Knowing Varys, I've no doubt he was standing in that doorway many sentences before he actually walked in. Quietly eavesdropping. Old habits probably die hard.
Ohhh, this type of stuff was golden. Two intelletcuals and an experienced sellsword, engaging in conversation and battle planning. I could seriously watch an entire episode on just those three talking. It truly aches my heart to know what their characters are reduced to in the final seasons :(
Michael, Dwight and Kevin plan the defense of kings landing. Michael immeadately bails, Dwight comes up with a ridiculous and elaborate plan that fails the moment stannis lands and Kevin steals all the donuts and holes up in a remote part of the city.
I think any sort of "high council" needs an occams razor type person like Bronn. Someone to simplify and remind people not to overcomplicate things. He knew what the problems really were and would be.
Not just in feudal courts. Any corporate structure needs a straight talker who won’t spend thousands to figure out the obvious. The problem is that honesty and pragmatism don’t really push you up the food chain. If people like Bronn were allowed in board rooms, consultancy firms wouldn’t even exist 😂
@Jack Zimmy I've said it once before and I'll say it again... corporations are essentially just modern day aristocracies. Within corporate structures, flattery and bullshitting are usually rewarded. Not actually good leaders. And the shareholders making decisions in boardrooms are only there because they were able to buy their way in. They are literally not required to have any knowledge/skills... just a shit ton of money. Sounds like a nobility class to me. No wonder why private industry is so inefficient at everything tbh... and no wonder the few companies that are actually democratically run (Worker Co-Ops) tend to have better chances at long term success and be more resistant to economic crises.
It's the small details that make the writing golden. Varys walking in and saying the name of the author correctly, only for Tyrion to give Bronn that "Fcking told you so!" glance. It's just easy, natural and economical storytelling.
I love how when Varys enters, Tyrion is still trying to figure out of how the spelling correlated to Bronns pronounciation. You can see his lips moving as he reads the name over and over again and don't really care Varys is entering.
@S1rWakka Any competent military can defeat ISIS, they only lasted so long cause Syrias army was preoccupied with a civil war and Iraq's army deserted en mass
@Oliver K. ah, gotcha. Spent some time in Managua almost a decade ago, the grandfather of the family whose place i stayed at had a machete set aside for any unwanted guests
I bet Tyrion felt at the time that it was the worst and most stressful time of his life. Being alone, with no previous military or siege or ruling experiences, and forced to figure out how to prepare a whole city and its defenses for an attack from a much higher force, commanded by a seasoned general. While all the inhabitants ungratefully and fully depended on him to save them from being in all likelihood sacked and raped and killed in masses. And all the while having to answer to a hateful sister and nephew. Who, along with their groveling followers and their Kingsguard, not only were oblivious and useless and incompetent, but were almost openly against him and could potentially at any moment find out about his secret lover and make him never know what was done with her, or use her in the worst ways against him. And yet... He was at the prime of his physical integrity, which he still had. At the sharpest, though perhaps not the wisest, of his witty political mind, which was still not weathered nor beaten by guilt and inner conflict and life. Empowered and trusted by a father who had never done so before. Missed by a brother who still loved him. Loved every night by a very "skillful" lover who was still totally devoted and loyal to him. Accompanied by the best and most reliable and most protective squire ever, as it would soon be proven, who he still had. Counselled and assisted by his most competent and arguably best friends in the world, who still fully had his back. And constantly having the upper hand on his haters, who still couldnt humiliate or destroy him. Oh my dear Tyrion, how could you have known that this was actually the best time of your life, and that it would all change so suddenly, and would unlikely ever come back...
Because the book Tyrion ends at the capture by the slavers. Everything else after that was made up by the show writers who are good at adapting from the source material, but can't write their own material for shit. The lack of book material explains why the show went rapidly downhill from season 6 onwards.
