EP804: The Last of the Starks (Spoiler Discussion)

Horrible.

This show is only a shadow of it's former self.

I don't agree with that. Bronn has always been only concerned with himself. He just works for the highest bidder. 

Cersei gave him an offer. And now he is going to the other side shopping for the best deal. 

Seems consistent.

I am talking about his manners and not about his deal proposal. He would make jokes of Tyrion but not be so blunt.  As a matter of fact he used to enjoy Tyrion's company and did so just a few episodes back.

I liked that scene, especially the clout in the nose.  Bronn did an awful lot for those two, but his big paydays--the ones he got to keep--have come from Cersei (or Qyburn in Cersei's name). It was awfully nice of him to give them a chance to finally pay him for all he did on their behalf.

He was in a dangerous situation. He had to be blunt to quickly communicate "We need to get down to business. I am not fooling around here."

Tyrion and Jamie have had a history of making light of dangerous situations and fooling around.

Bronn wanted to get in and out quickly, and unnoticed.

Im saying the fact that he's there in the first place is regressing the character. And honestly rather foolish when Bronn rarely seemed to be downright foolish before. His response of 'this f-cking family' or whatever was spot on. He knew then that there was no way he'd come out on top of this situation. Better off staying with those whores.

I think you made a good point that he should know better that he can't be the Lord of The Reach. That is worth more than 2 or 3 other regions combined.

Good point. But so what?

Tyrion has made stupid deals before.
He might have been thinking "Bronn could get killed. Then what difference would it make?"
"Even if he survives, I could get killed. Once again, then what difference would it make?"
"Even if we both survive, Bronn would take something else rather than just kill me."

Tyrion has done this before. Thinking he can talk or think his way out later on, if and when they cross that bridge.

My point is not that Tyrion was making a stupid deal. My point is that Bronn is an extremely intelligent person and he would know that what was offered to him was unattainable. As Tywin lannister had hinted before, you just can't do whatever you want. You have to pick someone from The Reach (one of the key noble families of that region) and you can only make them Lord of the Reach (Samwell Tarly qualifies for that because he is from a noble family of the Reach). If it was some minor landholding or small castle then it would be believable. But the Reach has like 20% of the whole economy of that continent and the highest population. Bronn would know that there is no way he gong to be the Lord of the Reach.
