So, here's why HBO's new show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms opened with that shocking projectile pooping scene.

Two days ago, HBO Max released the Game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Overall, the third installment within the A Song of Ice and Fire franchise by George R.

The showrunner for HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff has revealed the reason for pivoting away from the show’s iconic opening music and diving into a shocking season opener that left fans and the original creator shook.

Sphere Entertainment, the company behind the Las Vegas landmark, says that it has inked a deal with the state of Maryland, Prince George’s County, and Peterson Companies to develop and build a second Sphere venue at National Harbor, a major tourism destination in the area.

As he makes this decision in his mind, the music is accompanied by HBO’s iconic Game of Thrones theme song, but just as the music begins to crescendo, it is interrupted by a shock cut of Duncan graphically taking a dump behind a tree.
