A lot of
people complained about the episode of Game of Thrones broadcasted the last April
20 2014 and the main reason I heard a lot was about Jaime Lannister being
outside of character, because they say Jaime was redeeming himself and he being
protective of Brienne and stuff, that people started to like him. Well I like
the character, I almost like every single character in the story, ones more
than others, I only don’t like Daenerys Mary Sue Targaryen, but that is for a
complete different post.
So let’s
see what is so redeemable of the good “King Slayer”
1 Killed
the Aerys “Mad King” Targaryen (King he was supposed to follow blindly)
2 High treason,
for sleeping with the queen. (Cersei’s idea but anyway)
3 Killed the
2 sons of Rickard Karstark (In battle but OK)
4 Killed his
cousin to create a distraction.
5 Try to kill Brienne more several
times, by his hand or by making her fight.
6 Advices Brienne to kill a
merchant so he doesn’t talk.
7 Advices Brienne that is better
if she let them rape her (Is better than being beaten and raped)
And that is so far, also what I
could remember but what is so redeemable about him? He saved Brienne? He did
that because she was going to be killed and he had an Oath to Catelyn Stark it could have been a guard or a horse. But
also is the point where I say he is a complicated character, as he said “I have
so many oaths that some contradict each other”
But I paid attention to the
comments and the articles and I know how to find the subtext and read between
the lines and what people was saying was “I like the character and I thought he
was good, but now he does something I don’t like” Well tough, is the good part
in the series, characters are complex and they are not going to be from one
side or the other, sometimes they are going to do stuff that is not that good.
So deal with it.