@bigsmall246 Wrong, they know how the book series is planned to end. GRR Martin gave them all of his source matierial or enough that they knew the basic and 2ndary story points. They did what all transactional individuals do. They milked GOT for all it was worth then when they thought they had Star Wars lined up they dropped it like a burning sack of shit, they did this with Rome as well. The 2nd season while still good is at warp speed plays out just like the last 3 seasons of GOT.
I love how when Varys concedes that Bronn's tactics have a point, he starts cutting his hands again as if to say "I won", but then Varys names the archmaester and Tyrion is like "yeah, well I won that one. Maybe my wildfire plan is going to work."
@ 1:37 Varys slinking in from the dark, having dropped an eaves on the entire conversation, knowing his timing with perfection, a true player of the game.
When he said “it’s a shame Archmaester Ch’Vyalthan wasn’t a better writer.” Subtle intimidation that he hears everything and knows everything, he was such an OP character.
"Have you ever been in a city under siege?" Look at Varys' face, he's already internally conceded the point, he's just waiting for Bronn to finish his point as he's the one who knows best.
if i was varys i would have responded in a more sarcastic way like : "better ! we could throw men at their books" but then again, i would have not lived long in this universe for sure.
Realistically, digging trenches, bringing seawater for boiling water and releasing all non combatants out of the city as much as possible should be priority. Less supply demands + delaying the siege means buying time for Tywin's relief force.
Bronn always maintained this presence as a clever man who always has the simplest, practical answers to every problem. The final seasons could have certianly held my attention longer if some turn of events broke even his cool.
The amazing thing in this scene is how even when he has no dialogue and out of focuse you can see Varys' actor is still acting, reacting to what is being said
You know, despite Geoffrey and Cersei being thsee, this was peak King Landing politics. Both Varys and Little Finger on "the same page", Tyrion as hand, Bronn as the gold cloacks commander and The Hound as the personal bosyguard. That was Kings Lansing at the peak of strength in a post Robert Baratheon world. Imagine if it was Tommen who was crowned instead of Geoffrey. A fairer king, treating Sansa fair, having not executed Ned, and treating Tyrion with love and respect, etc. Kings Landing would have been impossible to succesfully invade. And that is without Selmy and Jamie.
love the unspoken dialogues going on in these scenes "we could throw books at them" --> you lords dont seem to have much of a clue about fighting "we dont have that many books" --> i might be a desktop noble but im not stupid "we dont have that many men either" ---> either way we are screwed
1:52 This line is even funnier if you read the books because it says that Varys actually started out as a common thief in Essos before making his way to the Red Keep.
You can tell that by the way Bronn describes it, he's no doubt lived through seige before in the past. My theory is that he was a kid during the war of the Ninepenny kings, and that he was lived in a city that was under seige and witnessed everything that he's describing happened with his own eyes.
Brilliant acting, all three off them, in all their scenes, their characters are masterpiece. But here they are very funny, too. :D Absolute joy to watch them. Tyrion is my favourite.
Bronn: “Me and the lads rounded up all the known thieves.” Tyrion: “For questioning?” Bronn: “Ah, no.” Varys: (well shit, I just lost a few little birds…)
"Me and the lads rounded up all the known thieves" Bronn understood the point of the gold cloaks with scary precision. I mean, Daemon's original gold cloaks' first act was... Exactly that...
I've never watched Game Of Thrones, but am obviously aware of the season 8 fiasco, and what a damn shame... This here, this is SO good. I'm almost don't even wanna keep watching clips on Clip-Share because it could end up in me getting hooked... and we all know that only ends in heartbreak starting with the latter half of season 5, and culminating in season 8.
3:02 George RR Martin knows GOT. He knows which storyline is the strongest, he knows which Season is the weakest. Season 8. Could destroy the fanbase in minutes and it's only 6 episodes long
Not one of the best swordsmen. One of the best fighters. He didn't rely upon his sword. He fought dirty, and used whatever weapon gave him the best advantage. Sword, knife, crossbow...
The unspoken dialogues... ah. If only the writing was this consistent then no doubt that GoT will forever be classified as one of the best shows alongside the LOTR trilogy. If only.
