The Commentator Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 11 hours ago, Drogonthedread said: Most of the acts have been already mentioned ..so I would go with one thing that no one didn't mention till now .. Daenerys taking unsullied and astopor...she basically played a huge gamble and we can see her fear through the while situation and it payed off well. I agree that's another show of great courage. Even more, it is a heroic act to free the Unsullied from their masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boarsbane Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 55 minutes ago, khal drogon said: I somehow relate it with Quentyn trying to steal a dragon. Both are stupid. Some may see it as stupid but I just see it as desperate as he was trying to free up the Redwyne fleet so they could return to defend his homeland, so he took Dragonstone as fast he could despite the cost.

Wolf of the Steppes Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 A lot of people mention Jaime in the bear pit, and I can see why. But..... Quote Not until they were half a league from Harrenhal and out of range of archers on the walls did Steelshanks Walton let his anger show. "Are you mad, Kingslayer? Did you mean to die? No man can fight a bear with his bare hands!" "One bare hand and one bare stump," Jaime corrected. "But I hoped you'd kill the beast before the beast killed me. Elsewise, Lord Bolton would have peeled you like an orange, no?" A Storm of Swords - Jaime VI I like this quote because it illustrates perfectly that there is a fine line between bravery and madness. What one considers brave, another might consider madness. However, in this case (according to Jaime himself) we can see that it is neither.

StepStark Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lot of good examples here. I'll add one that's usually not mentioned but I think it definitely is very brave: Tyrion abandoning his escape from KL just so he can face Tywin. Bare in mind that he didn't know Tywin's going to be in the toilet, meaning defenseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since he didn't really plan to kill him and has always had a sore spot about not getting any approval from his father I agree that it was a very brave thing to do from an emotional standpoint.

Two options: 1) he's an old man and old men spend a lot of time on the toilet; or 2) the ever popular Oberyn poisoned Tywin theory. I don't know how he knew, just that the author wrote that he did.

But at the point when Tyrion made the decision to abandon the escape and face Tywin, he had no way of knowing Tywin's going to be on the toilet.

Makk Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Jon dealing with Stannis always seemed pretty brave to me. Refusing to grant him castles, doing the baby switcheroo, shooting fMance. Davos dealing with Stannis as well for that matter in saving Edric Storm, had his sons life to worry about as well, not just his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curled Finger Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Arya and Brienne do a great many brave things. Jamie's rescue of Brienne in the Bear Pit. Jon and Sam during their 1st visit at Craster's. Stannis taking up the cause at the Wall. Davos' rescue of Edric Storm. Pod throwing rocks at "squishers". Little Finger's rescue of Sansa, much as we all know it was self-serving that took cajones to take her right from under their noses. The Blackfish refusing to surrender to Jamie with an entire army behind him. Jon's refusal to kill the horse man. Sam's entire protection of Gilly. Jon switching the babies. Val returning and bringing the wildlings to terms. Oberyn agreeing to defend Tyrion. Jon Con saving Tyrion from the river. Tyrion's rescues of Sansa, Jorah and Penny. Asha trying to rescue Theon. Even Ned's offer to send Cersei and her children into exile was brave. There are so many. #1 will change day to day for me but tonight I feel like Arya using her 3rd name to free the Northmen at Harrenhall was epic.

The problem with this one is that at this stage Tyrion doesn't place any value on his own life so he doesn't have anything to lose. Tyrion does have bravery though, he isn't a fighter so leading the foray out during the battle of the blackwater was pretty ballsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being in the bed chamber does not automatically equal being in the privy. Tywin could have been anywhere in the castle, working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
