you, and I don't bear Trinidad any ill will, but we would be helping LSU and Lane by extension which just feels wrong given everything that has transpired.

Genuine question, but how does it work with the request for his eligibility? If it comes back and is approved, can he transfer immediately? If we get the sense that he is going to try and transfer, should we not pull the request immediately to try and stop him from being able to play for LSU?

Old Firm is more than just a soccer rivalry. It is pretty embedded in Scottish culture as a battle between Catholics and Protestants.
He was featured in the movie Kingdom of Heaven. He is only shown at the late stages of his leprosy but his victory at Montgisard is mentioned.
Edward Norton was great in this role, but they definitely toned down his spirituality and made him more of a pacifist who was skeptical of organized religion.
The real Baldwin was deeply religious and understood that peace could only be temporary. He certainly understood that Saladin was a major threat. I think the film makers wanted him to counter the more blood thirsty portrayals of Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon.

Of those 6k defenders though many of them were servants, citizens conscripted as militia, or men at arms employed by the Knights Hospitaller. Only around 600 of them were knights belonging to the order. So it is a bit misleading but technically accurate.
Also to be fair, Edward II is far from the only gay king in English history. William II, Richard II, James I all were at one point accused or were known to have male favorites who were likely lovers.
I think the reason he broke into random English is because he is a rapper and if you ever listen to Korean hip hop/pop music their songs always contain English lyrics mixed in.
I don't know if this was just a tongue and cheek reference to the fact that the actor who plays him was in a KPop band, or if it is realistic to have young Koreans actually adding English into their speech, but he produced some hilarious lines.
Overall I think the weakest part of this season is that the side characters were boring and forgettable compared to Season 1. Thanos and his minion were the only real memorable ones.

I never understood why they didn't try to pin the code red on him after his death. I feel like that is what would happen in real life.
Anyone else remember seeing her in the music video for "Echo" by Trapt? I had to throw it on after hearing the news, what a nostalgia bomb.
The scene when the animals all howl together in support of Roz hit me in the feels :wah:
