What bad things has Bronn actually done on the show? Only thing I can think of is not wanting to be Tyrion's champion against The Mountain but that's sort of understandable.

Well, there is that little bit about his sister-in-law "falling to her death", I guess accidents will happen...

I felt that they cut a couple of scenes with Bran weirding out people at The Wall and their arrival at Winterfell.

EDIT: I don't wanna to spoil myself, but being able to read the script, summary and seeing the story board sounds absolutely fascinating.

Did he actually do it though? I know how he hinted at "mean people always get what they deserve" when he was talking to Lollys about her sister mistreating her but Jaime offered him a better wife and castle if he helped out with the mission to rescue Myrcella. He never did get around to actually doing anything to Lollys' sister before they went to Dorne. They haven't confirmed if he's still with Lollys or not so I guess he could've killed his sis-in-law once they got back from Riverrun but I'd bet he's probably upgraded due to him helping Jaime.

 

Edit--Lollys got married to Wyllis Bracken so Bronn.

Yeah.  I remember feeling quite awkward when the conversation between Sansa and Bran went south.

I understand that the point is to illustrate how Bran loses touch with people as he gains super awareness of reality, but why of all things mention that to your sister to show off your precognitive powers?

How about talking about the White Walkers and encouraging Sansa not to be an undercutting asshole when Jon is trying to fucking save the continent and is the only ruler actually acting like a responsible authority figure?

One theory I read is that this was his way of reminding her who it was that actually put her in that position in the first place (Littlefinger) and warning her of him.

Maybe the funniest moment from the entire show. Especially in the previous shot when you see Tormund making goo-goo eyes at her in the background.

Dany: 300 years ago some relative of yours made a promise and I expect you to follow it!

Jon: Yer da' burnt my family members alive.

Dany: whoa whoa whoa I can't be expected to answer for my father! Get out of the past and stay in the now, man!

Nothing on the show per se, but the character is a sell-sword (read: dirty deeds done dirt cheap),  and hangs with the Lannisters, so he's certainly suspect even if we haven't  seen him do anything awful.

That's just what I was asking about earlier. Is there any evidence he wasn't so awful pre-Kingslayer? Maybe in the books? Otherwise we're just going by what he told Brienne. I'd spin any of my past indiscretions in a positive light while discussing them in a bath with a girl I liked.

There is very little evidence that he was awful at all pre-Kingslayer.  He was pretty much a child prodigy with a sword and was knighted by Ser Arthur Dayne, who is pretty much the most knightly of all knights.  I always interpreted him as a guy who was in love with a crazy woman who manipulated him into being awful.  He's arrogant as all hell, but most of the truly awful things he has done he has done for Cersei, to save Cersei, or to get back to Cersei.  One of the things that shows his character is he was standing guard outside King Aerys' bedroom while he was raping his wife.  He wanted to go in and save her, but the other King's Guard told him, "We are sworn to protect her, just not from him."

I mean once you've made up your mind to do it, though, isn't it better to do it with some panache?

Had he broken into a chorus of "The Things We Do for Love" that would have been panache. What he did was just basic dickery 101.

Eh, suspect is one thing but lumping him in with the other bad guys is another. He's a guy who has a dubious job, works for some assholes and the worst thing we can pin on him is when he admitted to banging a married chick. If everyone who met those criteria was terrible then we're saying most every stripper is a bad person.

As far as good things Jamie did pre-kingslayer, what about helping Tyrion lose his virginity?  While his methods were a bit morally questionable, wasn't that essentially done out of the goodness of his heart?  And it was Tywin that was the asshole?

Jaime seemed to be one of the few people in the Lannister family who didn't resent Tyrion and unselfishly and unconditionally loved him like a brother should.  Trying to save Tyrion from an execution was a pretty unselfish act on his part, and it's one of the few purely unselfish things I can ever remember Tyrion doing, besides helping Brienne.  But I guess that's the thing about Game of Thrones.  No one is all good.  No one is all bad.  Characters are multi-faceted and operate in shades of grey.  

But still, what he did to Bran was definitely sociopathic.

Yeah avoid youtube until Sunday night. I had stuff popping up w/o even looking for it. At least one minor thing is semi-spoiled for me.

I had a pretty major thing spoiled for me on youtube. I was listening to GOT music on youtube when I was plowing through some work yesterday and one of the videos in the playlist was a guy doing spoilers. By the time I realized it was a spoiler vid and turned it off, I'd already heard something.
