"The Jaime Lannister and Bronn tag-team is all Ive ever wanted out of both characters, and I didnt even realize it until it happened. They have both come from such different backgrounds but yet are kinda like separated twins personality-wise and share the connective tissue that is their relationship with Tyrion.
One of the interesting things about Game of Thrones is how they like to pair up the odd-couples in previous season. Jaime and Brienne, Arya and The Hound and Tyrion and Bronn, the magic of most of the previous storylines has been the uniqueness of the characters that populate the central storylines.
What that has done is make the pairing of Bronn and Jaime that much more interesting, as we have yet to see the obvious tandem of similar personality types. Pairing the two swashbuckling, romancing, swordsmen is something that in a lesser story would come off as stale, but in Game of Thrones season 5 it just pops off the screen and is so obviously awesome.

Jaime Lannisters Han Solo jacket is easily the MVP of Game of Thrones season 5 at this point. It shows a remarkable attention to detail to highlight the incredible character changes that Jaime has gone through over the course of his five season run in the show.
Hes gone from an overly handsome, but cocky and borderline evil man, to a humbled and sympathetic figure who doesnt really have a place in the world anymore. All he has is his courage and honor and hes out to make things right. Theres no better way to signify a change in character than a change in gear, and Jaimes new gear certainly comes off as more heroic.
Bronn as well is an early MVP candidate. Not knowing anything from the books and only going off of the show, I was a little worried that since the Tyrion/Bronn story had seem to come to its natural conclusion that Bronn would slowly be phased out of importance in Game of Thrones season 5. However, like any good story that knows when they have an awesome character, theyve found ways to continue to incorporate him and use him to his strengths.
Bronn in some ways seems like the long lost brother Jaime never had, hes got all the cockiness and arrogance an Lannister could ever hope to have, and hes maybe Jaimes equal as a swordsman and a lover ..Plus hes killing it with the one-liners right now.
Ultimately, Bronn might not have enough of an impact role in the story to be the MVP of Game of Thrones season 5, but hes kinda the ultimate heat-check player to give his team a lift when the offense is stuck in the mud. Bronn is defintily no Lebron, and probably not Kyrie or Kevin Love, but I think hes kinda the JR Smith of Game of Thrones right now And I mean that as a compliment. Bronn is good for a 6/6 on three-pointers type game every couple episodes and keep the offense going while Tyrion is depressed, Daenerys is lacking confidence and Jaime is re-prioritizing his life.
