Pretty sure he died saving Jaime, but you never know.

mediocre episode
until FUCKING DRAGONS
until FUCKING DRAGONS
Because he's badass and a likeable character so they keep him around. Why does anyone have plot armor in fiction?

Bronn should have died. Jaime still needs to kill Cersei, but I would have been OK with him dying here.

Man, that was an episode. Jaime sinking cliffhanger was a lame way to end it, though.

Bronn is dead or dying
That's what the shot of the pouch of gold signifies

If GRRM had written this:
Jaime would've died in Drogon's first flyover, as would both Tarly's.
Bronn, would've killed Drogon, but then been burnt to a crisp.
Dany would've died when Drogon crash landed on top of her.
A random meteor would've hit Tyrion on the head and killed him.

I feel like that definitely could have helped the episode but it was still god damn awesome so I'm not complaining.
It mirrors Tyrion's, which served as a kind of rebirth for that character. I.E. when that one episode ended with Tyrion sinking.

Oh for fucks sake. They're calling it "The Loot Train" battle...

They're also building Sams brother up for something big. Actually makes sense given the time George spent on Sams backstory. I wonder how it will all tie together.

Because of Cersei's discussion of The Golden Company with Tycho?
Thought the same thing. His days are numbered.

there is joy in sucking dick
Lets not go too far. Its up there with some of the LOTR scenes
It's just way too much here. I don't mind him, I kind of like him, but they went overboard with his survival stats this episode.
He survives a dothraki horde. Aight.
He survives dragonfire. hmm.
He injures a dragon. Wait what.
He surives dragonfire again while saving another person from dragonfire. Oh fuck off already.
No, he's fine. He went into the water with Jamie. They could be captured next episode, but I doubt either will die.

Regardless of all the shit we talk in this thread, that was fucking AWESOME.

That was a good episode. Bronn really should have died, though.

Nahhhh, he ditched it like it was a sack of shit. The trope would've been him dying picking up the individual pieces. Bronn ain't gonna fall into that trap.
But, I mean, he'll probably get done in at some point. Bronn falls into that class of character who really doesn't matter narratively anymore, and only exists to make the show a million times better -- see Tormund, Davos, Brienne. We're gonna get at least one emotionally manipulative death out of that group.
And this is really pretty much the exact thing I came in to post in the first place

Bran going "Chaos is a ladder" was the most badass line

So he dies by water and not fire?
Nope he's the only one that can tell Cersi that Olenna killed Joffrey and for that reason alone he will live.

I screamed at Dracarys. Got damn.
No one here doubts their ability to make badass crazy battles. It's the rest of the show we bitch about.

I agree. Funny how the show went from anyone can die Over anything to, we're not going to kill anyone despite how unbelievable it is they survive! First Jorah, now this shit
Not even the throwaway Dickon died! That was surprising.
He's gotta stick around for Sam to show up at some point.
Randall can get some chickenshit death though.

Definitely could be - but I assumed it was to show his growth as a character - he usually is only motivated by gold and material things (and to save his skin, as indicated by his refusal to fight for Tyrion against the Mountain). However now when the chips were down, and he lost his gold, he stayed around to help out even at the risk of his life for a cause, and to help Jamie altruistically. Looked like his new motivations give him superpowers, haha.

If Dany ended up killing Bronn I think viewers might sour a bit on her. Dude's too likeable. At least that's how I saw it.

In the book there was no grand scheme. Joffrey hired the guy on a whim after hearing Robert say it would have been better had Bran died. The knife was Roberts.
The show has never revealed that. In the book, Tyrion discovers the truth while in King's Landing. Think it was during that scene when Joffrey hacks up the books Tyrion gave him as a wedding gift.
Yeah. He's got some plot armor. I agree.
Hmm. Great take. Didn't think of it that way.