@Hyde Whyte or that certain name have multiple different yet accurate spellings and pronunciations. For example Hercules is Heracles but also valid are Heracle, Hercle and some other names that don't start with H.
Though being truly authentic you’d have a hard time reading any of them. Damaged pages, dirt or grime covering up text. T’would be exciting seeing the videos of people translating it though……early on till it became copy and pasted by others
@TheKpa11 Real medieval books weren't like that. In fact, people who did own books treated them better than their own children. Books being "dirty" is just another Hollywood glamorization.
George RR Martin has released "Fire and Blood" and "The World Of Ice and Fire" which are written from the perspective of in-world authors trying to document history, they're both incredible reads I very much recommend picking them up if you haven't already. Fire and Blood is an awesome biographical work following the lives of Targaryen kings from Aegon's Conquest to Aegon III's ascension/end of his regency, whereas TWOIAF is more encyclopaedic in nature and covers literally the entire known history of the world, or rather the fragmentary myths that make up said history.
@Captain Obvious How is representing medieval books as dirty in any way, shape or form "glamorous"? Also, yes, books _would_ be overall dirtier in an age where cleanliness was difficult to maintain compared to nowadays.
That's because "pig shit" was their nickname for Wildfire. When Tyrion says "pig shit" he was referencing Wildfire to Bron. That's why he says it seriously.
Actually, keeping your hands clean is standard army training: clip-share.net/video/k4eMhddTPg4/video.html Yes, now I get that although the video I linked you was from modern military standards, Bron has been shown time and time again to be much more knowledgeable than your average cutthroat. He could have known the value of good hygiene.
Sept. 6, 2018----First time I heard of this series was some time earlier this year when my aunt commented on how she watches every episode. My response was: yawn. But then I watched one, quickly followed by others. Which means I want to buy the tv series AND all the books just so I can compare the two. Thanks for the video clip.
It would’ve been super cool if Bronn was suggested “custom armour”… He’s got the money or the finance to pay for it. I certainly would… a sell sword, let’s just say you have to prepare for an “emergency”. Basically if Tyrion dies or locked away or fires you… take what you can, but a nice brand new shiny sword and certainly buy a nice piece of armour. Should you have to go back being a sellsword…
For all his reputation, we don't actually see Bronn fight much. He can't have the training or experience of, say, Jamie in his prime or Ser Bariston. He did seem willing to take on the Mountain in one scene, along with 2 other King's Guard, but I have my doubts.

This was before he wrote letters of open rebellion out in public… god I miss this show
Bruh
WHERES THE NEXT BULLSHITTERY SOVIET
It’s a 10 year old video, Womble.
Every old thrones vid i find i see a fresh comment from you lmao
I love Varys’ face when Bronn said he rounded up all the known thieves, he most definitely killed some of his little birds
“😧”
Varys is so good at this shit
LOL his face was priceless, but he knew Bronn was right. No doubt already hearing those very things already.
Ohhh, this type of stuff was golden. Two intelletcuals and an experienced sellsword, engaging in conversation and battle planning. I could seriously watch an entire episode on just those three talking. It truly aches my heart to know what their characters are reduced to in the final seasons :(
A "The Office" version of King's Landing would be funny af
Get over it.
@Monotech20.1 I´ve been trying
@Monotech20.1 Impossible, they just butchered the show
Michael, Dwight and Kevin plan the defense of kings landing. Michael immeadately bails, Dwight comes up with a ridiculous and elaborate plan that fails the moment stannis lands and Kevin steals all the donuts and holes up in a remote part of the city.
I think any sort of "high council" needs an occams razor type person like Bronn. Someone to simplify and remind people not to overcomplicate things. He knew what the problems really were and would be.
Every king who wishes to rule for a lengthy period should have at least one teller of truths
Not just in feudal courts. Any corporate structure needs a straight talker who won’t spend thousands to figure out the obvious. The problem is that honesty and pragmatism don’t really push you up the food chain. If people like Bronn were allowed in board rooms, consultancy firms wouldn’t even exist 😂
Underrated comment.
