8 Biggest Game Of Thrones Book Swerves
3. The New Adventures Of Bronn
Bland old low-level politics and a little light murder are simply not good enough for such a dynamic and ever surprising character as Bronn of the Blackwater. And this arranged match with Lollys and the ensuing peripheral machinations in the books are not the main focus of the character in the show. Thanks to the Dorne connection.
Accompanying the golden pawed Lion, Jamie Lannister to rescue his Daughter-niece from possible assassination, Bronn gets to go on a jaunt that in those mean old books he had to sit out. In a beautiful swerve, we are treated to sword play, flirting, singing and flashing. Everything you could possibly want from a dirty weekend in Dorne. He even gets spiked, for Gods sake!
If you arent excited about this you should be. The showrunners willingness to inject Bronn where previously he was absent is an excellent sign of some unpredictable and volatile situations to come. If Jerome Flynns Flea Bottom cut-throat has charmed the execs into penning more shenanigans, there are endless possibilities for fun and heart stopping tension.
Not only is there a connection to the Sand Snakes but this leaves the door wide open for a reunion between Tyrion and Bronn. And the fights! Oh the fights.
