It wasn't at all clear whether Bronn (mercenary sidekick to the diminutive Lord Tyrion Lannister) survived the big battle at the end of S2. Or whether Ser Barristan was even still alive after the repulsive coward King Joffrey kicked him to the curb at the end of S1. Or whether Caesar's death near the end of S1 of "Rome" might have been greatly exaggerated...
But in a rather riveting S3 premiere to "Game of Thrones" on Sunday, all three badasses are STILL ALIVE! Which immediatedly provided some excitement and promise to S3 following an S2 that meandered about just a bit slowly for this one's tastes.
What's I'd really like to see now is a hardcore tag team match pitting (1) Bronn and Ser Barristan (with the midget in their corner) versus (2) Joffrey and his daddy, Jaime Lannister (with Joffrey's mama and evil Queen Cersei in their corner). Caesar can be the celebrity referee...
While Jaime could hold his own against either Bronn or Barristan (but not both), Joffrey's pathetic presence pretty much assures the deaths of both him and his pompous ass, incestuous old man. And here's hoping that black pirate dude (Saan) shows up at the end of the match to fulfill his S2 promise to go to King's Landing and bang the Queen. Now THAT would be cool!
