For me, Jaime’s love for Cersei, although it is, as you say, his worst trait, it’s also the biggest example of what was in the early episodes his only good trait - love of family. Even when he was awful is the early eps, you could see his love for his family and that was at least something good. Yet, sadly, as you see here, it is also the same thing that causes him to do bad things. I do love that scene with Brienne when he says the sword will always be hers. It feels like the sword is so much more than a sword in that moment. Oh and edmure gave up the castle to save his son I assume.

Concerning Cersei, she certainly is no angel, but there is a reason she's not fighting on the front lines like the men who have literally been trained for this their whole lives while she hasn't. Cersei talks about that in s02e09, how when she was a child Jaime and her were very similar, but at some point they were separated and he learnt how to fight and she learnt how to do ladylike things like bow and sew, and she didn't understood why at the time, and said she wished she was born a man. She's trying remain on top with the means that are at her disposal in a patriarchal society, so yes, a lot of intrigues, using warriors who can fight for her, using men who have more power than she does (like her own sons). Brienne and Arya are exceptions in this society, not the rule, and they are lucky that their fathers accepted them as they are. Similar to Rhaenyra and Alicent, Viserys let Rhaenyra be herself, but Alicent was completely under Otto's control growing up. Same thing with Cersei, there's no way Tywin would have allowed Cersei to learn how to fight with a sword and other manly things.

arya left the blood trail on purpose to get the waif in her lair to fight her blind

This is a good analysis. And I’ve always viewed Alicent as a half cersei/half margery and it’s why I absolutely HATE how they butchered her character in House or Dragon and simply make her a weak victim in every circumstance.

I took it as Arya was supposed to make a lie sound like a truth and that’s why when she was training she kept getting slapped when she would change little details like John being her real brother instead, he is your half brother. So I thought when she said, a girl is Arya stark and I’m going home she made a lie sound like the truth because she’s really no one and that’s why he and let her go because she completed her mission and was able to sell the lie.

Now she's the underdog, I liked that moment Mountain killed the religious fighter.

Spartan have your sword, spear, and shield ready " the battle of the bastards " is next

Remember lady Mormont and her 62 warriors from Bear Island kept faith with house Stark

with the type of injuries arya suffereed, there is no way she would be fit enough to do any of that or fight but hey.....I mean her older Bro got stabbed by Roose and that was the final nail as they say.

Rey Jr

Nah I think they made Alicent pretty understandable in ep 9. Also we did not really see what she is capable of.

This was the most disappointing episode of Season 6 IMO. And it is a season with some of my very favorite episodes. The two storylines that really disappointed me were the Jamie Riverrun storyline and the Arya Faceless Man storyline. Both storylines suffer in comparison to the books. And from listening to Spartan and Pudgey, I believe they would really enjoy how these stories are handled in the books too. As far as Jamie and Riverrun, the main problem was the elimination of various storylines and characters in an effort to streamline the story. I understand that the show runners were working toward an ending timeline that they wanted. And I can’t hold that against them. They had devoted many years to this show and decided they were wanting to move on. But some of their cuts hurt the overall story. With Arya’s story it comes down to how the show never really handled the magical story elements. The show runners loved the political intrigue of this story and do a great job with it. The mystical side not so much.

Without giving further stuff away. Consider every thing she does through season 1. In the books it’s implied she was on her own accord fooling with the king while his wife was still around. Much like margerys ambition in KL. Not that Otto forced her to do it once the king was a widower. The death of Harwin strong. It was plotted by someone else and she had no idea. The usurping of the throne for her son… was entirely planned without her. She had no idea. The stupid decision to have Viserys dying words about the prophecy and her accidentally interpreting that as her reason to be okay with usurping the crown. They took away all of her power and decision making and made her a near helpless victim in all circumstances. The only moment she shows anything remotely similar to her book character is the episode 9 where she pulls the knife. And they even made the whole Aemond and Vhagar killing scene an ooopsies. While the book is a collection of vague interpretations of events that specific scene was I believe the most detailed and concrete Dragon battle and it wasn’t an ooopsies. Aemond out of anger rode him down no questions asked and there was witnesses. They make all those changes because they want to split fans between the greens and blacks instead of allowing you to make decisions about the characters as the each do evil and awful things. And that’s gonna take away from a lot of the bad things each of the characters have coming their way.

I think that the High Sparrow is an intriguing character but I don't like how he forces innocent people like Margaery and Loras to suffer

I always thought that was a stupid reason. If they wanted to move on they could've tell HBO that so they could bring on someone competent to bring it home. The decline of quality in writing ( both in story arcs but especially in dialogues ) is very clear from season 5 onwards but there are certain scenes where it gets really bad. In later seasons some characters are reduced to repeating the same 3 lines. Most fans will never forgive them for leaving the way they did and I am firmly in that group.

