As a book reader I was surprised that it took until episode 3 for the reveal. I figured it would be episode 2, and was a little worried it would be episode 1, but this was done perfectly. It gave time to build where in this world we are an who are characters are (as people).
But I completely agree that Egg being a Targaryen adds a whole new element. Plus it gives Dunk a little bit of plot armor. As we see and as we saw, Dunk is a bit stupid. Without Egg, Dunk was about to be severely injured, if not killed outright. But with Egg, he can be the knight he was raised to be.
