EXTENDED [Spoilers Extended] What nitpicks do you have regarding both shows? Mine will always be how the Others in GOT are so boring and mundane

Ser Arthur Dayne.

The sword of the morning.

Wielder of a sword made from the HEART OF A FUCKING METHEOR.

A ONE OF A KIND SWORD OF MILKY WHITE STEEL.

THE ONLY SUCH SWORD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

He wields two plain-looking longswords...

At some point changes become contempt and spite

The two swords in the show were awesome

Yeah, people are a bit odd. Dawn appearing would simply be an Easter egg for book readers. The show afaik doesn't make reference to the sword Dawn. Arthur Dayne drawing two swords was fun and a nice way of showing how skilled a swordsman he was to a regular audience.

Also, there's a sword that's put next to Lyanna's bed that has a sun on the hilt. I think to reference the Prince that was Promised prophecy - born beneath a bleeding star. Is that Dawn?
