First off, if you're not all caught up on Game of Thrones — WTF?! But also, stop here because this post does contain a pretty big spoiler.
Great, now for the rest of you up-to-date Thrones fans, let's get right to it. Remember the Loot Train Battle from this week's episode? Of course you do! Because it was only THE most epic scene of the show so far.
And probably the most tension-filled moment (okay one of several) during this ~fiery~ battle was when our beloved sellsword Bronn got up on Qyburn’s scorpion.
Because, as much as we love Bronn — how loud can I shout this — DON'T HURT DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I know I'm not alone in my feeling about this:
However, unfortunately for Jerome Flynn (aka Bronn IRL), this mutual fan feeling has bled over into his REAL life. Speaking about the epic Loot Train Battle Flynn told Making Game of Thrones,
I was surprised when I was watching it. I spent weeks on that sequence, but I was on the edge of my seat, the adrenaline was running — they really nailed it. Although since the day the battle aired, I’ve been a little unpopular, I have to say. My postman won’t speak to me because I shot the dragon.
That's right, even Bronn's OWN MAILMAN won't speak to him because he shot Dany's beloved #1 dragon.
Although what happened on screen was pretty damn upsetting, I DO have to say, I don't think I'm alone in saying I was impressed with Flynn's performance.
In fact, he told Making Game of Thrones that he REALLY SHOT scorpion,
Yes, I shot that thing, so it was real. It was all part of the sequence and training. The armorers on this show are just geniuses, and they try to make everything as authentic as possible. It’s probably the coolest weapon I’m going to get to play with.
Okay. Bronn may have shot Drogon — which is completely unacceptable — but, IDK, I'd still be kind of sad if he doesn't make it out alive after what happened at the end of "The Spoils of War?"