@Jack Zimmy I've said it once before and I'll say it again... corporations are essentially just modern day aristocracies. Within corporate structures, flattery and bullshitting are usually rewarded. Not actually good leaders. And the shareholders making decisions in boardrooms are only there because they were able to buy their way in. They are literally not required to have any knowledge/skills... just a shit ton of money. Sounds like a nobility class to me.
No wonder why private industry is so inefficient at everything tbh... and no wonder the few companies that are actually democratically run (Worker Co-Ops) tend to have better chances at long term success and be more resistant to economic crises.
I like how bronn is probably the cleverest person in the room with varus and tyrion
It's the small details that make the writing golden. Varys walking in and saying the name of the author correctly, only for Tyrion to give Bronn that "Fcking told you so!" glance.
It's just easy, natural and economical storytelling.
I love how when Varys enters, Tyrion is still trying to figure out of how the spelling correlated to Bronns pronounciation. You can see his lips moving as he reads the name over and over again and don't really care Varys is entering.
It also implies that he was listening to their conversation before showing up. Classic Varys.
It's kind of shame though. It would have been so much better if Bron was right.
@Sylver nah
@Senior Chief i thought it implied he recognized the book and he's read it before
I love how practical Bronn is.
"I'd trade all your books for a few good archers." Turns out a few wasn't required. Just one, Bronn
@Bird Man and he wasn't paid in books...
@S1rWakka Any competent military can defeat ISIS, they only lasted so long cause Syrias army was preoccupied with a civil war and Iraq's army deserted en mass
@Áron Nemcsik so in the books he did everything out of loyalty to Tyrion?
2:47 Gotta love how Varys was able to say “That book is worthless.” In such a polite way.
“Me and the lads rounded up all the known thieves”
“For questioning?”
“Uh, no”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Varys be like O_O
Kinda wish Bronn and his lads visited my city lol
@Oliver K. I'm guessing you're somewhere in Cali?
@magmat0585 No, but pretty much every city in latin america could use some help from Bronn lol
@Oliver K. ah, gotcha. Spent some time in Managua almost a decade ago, the grandfather of the family whose place i stayed at had a machete set aside for any unwanted guests

This is beautifully written

Dialogues were gold in the first seasons.
Ariel Goldfarb Now look at season 8 🤧
well this is the second season
In season 8, the only dialogues I hear is "Mah Queen" and " I don't Wan it". Abit sad that all story boil down to.
@Therion84 yes I stand corrected, my mistake, thank you for pointing it out
I love how when Varys concedes that Bronn's tactics have a point, he starts cutting his hands again as if to say "I won", but then Varys names the archmaester and Tyrion is like "yeah, well I won that one. Maybe my wildfire plan is going to work."
Amazing writing
Varys's face when he realises Bronn killed the thieves😂
But .. then again now I don't question daemons action hmmm..
Oh he knew already I’m sure. He just wanted Tyrion to know without telling him himself
Varys's face when Bronn talked about the thieves
CripTik Storm Varys was a thief himself so his reaction seems appropriate
Tbh he always makes tho weird background faces which are funny.
CripTik Storm the face of someone who just lost a few spies probably
@187Ares "oh, so that's why Ralph hasn't been reporting in recently"
How many of them would have been his birds?
@ 1:37 Varys slinking in from the dark, having dropped an eaves on the entire conversation, knowing his timing with perfection, a true player of the game.
Also what does he say to Bronn after addressing Tyrion as "my lord Hand"? I can't make out what he's calling Bronn
@hombrejose commander
@hombrejose "Martha"
When he said “it’s a shame Archmaester Ch’Vyalthan wasn’t a better writer.” Subtle intimidation that he hears everything and knows everything, he was such an OP character.
A little late to be trimming the hedges!
"Have you ever been in a city under siege?" Look at Varys' face, he's already internally conceded the point, he's just waiting for Bronn to finish his point as he's the one who knows best.
