Jaime's a fucking legend. Everything he does, he does for what he foresees to be a noble cause. He's cunning and manipulative but everything he does, he does for those he loves, for his ******. He's always been there for Tyrion even though ****** and Cersei hated him, he refused to **** Ned Stark in a dishonourable manner outside Baelish's brothel, and he saved the smallfolk of King's Landing from being burned by the Mad King. All things considered, if you mentally ignore the part about him shagging his ****** since he was old enough to pitch a tent, he's a pretty good guy. Well, apart from ******* his own ****** to escape imprisonment by the Northmen, but that doesn't count. It wasn't in the fucking books.
Speaking of not in the books, I don't understand why the last episode tried to portray Catelyn as once having anything but hatred for Jon. What was the point of that scene? Then again, it's reasonably forgivable in comparison to Catelyn actually getting to warn Robb about breaking his oath and not marrying nurse bint, as opposed to him just coming back from The Crag and mumbling "hi ***, this is my... ummm..... wife....."
But yeah, Jaime. He gets all my favourite lines in television and book alike. They even gave Renly's best line from A Game Of Thrones ("the Hand takes the ****") to Jaime! Here are some excerpts from my favourite Jaime part ever - his discourse with Catelyn which in the books took place at Riverrun rather than one of Robb's camps.
"I'd invite you to sit, but your ******* has neglected to provide me a chair."
"A cell is a cell. Some under Casterly Rock make this one seem a sunlit garden. One day perhaps I'll show them to you."
"I seldom fling ******** from towers to improve their health. Yes, I meant for him to die."
"There are no men like me. There's only me."
"I may indeed have **** for honor, I won't deny it, but I have never yet hired anyone to do my *******."
"As for your Ned, he should have kissed the hand that slew Aerys, but he preferred to scorn the arse he found sitting on Robert's throne."
And from ASoS :
“It was that white cloak that soiled me, not the other way around.”
Most people I tell that Jaime is my favourite character look at me aghast, and point out that "the Lannisters are the bad guys, the Starks are the good guys." But then, most people are idiots. They clam up when I ask them if Tyrion is a "bad guy." Here is a quote that sums it up perfectly :
“The battle of good and evil is a great subject for any book and certainly for a fantasy book, but I think ultimately the battle between good and evil is weighed within the individual human heart and not necessarily between an army of people dressed in white and an army of people dressed in black. When I look at the world, I see that most real living breathing human beings are grey.”
― George R.R. Martin
That's enough out of me.
"Jaime Lannister sends his regards."