Blackeyedlily

I agree. I was just trying to put forth what their rationale was. I don’t hate on the guys, because they are responsible for bringing us one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of that decade. But I also don’t think they were up to the task of realizing a great deal of the potential and brilliance of the story as a whole. They did occasionally make a change that resulted in a great scene. I’m a big fan of the Hound and Brienne showdown, which is a significant deviation from the books. But they didn’t seem to know what to do with the magical side of George’s story. And I also feel like many of the shocking scenes in the television show felt like they were done purely for the shock value in the way that D&D did them. And in doing so they lost focus on some of the bigger themes of the story. I do agree that the quality of the dialogue suffered greatly when they didn’t have George’s material to pull from. One of the moments that made Spartan and Pudgey laugh in this episode was when Jamie smacked the Frey son with his golden hand after telling him that he was going to do it if he didn’t shut up. And this detail came straight from the Jamie book chapter in Riverrun, which is a brilliant chapter IMO. But the show dumbed down other aspects of Jamie’s story here, along with dumbing down Edmure’s and Blackfish’s stories too.

With the High Sparrow: I feel like we’re meant to see him as a sadist, a swindler, a con artist, and just an overall bitter and resentful man from living his entire life in the muck. He’s on a revenge path, everything he is doing IS for himself at the end of the day, religion was simply a means to an end for him to accomplish it. Pretty sure he just got high af one night and came up with the entire plan to use the Faith of the Seven to destroy Cersei on a pub napkin and went with it. I think he’s just as smug as Cersei, she’s just worse at putting up a facade. There’s a smile behind the High Sparrow’s eyes when he’s passing judgement or exercising authority over people that feels spiteful. And it’s easier to miss if you’re more focused on the words he’s saying than how the actor delivers it.

If he is a plot device then is Ramsey also just a plot device? I'm confused what is being inferred here. It's highlighting an element of society and the power dynamics of it that is generally not given much limelight prior. It also is an important callback to the history of the faith militant under Aenys 1 Targaryen and the conflict that ensued. I think its an important and relevant aspect of the story and as a result, so is his character.

Spartan tries to act cool on camera but we know he is the biggest Pudgey simp off screen.

So it's not really that confusing. Jaquen prepared Arya for what she needed to do, which was to return home. Arya was always his favourite over the Waif. But he wanted to see if she could come out on top. I think Jaquen always knew Arya would never submit to the faceless men 100% but he wanted to help her.

I feel like we understand each other. To me, this show was magical during the first 4 seasons. The characters ( so nuanced and layered ), the dialogues, the acting. The source material is brilliant, GRRM is an outstanding writer both story and dialogues. And they managed to pair this material with brilliant actors, who were thriving in it and playing off of each other because their scene partner was also of the same quality. Any scene between Olenna Tyrell and Tywin Lannister ( literally any scene with either of them really ) was excellent. Little Finger and Varys, King Robert and Ned, Ser Davos, Jamie, and some of the younger ones, especially Joffrey and Ramsey. I was obsessed with how good this show was and enjoyed this high-quality adaptation of one of the best series of books I've ever read. Then season 5 hits and some of the dialogue feels like it was written by a 13 year old ( the bad pussy and stuff like that ). And its getting worse and worse, ending up in characters becoming a shallow copy of themselves, reduced to repeat the same 2-3 lines, extremely important stuff happening off-screen, smart characters becoming dumb ( "Dany kinda forgot" ), crazy teleportations across the map, etc... At first watch its not that obvious ( unless you've read the books ) until the last 2 seasons because the story is still new and epic but later when you rewatch it, becomes really obvious. I am not saying everything went to shit but thats where its headed in a steady decline and although I have made my peace with it I mourn the show It could've become. The first half of the show is near perfect, I love it and watched it several times. I just wish they maintained at least some of that quality in the later seasons.

Blackeyedlily

I agree with all of this. I just try to be careful of not being someone who hates on D&D. But I was really disappointed with how so many great characters and storylines from the final two books were completely dropped by the show. And I could go on and on with the problems I have about how they handled Dany’s story.

you forgot about jamie threatening to throw edmures son at the castle walls, He let them in to protect his son and essentially himself.

"I'm Arya Stark, and I'm about to hunt some orc" Jaqen sorta looks like a proud Uncle.

One thing they don’t focus on much is that when Cat freed Jaime, she made him swear to never again take up arms against Houses Tully and Stark. In trying to preserve his honor, he threatened Edmure and his child to compel Edmure to surrender the castle peacefully. In the books Blackfish escapes (this plot happened chronologically in S5 because Jaime never went to Dorne in the books) and Jaime was successful in takin back Riverrun without violating his oath to Catelyn. He also gets word that Cersei was arrested by the High Septon with a plea from Cersei to come save her, ending with “I love you, I love you, I love you,” and he chooses not to go back to her. That was the end of the last book with Jaime in it, so that’s where his story left off. Lots of book readers were unhappy that Jaime’s character development regressed in the show and he went back to being all about Cersei and his love for her.
