Yeah I def have to be watching different shows than some of y'all with this Arya and Bronn shyt.

Last night's episode sealed the deal on this talk. Bronn is not a sellsword and hasn't been since the Battle of the Blackwater. A sellsword would've fled the fight - not get the troops in line despite knowing they were outmanned and going to die in battle. A sellsword doesn't tell Jamie to escape to the castle - he worries about his own life. A sellsword would've disobeyed Jamie's command to locate and fire the arrows at the dragon. A sellsword would've picked up the bag of gold and ran. A SELLSWORD DOESN'T PUT HIS LIFE IN DANGER BY TRYING TO SAVE A MAN ATTEMPTING TO JOUST A QUEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF A FIRE BREATHING DRAGON.

The show literally, literally, gave y'all multiple point of references to show that Bronn's connection to the Lannisters was out of loyalty.

Bronn should've left after Blackwater - he didn't.
Bronn should've left after sneaking with Jamie into Dorne - he didn't.
Bronn should've left after the Septon got blown up - he didn't.

Bronn has no reason to stay in Kings Landing, but he continues to stay. And not only does he stay, he continues to stick by Jamie's side, essentially replacing Tyrion as his brother. The castle/gold promise is a red herring. It's like an alpha male being afraid to tell his homies he loves em.

:mjcry: I just don't want that man to die. A lot of my favorite people done died already.

I rewatched season 1 and that exchange with Benjen and Jon:
Benjen: "We have no families. None of us will ever have children."
Jon: "I don't care about any of that."
Benjen: "You might, if you knew what it meant."
Was Benjen with Howland Reed and Ned at the Tower? I don't doubt Ned would tell his brother but that seems like a "this stays with the people who were there when it happened" type of secret.

If I'm not mistaken, all that gold is owed to the Iron Bank so Cercei is at ground zero. In the scene where Jamie gives the gold to Bron, he asks for more money (and a castle) and Jamie tells him that "all the transported gold belongs to the Iron Bank."

I could definitely be mistaken, but I will rewatch & confirm tonight.
Jaime said to Bronn (referring to the gold in the carriage) "This money all belongs to the Iron Bank." He never said the bank had the money. In the next scene when Cersei is talking to the banker, she says the money is on its way and her brother is personally supervising it's return to King's Landing, meaning the money would be with Jaime the whole time to make sure it arrived safely.

people keep saying the money was at the gates of KL but i've watched the episode 3 times and haven't caugh that at all.


anyway, THOUGHTS:

Bronn cares about max deals only but he's not a traitor. He'll let the Lannisters know he's an unrestricted free agent and entertaining offers but ultimately I think Dany's the "I don't wanna pay" types so he'll stay put. Dany might kill him though, and further push Tiny T away in the process.

LF tried to manipulate Dr. Branhattan thinking he's still just a goofy kid that would be excited to hold a knife. Little did he know the 3ER can see every slimy thing he's ever done. Bran is emotionless but he still knows he has a part to play in defending humanity, which means making sure his siblings are in the proper positions to get LF's distracting ass outta the way to focus on whats really important (winter).

Meera thought she was gonna get at least a goodbye kiss. This nikka Branhattan didn't even toss her a towel to clean up or call her an uber. He gave her a bus pass and said "thanks"

My nikka Worm definitely ate it from the back and put a thumb in her butt. Dany wanted details and she was like "you're still my boss, chill."

Dany pulling Tiny T's card. He hates his sister, Qyburn and the Mountain but I don't think he actually cares about defeating anyone else on his old team. Tyrion the type to lose in the finals then be at a wedding with Jaime, mocking Dany's dragon dance on worldstar.

Podrick needs to give it up. He's got a big dikk and follows orders well. Go sell your body to widowed Lady's in the north. Being a swordsmen ain't for everbody.

Sansa could be salty because A) she thought she had a special bond with Brienne and then finds her little sister and Brienne got the same hobbies and became BFF in 2 minutes. B) her siblings all left and came back with epic talent while she was being raped by a nikka who watched too many abuse-porn vids and plotted on by some old nikka that still hasn't gotten over being curved by her momma 30 years ago. C) she hopes Arya has let go of their childhood differences because that bytch can fight now.

LF gonna try to drive a wedge between the sisters but they know what's up. I think Sansa kills him.

