Ridiculous Bronn pop-up - Game of Thrones (2011) Discussion

That scene was jarring and weird. Bronn is my favorite character, but that was my absolute least favorite Bronn scene ever.

It exposed his true nature. I had hopes that under all of the tough sellsword talk, he considered the Lannister brothers to be his friends.

His true nature as a random Ninja who can walk in armed to the hand of the queen of the opposite side?

Yep, pretty ridic.

True, at the end of the day he is a sellsword and loyal to gold above all else, but basically he just teleported into Winterfell to threaten Tyrion and then he teleported out. He isn't a faceless man that can stealth, and even if he could get all the way in to the inner parts of Winterfell, how does he get out after threatening them? He is just one guy with a crossbow in the middle of an army that would kill him the instant Tyrion or Jaime pointed out to them he was one of Cersei's people. Like so many recent scenes, it just isn't a plausible sequence of events.

Jaime and Tyrion weren't at Winterfell. The scene right before showed them riding up on Wintetown. They were at an inn there. Sort of stupid to have them suddenly there, then suddenly back at Winterfell.

It was hilarious, best lines for about two seasons

I would give that honor to Tormund. Him crying on The Hound's shoulder because Brienne spurned him for Jaime was hilarious.

Unless... they are paving the way for Bronn to do some unexpected selfless thing...

[–] whynotwriteme (7119) 5 years ago

I would like that. Let's hope.

Is Bronn saying he wants to wed Cersei? That'll be interesting to see, as the actor and actress can't even stand to be in the same ROOM as each other!

That's why the scene. Apparently Lena Headey won't don't a scene where Jerome Flynn is involved in anyway. Due to a relationship that ended over 15 years ago.

So they have no choice but to essentially write him out.

The scene bring up many questions. How did Bronn get into Winterfell completely unnoticed? How did he know where Tyrion and Jamie were? How did he know that nobody else would be in the room with them? Why doesn't Dani provide a security detail for Tyrion when he is her top adviser? Where did Bronn go after he left? The North is a cold snowy place. It doesn't seem like there would be a lot of safe places for Bronn to hide out there.

Bronn: "So many questions. You may have noticed that they were sitting in an inn at the time, totally oblivious. No security to speak of. And at that time of night chances are most people have turned in which also means no witnesses.

Doesn't look to me that Tyrion is much of a priority to his Queen. This is good because I've been waiting a long fookin' time to finally get what's mine. I think I made it clear to those two nurks what my position is and what I'm due.

There are plenty of nooks and crannies to hide in the North, so I won't be making myself a target. Can't say the same about those two. I kept well clear of the action during the night battle at Winterfell. I was kind of assuming that they would all end up dead but looks like Jon and company are pretty lucky."

1. He wasn't actually in the castle itself; they were in WinterTown, outside the castle.
2. He probably had been watching the castle. All those dumb scenes with Brienne watching for the candle did have a point after all.
3. He probably didn't, but took a calculated guess. Given the heavy casualties sustained in the battle, he figured not many people would have been out and about.
4. Because Jamie was with Tyrion.
5. The smallfolk wouldn't know who Bronn is. Half the people at Winterfell weren't from the North, so it would have meant nothing to the common people to see a wealthy southerner traipsing around. They would have figured he was part of Dany's retinue and ignored him.

[–] whynotwriteme (7119) 5 years ago

Would an inn outside the castle even be standing now? Would Wintertown even be standing after a couple of hundred thousand wights besieged the castle?

reply

[–] Alerra (244) 5 years ago

Maybe. The zombies don't care about attacking a place where there's no people, and there was no one in WinterTown when they arrived. Everyone was inside the castle.

[–] ATG6 (3000) 5 years ago

Really? you think he would have trouble infiltrating Winterfell, after 70 percent of the defenders just died, and there are massive armies from everywhere milling about and a lot of strangers? Give me a break.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Wintetown, not Winterfell. And do you think the hand of the king travels without guards?
A very shoehorned appearance and all because the want to wrap up Bronn as a sellsword with a downward arc.

reply

[–] Alerra (244) 5 years ago

Perhaps the point of Bronn in this season is to emphasize the effect all the political instability is having on the people. As Jorah said way back in season 1, the common people pray for rain and for a summer that never ends. They don't really care which king or queen sits on the iron throne. Bronn is sick and tired of all the political backstabbing shenanigans, and he is sick and tired of being sick and tired. In that way, he is representative of the people of Westeros. He doesn't care who sits on the throne. He just wants what's best for him.

What's best for him is to never appear again on this turned-out-to-be shit show.

Bronn needs a spin-off show. :D
