Oh, and another reunion! We came close to getting this last week - they shared a scene, but didn't actually meet - and the show delivers here, with Bronn tricking Jaime into meeting with his brother.

Although the two parted on good terms, the fact Tyrion then went and killed their father does sour things somewhat, as kinslaying is wont to do. It means that rather than a reunion charged by the fondness two characters have for each other or a long-desired homecoming, there's real tension and bitterness, but signs of the brotherly bond underneath.

Credit again goes to Peter Dinklage, who earnestly gives it his all in trying to convince Jaime, and to Coster-Waldau, in another of those great moments where he can't help but eventually go along with his siblings. They're not back on the same side yet, but it's a big step towards that, and a very satisfying reunion (especially given Jaime once vowed to kill his brother), where you can see both the animosity and rage, but also the love between them.