Davos lookin at Missandei like "so Naath girls don't pressure men about marriage? I know where my next vacation is." If he survives winter he's sailing to Sothyros to live out them "Mike In Brazil" fantasies.

Theon still a whole bytch.

dikkon should give his sword up to Samwell. He's unworthy.

Still underrated that Bronn does all his battling in a leather jacket and leather jogging pant (shout to Kanye). This nikka probably don't even fight in steel-toed boots. He's out there in the Yeezy's like a boss. Heard the stampede before everyone else, manned the scorpion, saved 'ol 1-hand, dide Drogon like Kelly Olynyk did Kevin Love. He's really the unsung MVP that'll never get his trophy. Lookin' like Jason Kidd in '02/'03.

Dothraki rode in like "brown savages MY ASS" , surfing horse, jumping off in on movement. holding two sickles while popping wheelies on stallions. Them nikkas is like Philly dirtbike nikkas crossed with Genghis Khan warriors.

Imagine you meet some mysterious brown girl in Essos, fall in love, and when you meet her family it's a bunch of Dothraki eating dinner with their sickle swords?!

That dragon did work. Wouldn't have had the weight it did if we didn't have to wait 6 years to see what dragons really do. Now we know why Targs ruled for so long and had the entire continent beneath the wall bending the knee.

Whole fight scene was crazy. All the food burned. Gold melted. Horses getting disemboweled and amputated in battle.

WHAT AN EPISODE!

I'm on vacation in Columbia. Finally figured out how to make my HBO Now work with a VPN. Just finished watching. Damn great episode.

I was so damn conflicted wanting Danh to win but not wanting Bron to die. Hell I didn't want Jaime to die.

Bout to chill in my room and catch up on this thread. i had to sneak away from the people I'm with because they just won't understand why I have to do this now on vacation.
If they don't give you GOT time on vacation, sounds like you need to hop on a plane home and leave them behind:camby:

Can't be havin people like that in your life:camby:


You can get a new family

got to give credit to the gm on that one :manny: considering his troubled past, it was a huge gamble to not only claim him off waivers but to immediately promote him to the starting lineup. a move that caused some dissension within the organization, but my god did it pay dividends.:wow:


a lot of people wandered how lanniset would go on after the gruesome injury of franchise player, Jamie lannister, and the loss of perennial coach of the year candidate, Twyin lannister. moves like this, along with the free agent signing of bronn, the destruction of the sparrows, as well as the destruction of houses tyrell and martell show that the lanniset front office knows exactly what it's doing. they recently just freed up a considerable amount of cap space, so expect big moves before the upcoming trade deadline.

Apparently their gm signed Noah Syndergaard too. He was supposedly fighting with the Lannisters last night.

Umm, he stayed all that time cuz they kept increasing his pay. You can't dismiss his pay as a red herring when they've had to keep increasing his pay in order to get him to stay. He's repeatedly demanded it.

Bronn is one of the most honest characters on the show. He kept it 100 with Tyrion when the subject was broached in Tryion's cell: He likes the Lannisters, but he ain't fighting for free.

Jaime said to Bronn (referring to the gold in the carriage) "This money all belongs to the Iron Bank." He never said the bank had the money. In the next scene when Cersei is talking to the banker, she says the money is on its way and her brother is personally supervising it's return to King's Landing, meaning the money would be with Jaime the whole time to make sure it arrived safely.

people keep saying the money was at the gates of KL but i've watched the episode 3 times and haven't caugh that at all.



!
then you're clearly not paying attention, randyll tarly explicitly says all the gold made it through the gate and that they (the rest of th troops) needed to hurry up and cross blackwater rush :gucci:

The nikka just jumped in front of a fire breathing dragon and y'all talking about gold :gucci:

There's a disconnect.

I don't think anyone will be able to out maneuver Sansa soon, politically. Cersei, Littlefinger, Margery, Joffrey, Ramsey and Tyrion were her teachers. And seeing who they learned from (Minus Joffrey), how can she not eventually be a beast?

As I said in the leak thread. Sansa is afraid she's on Arya's list. At one point she almost made it, lol... They weren't on good terms when they last saw each other as well, and at this point, they haven't told each other their journeys. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Briene won't be able to save Sansa....

Arya ain't killing her sister :stopitslime:
