Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. This episode we’re full of realizations: Jerome Flynn pretty much owns the role of Bronn. GRRM is wrong (tune in to find out why), but we totally are the mountain clans, packing up a goat in our inventory for the road. Tyrion appears to be a morning person, but probably not much of a goat milker. Mord should not go to Casterly to get what Tyrion owes him.