Bronn -"We could throw books at his men!"
Varys -"We dont have that many books"
Bronn -"We dont have that many men, either"
This made me giggle.
if i was varys i would have responded in a more sarcastic way like : "better ! we could throw men at their books" but then again, i would have not lived long in this universe for sure.
I couldn't stop laughing 😂🤣
i love how there's a lot of sub text with high level players. But every scene with Bronn is STRAIGHT to the point
Realistically, digging trenches, bringing seawater for boiling water and releasing all non combatants out of the city as much as possible should be priority. Less supply demands + delaying the siege means buying time for Tywin's relief force.
And where do those non combatants go?
@Bornst3llermakes doesn’t matter you need to save the food.
Soldier: King Stannis, they're throwing books at us! What do we do!?
Stannis: Uh...
jamal Stannis: lets use them to burn sheeren......
Soldier: We have far less men after those books were catapulted into our men.
Stannis: Fewer.
IcedEarth426 Blackwater theme then plays
Let's read those books
Rahul Kashyap we finally know one of the ninjas cutting onions: Sir Davos.
For a few moments I am transported to another place and time. Very grateful for the excellent writing/acting.
The interesting thing is that that place is not earth if you think about it, it might look like it but it's not our earth.
I had the same feeling.
Bronn always maintained this presence as a clever man who always has the simplest, practical answers to every problem. The final seasons could have certianly held my attention longer if some turn of events broke even his cool.
I dunno I think his rant to Jamie after Drogon burned the supply train was rather pointed
I love the face Varys makes when he learns something he doesn't already know, like at 2:03
I think Varys primarily wanted to find out why the birds stopped singing.
The amazing thing in this scene is how even when he has no dialogue and out of focuse you can see Varys' actor is still acting, reacting to what is being said
You know, despite Geoffrey and Cersei being thsee, this was peak King Landing politics. Both Varys and Little Finger on "the same page", Tyrion as hand, Bronn as the gold cloacks commander and The Hound as the personal bosyguard.

"we could throw books at them" --> you lords dont seem to have much of a clue about fighting
"we dont have that many books" --> i might be a desktop noble but im not stupid
"we dont have that many men either" ---> either way we are screwed
i just thought he was being sarcastic when he said they didnt have enough books
@Queue he was
?
@Queue what do you think sarcasm is
During a siege there isn't much that you won't throw at the enemy. 'cept food. Cobble stone streets get pulled up for ammo.
I love how they both silently agreed that however Varys pronounced the name was the correct way
Everytime i hear Varys response i burst out laughing its so funny 😂
Bronn cuts to the point of anything so well that's why I love him.
This show was so amazing. How could they do what they did to it at the end. I just can’t get over it I’m sorry.
1:52 This line is even funnier if you read the books because it says that Varys actually started out as a common thief in Essos before making his way to the Red Keep.
Bronn brings the sort of wisdom the books leave out
The face Tyrion makes when he hears how the name is really pronounced is funny as hell
You can tell that by the way Bronn describes it, he's no doubt lived through seige before in the past. My theory is that he was a kid during the war of the Ninepenny kings, and that he was lived in a city that was under seige and witnessed everything that he's describing happened with his own eyes.
I’ve rewatched this scene more times than I’ve watched all of season 8
Well yeah, I mean, this was back when the show was great.
I don’t know why but Tyrion and Bronn trying to figure out the archmeister’s name cracks me up
1:28 this doesn't even look like acting, feels like a legit reaction and I love it
"GODS! THE WRITING WAS STRONG THEN!"
"THOSE WERE THE DAYS"
*THANK THE GODS FOR BETSY*
It was so strong it caved in rhaegars breastplate
I see what you did there LOLOLOLOL
Go get the dialogue stretcher!
Brilliant acting, all three off them, in all their scenes, their characters are masterpiece. But here they are very funny, too. :D Absolute joy to watch them. Tyrion is my favourite.
Bronn: “Me and the lads rounded up all the known thieves.”
