* HateSink: There's ''nothing'' to like about Polliver - he's a child raping/murdering sociopath who only sides with the king so he can keep commiting his heinous crimes without legal consequences. On the flip side, his demise is easily one of the most karmic and satisfying in the series.

He also pointed out that it was unreasonable of Tyrion to demand him risk his life for him so many times when he never did the same for Bronn.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Several times throughout the show, there are hints indicating that he might not be such a self-serving cutthroat after all, especially during his interactions with Tyrion and Jaime. In the end however, his own status and well-being will always be Bronn's first priority.
Added DiffLines:
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: A minor example. In the fourth season, Bronn, in a scene lifted from the books, dismisses the idea of fighting Ser Gregor Clegane on Tyrion's behalf because he knows his chances of victory are ''very'' risky at best. The scene reminds us that while Bronn is a very tough customer, [[AlwaysABiggerFish he's not Arthur Dayne, Gregor Clegane, or prime Jaime Lannister]]. In the final season, Bronn arrogantly boasts to Jaime that he could have easily beaten him in his prime, a bit of an odd comment considering his earlier, more cautious behaviour.
