depressed

Okay, history lesson, in the books Jaime literally burned a note from Cersei telling him that they could be together and that she needed him more than ever before…to run around the Riverlands with Brienne. 

You’re telling me that after getting the girl, Jaime’s down to die with Cersei, and tell her that she’s the only one who matters to him??? 

He sacrificed his reputation, his honor, to save the people of King’s Landing, and y’all just had him say that he doesn’t care about the innocents?

D&D didn’t just write him badly, they fundamentally misunderstand Jaime’s character. Jaime isn’t “addicted” to Cersei, he has the capacity to move on. He’s intelligent, he’s fiercely loyal, and if they think that he would take Brienne’s virginity and be in a relationship with her for weeks at the very least, and act like it’s nothing…they just don’t get Jaime. 

There is no redemption for him on this show after this, no way to explain. There’s no POINT to the pivotal bath scene in Harrenhal, because it was about his honor, his capacity to do what is right and judge for himself, not jump blindly after Cersei all his life. From that moment, Jaime gains a part of himself back from Brienne-the idealistic knight he once was is reborn, she reminds him that he can be that person again, and he is better for it.