Tyrion: “For questioning?”
Bronn: “Ah, no.”
Varys: (well shit, I just lost a few little birds…)
2:56 That exchange between Tyrion and Bronn is priceless.
I love how Bronn refers to the Goldcloaks as "the boys" and "the lads" lmfao
"Me and the lads rounded up all the known thieves"
Bronn understood the point of the gold cloaks with scary precision. I mean, Daemon's original gold cloaks' first act was... Exactly that...
He could have kept some alive for interrogation in case he needed them later.
I know, ironic.
Holy crap, Daemon and his Gold Cloaks were cold as frick.
"You don't want me cleaning m' nails. You don't want me looking at you? Why am I here?"
"See, this is why the children never visit!"
I don’t get it
@Rafi Ashraf Arguing like an old married couple.
The look on Vary's face at 2:10.😆
the way Bron looks at Tyrion when Varys says the name of the maester who wrote the book makes me laugh so hard, hes like TOLD YA
I've never watched Game Of Thrones, but am obviously aware of the season 8 fiasco, and what a damn shame... This here, this is SO good. I'm almost don't even wanna keep watching clips on Clip-Share because it could end up in me getting hooked... and we all know that only ends in heartbreak starting with the latter half of season 5, and culminating in season 8.
1:33 How Bronn answers it wrong with such confidence🤣🤣
The rivalry over how to pronounce Shovelthin was pure gold.
3:02 George RR Martin knows GOT. He knows which storyline is the strongest, he knows which Season is the weakest. Season 8. Could destroy the fanbase in minutes and it's only 6 episodes long
I love how Bronn always kept wearing this obviously too long vest, like some beggar, but still one of best swordsmen there existed.
Not one of the best swordsmen. One of the best fighters. He didn't rely upon his sword. He fought dirty, and used whatever weapon gave him the best advantage. Sword, knife, crossbow...
The unspoken dialogues... ah. If only the writing was this consistent then no doubt that GoT will forever be classified as one of the best shows alongside the LOTR trilogy. If only.
Gosh i love how funny they can be even in a dire situation.
Favourite scene of the entire series. This feels like what would happen before a big battle. Petty squabbling.
Plot twist: None of them know how to actually pronounce the maester‘s name.
It's actually a great joke by the author to address how many people when reading books deal with unpronounceable names.
@Hyde Whyte or that certain name have multiple different yet accurate spellings and pronunciations. For example Hercules is Heracles but also valid are Heracle, Hercle and some other names that don't start with H.
I imagine Varys standing in the doorway for a moment but when he heard Bronn say that maesters name wrong he had to interfere
Love how fast their bond was forged so soon in the show.
I love how they all pronounce the Arch Meisters name differently lol
we can throw books at stannis. gets me all the time😅
Love how after Bronns rise in authority during this conversation, he goes back to cleaning his nails.
Tyrion's tone of voice when he says "For questioning?" always makes me laugh
Boss: "You have to wear formal wear to work"
Me: "We had a contract, but wearing formal wasn't part of it"
Hahahah
I love how Variss is the only one to properly pronounce the authors name lol
I love the small hand gesture Tyrion makes to Bronn when they didn't learn the pronunciation of the author's name
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, the great sieges of Westeros."
Brilliant acting...pure gold
My favorite part of this scene is Tyrion gesturing to Bronn about the pronunciation of the archmeister's name after Varys said it lol
Love those small moments when Bronn reveals himself to be smarter than you expect, even if he screwed up the pronunciation
Bronn and Tyrion. Secretly married.
Kia Maria shut up
can i 😘
Everytime there was kings landing scene in season 1-4 I got so excited. You could tell GRRM loved writing the politics around here
that was such a great scene, awesome writing
This Bronn guy know his stuff. I bet he'll end up as Master of War or in some position where his talents will shine.
With all his intellect, he would rarely never get one over on Bronn. So entertaining, this duo.
I really wish they published real copies of in-universe books like the one Tyrion read in the real world.
