    It crossed my mind that maybe it was a Dothraki saving Jaime by order of Tyrion... but nah, def looked like Bronn. Seeing those two as Prisoners of Ty and Dany will be entertaining.

    The force tells me that Jaime was saved by Kal-Bronn.

    I'm pretty sure a Dothraki blood of my blood would have told Tyrion to eat a proverbial dick.

    Nabbed this from a Youtube vid. 99% looks like Bronn :)

    So when everyone was watching the battle were you thinking cowboys and indians or Michael Caine in Zulu?

    Actually I was thinking I wish I had a dragon. Could be useful in certain situations.

    Oh but think of the upkeep. As they say in Westeros, "sheep ain't cheap"...

    ...I'm kinda happy that @Marvey doesn't have one. Thinning the herd around here would be quite different.

    Of course it was Bronn, and of course Jamie isn't dead. *not spoilers, just common sense*

    This "cliffhanger" was almost as bad as the time they stabbed Arya at the end and people wondered if she was a goner.

    I'm surprised people are even having to second guess that it was Bronn who saved Jamie. He was the only one who was by the dragon during the time, and the only one with enough significance in the story to do such a thing.

    The real question not getting asked is not weather Jamie will live (of course he will), but did Bronn survive? I can totally see an opening scene with a dead Bronn in it. He was already way more of a character in the show then he is in the books...

    Bronn needs a proper payment still. Lost his gold and has no castle... There is a lovely Sand Snake just waiting to be rescued though.

    That looks like the edge of a river or lake or whatever. Why is Jaime going down deep and weighted down by armor with possibility of being drowned, on the shallow edge of a little lake? Maybe it kind of goes deep really fast?

    Anyhow. Jaimito will definitively survive. Kal-Bronn will most likely survive. Why Jaimito survives, I dunno. The lord of light works in mysterious ways.

    Isn't it the edge of Blackwater Bay...inland part of the Narrow Sea?

    Great point! That still looks like the shallow edge. Unless Kal-Bronn used his powars and carried Jaimito a few yards away with his super-jump.

    I may have missed it, but did Randy Tarly get burnt into rice crispy? Oh well, I'm sure Samwell doesn't give a shit.

    Yeah his whereabouts is a bit of a mystery. Personally, I reckon the fact that we didn't see him perish probably means he didn't as I suspect they'd give him a more juicy on-screen death. He's meant to be this uber warrior after all.

    I believe it is unknown at this point. He ran off to get people to speed up and I'm not sure how far away he was when the attack occurred.

    @pedalhead you may be right, but I don't think most show watchers really care about him or his backstory, to be honest.

    Randyll is supposed to be a good man on the battlefield. But in the moment of most need, he betrayed the Highgarden. This season he has gone full dickhead mode. Maybe he is now KFCs material. Deservingly so.

    But the lord of light's ways are mysterious.
