Awe...I was expecting Simple Mind's "Don't You (Forget About Me)" with Jon throwing a fist.

Hey, do you suppose King Bran ever sent a "thank you" note to Meera Reed?

Hey, do you suppose King Bran ever sent a "thank you" note to Meera Reed? I dunno. When he told her "thank you", she got all mad and stormed off. (season 7, ep 4)

In retrospect is there a plotline more out of place and needlessly ludicrous than Bronn threatening the Lannisters, getting Highgarden and joining the small council? What purpose did it serve

What purpose did it serve Im thinking maybe that was the beginning of Jamie deciding to go back to be with Cersei, otherwise who the hell knows lol

What purpose did it serve It gave a popular character something to do in Season Eight. At the expense of any kind of reasonable suspension of disbelief and by making two much more important characters look preposterous.

And Tyrion did owe him quite a bit. The fact that he could simply walk up to the Hand of the Queen without encountering guards - and even if Tyrion didnt have them, Jaime would certainly have needed defending in Stark country, the fact that the Hand then put a man who was neither smart nor trustworthy on the Small Council, the fact that Bran honored a promise blackmailed via proxy out of Danearys that would be harmful to many many people etc. etc. etc.

Numerous Hands have been killed over the course of GoT. Dany didn't particularly care for Jaime and wouldn't have assigned a guard for him, and the Starks certainly wouldn't have cared if he got attacked. There is nothing to indicate that Bronn wasn't smart. He seemed quite clever to me. Trustworthiness has never been a prerequisite for a Small Council position. Baelish was hardly trustworthy, Tywin put Oberon Martell on the small council, and Cersei had Tyrell on the council, and neither of them trusted those individuals. How is having Bronn on the small council "harmful to many many people"?

How is having Bronn on the small council "harmful to many many people"? Ned Stark had personal guards, as did Jon Arryn. Tywin Lannister of course and Tyrion was guarded both by Bronn and the Wild Men in his previous stint. Dany would not have assigned guards to Jaime, or been responsible for that kind of thing, her hand would have and her hand was the only person in the North other than Brienne who loved Jaime. Also Bronn said himself several times in the series that he wasn't smart. Trustworthiness has not been a prerequisite sure, and look how that worked out for the men you mention, although Martell was forced on at the Westeros equivalent of gunpoint so shouldnt really count.