Though being truly authentic you’d have a hard time reading any of them. Damaged pages, dirt or grime covering up text. T’would be exciting seeing the videos of people translating it though……early on till it became copy and pasted by others
@TheKpa11 Real medieval books weren't like that. In fact, people who did own books treated them better than their own children. Books being "dirty" is just another Hollywood glamorization.

@TheKpa11 I was more referring to the books are about than the actual texture of the books.
@Captain Obvious How is representing medieval books as dirty in any way, shape or form "glamorous"? Also, yes, books _would_ be overall dirtier in an age where cleanliness was difficult to maintain compared to nowadays.
A shame Archmaester Ch'Vyalthan wasn't a better author.

@Triglav Apothecary ༀ 😂
“Ah, the great sieges of Westeros, thrilling subject. Shame D&D weren’t better writers”
I love how they all say the Maester’s name differently
Peak GoT. Crisp, witty, brilliant.
THe way Tyrion says "pig shit" with intention of humor while still looking as if he says it seriously cracks me up every time...
That's because "pig shit" was their nickname for Wildfire. When Tyrion says "pig shit" he was referencing Wildfire to Bron. That's why he says it seriously.
This is why we loved your show, HBO, the characters! Do them justice this time around
"I'd swap all your books for a few good archers" - That is a badass dude!
"I like to keep me hands clean." Ironic coming from a sell sword.
Actually, keeping your hands clean is standard army training: clip-share.net/video/k4eMhddTPg4/video.html
Yes, now I get that although the video I linked you was from modern military standards, Bron has been shown time and time again to be much more knowledgeable than your average cutthroat. He could have known the value of good hygiene.
@Captain Obvious
I'll do your job for you.
He meant Bronn's hands are not clean in the figurative sense because of the nature of his work.
@Captain Obvious username checks out
I live for Varys' facial expressions. xDDD
We could throw thieves at them!
Bronn: "We don't have many thieves, either."
Anymore.
Tyrion Reading the book cover is the best part
I love how genuinely baffled Tyrion is at the name of the author of that book, lol.
Sept. 6, 2018----First time I heard of this series was some time earlier this year when my aunt commented on how she watches every episode. My response was: yawn. But then I watched one, quickly followed by others. Which means I want to buy the tv series AND all the books just so I can compare the two. Thanks for the video clip.
Looking back at this, we know the clue what Bronn did after we all saw what Daemon did in the pilot episode of HOTD
What
Because Viserys and Robert allowed kings landing to get to that point.
What are you even trying to say lol
Seasons 1-4 were perfection
Ohh god after rewatching the whole series 7 times it was today i realized tyrion was referring to the wild fire pots when he said pigshit
It would’ve been super cool if Bronn was suggested “custom armour”…
He’s got the money or the finance to pay for it. I certainly would… a sell sword, let’s just say you have to prepare for an “emergency”.
Basically if Tyrion dies or locked away or fires you… take what you can, but a nice brand new shiny sword and certainly buy a nice piece of armour.
Should you have to go back being a sellsword…
sometimes I forget why I liked GoT and then I rewatch a scene like this and its the chefs kiss
2:06 Varys be like "glad this guy wasn't in charge when I was a kid"
If only the last season was as compelling as this.
These two! Bronn, a brilliant character.
Bronn deserved his own series
Dan and Dave might have shat the bed in seasons 5 onward, but they did a heck of a job adapting the books.
This is my favourite trio. The whole Arch-Maester Cheveliahthandshs gag is golden.
i love the irony of bronn saying he likes to keep his hands clean, when his profession as a sellsword requires him to "get his hands dirty" often.
For all his reputation, we don't actually see Bronn fight much. He can't have the training or experience of, say, Jamie in his prime or Ser Bariston. He did seem willing to take on the Mountain in one scene, along with 2 other King's Guard, but I have my doubts.
As an avid book reader of high fantasy i empathize with Bronn and Tyrion. I cant pronounce 2/3 of the characters names either!!!!!!!
