As for whether Dunk is a true knight, I believe that he becomes one throughout the novels. During the Ashford Meadow arc there are subtle hints that Dunk unknowingly partakes in the necessary ceremonies and that he has the blessing of Seven:
- before the ceremony the knight is to humble himself by wearing shift of undyed wool. It is probable that a string of hemp is used to tie the cloth. Dunk uses one to tie the scabbard as mentioned by OP
- the ceremony involves vigil, accurately described by the OP. The tree and the falling star become Dunk's coat of arms. Falling star is also present in the coat of Arms of Dayne family. This might imply that Dunk is descended from Daynes. But more importantly it reminds us of Sword of the Morning tradition: it is not enough to be anointed, you need to prove yourself. Dunk soon proves himself by defending the common people against Targaryen prince.
- Dunk kneels before prince Baelor as he vouches for him thus confirming his knighthood. Balor does so to honor ser Arlan, his former tournament rival. Balor can be seen as Warrior and Arlan as Father. We see both of them die, Arlan in the beginning of the novel, before he knighted Dunk and Balor, at the end, after he completed the task (sort of). Stranger is the personification of death.
- the tourney is in honor of lord Ashfords maiden daughter. Dunk defends Tanselle, a young maiden, she paints a shield for him. Dunk receives a kiss from a young maiden before the Trial. These are the blessings of a Maiden.
- among puppeteers that Dunk stands for is the big Dornish woman, who might be Tanselle's mother (Mother).
- when Steely Pate (the Smith) brings Dunks war-gear he is carrying a lamp (the Crone artifact) and he brings the words of wisdom.
- Dunk is cheered by the old man (Father or Stranger) and a brother of faith blesses his sword (anointment).
- OP mentions how Dunk is being patted at the shoulder which BTW is not an easy task with someone that tall, which adds to the feel of the supernatural
- as mentioned by OP Egg - a mysterious boy (Stranger) - dubbs Duncan "the Tall", which prevents him from giving a false name "of Pennytree".

Generally speaking Targaryens are not fireproof. Martin once said that Daenery's experience with the funeral pyre was "a one time magical event." There's still some debate as to the extent of Daenerys's resistance to heat and fire, Martin may even have changed his mind since he claimed it was a one time thing years ago, we don't know.

But we do know for sure that Targaryens have burned. Aerion Brightflame from the Dunk & Egg stories burnt to death after drinking wildfire. Rhaenys "The Queen who never was" Targaryen was burnt to death in the Dance of Dragons, while Aegon II received horrible burns in the same battle. 

For all I know Rhaenys was fed to the dragon not burnt to death... but clearly the Aegon II case (burns) proves that you don't need to be heat resistant to actually own or mount a dragon. Thanks.

How is the dragonlord gene passed in T family

Also, the people who gave this episode a 1...are you trolling or what? Even if you don't like battles or the plot, you could atleast give some points for the way it was filmed....

I cannot because it looks totally fake.

I'm not a snuff movie enthusiast so showing pointless exaggerated violence has no value to me.

I've seen some bad writing, filming and acting in my life but this is the worst thing I've ever seen.
