“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” has lots of things. Rousing, gory action. Meticulously stuffed trenchers of food among the set design. Fart jokes. But this show’s also got range. Find yourself a series that does a bombastic operatic flourish at its midseason cliffhanger (with actual opera) and drops Tennessee Ernie Ford in its season finale.
According to showrunner Ira Parker, the musical and tonal playfulness in “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” all grows out of trying to find and honor the spirit of the show’s main character. Poor Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) might not want much to do with Targaryen princes, but he sure keeps Forest Gump-ing his way into dealing with them, particularly the stubborn youngest of the brood, Aegon, aka “Egg” (Dexter Sol Ansel), who hasn’t yet been fully corrupted like his noble siblings.
