On the other hand the changes to the Arya chapters are quite enjoyable. Tywin is an awesome character and the additional information about him is fascinating

[damianlo]

that last scene with Theon is my fav of the whole series

[iCanBeHeroic]

Read the books. It's not out of character at all. Jamie does what he needs to to survive. And the only way out was killing his cousin, He even says "This one is not truly a Lannister, He has milk in his veins"

[crazyrockydays]

I loved Cersei in this episode! The scene between Cersei and Tyrion, Cersei and Sansa.

[LOLinflames]

remember jaime's not exactly the type of character who thinks things through. Driven by impulse. He even said it on this episode where if he wasn't good at killing, he'd be useless.

For those who "don't understand why Jaimes murders his cousin". He was locked in a cage for more than a year the guards had no reason to get into the cage, the notion that he could have made the guards come inside differently is invalid.The scene is there for a very good reason. To show us the true Jaimes. A man that would exploit even the slightest chance and opportunity in order to try escape. Even kill his own cousin. .You wouldn't kill your cousin..
Jaimes is not ...you

I read all the books and I hate when the bookreaders are whinin 'it's not a real Jaime he would never do that' etc. He didnt do it in the books but it was completely true to his character. Jaime loves his IMMEDIATE family, people he knows and care about - Alton/Cleos was no1 to him, in Jaime's world people like Alton are pawns to be used. That changes a bit in a later books. NCW and the way he portrays Jaime is absolutely perfect. Can't wait tto see him in season 3.

[Melhendring]

Well, this Alton Lannister isn't a character from the book anyway, and during the dialogue and in the books Jaime made it clear that he only cares about Tywin and his children ("What of my siblings ?" he asked Cat and he wasn't interested in Willem's death or Tion's, I don't remember well. He did say that he talked about Cersei and Tyrion anyway). Well, I think that Benioff made that call to introduce the Karstarks in the story to justify Rickard's wish to have Jaime's head.

lo mejor de no haber leido los libros es que uno puede ver la serie y emocionarse con todo lo que pasa.

[Chickolelli]

People don't understand that this show is an adaptation of the books. The show follows the books as much as a TV show can allow, and I the show AND the books as two separate but similar stories. GoT RULES

[genesis]

i love that jaime tells him he has to die but dont attacks him right away, he waits just a moment, to let him realize what is about to happen

[kevyy]

Cant agree with this on a number of levels. 1.jamie did not care when joffery died as well as Tywin. Also Jamie refuses to help Cersei when she is been put to trail.

[RavenStillBeguiling]

Book Jaime might not, and that's definitely debatable, but the Jaime in the show is not him. I will never understand why people have to keep comparing instead of enjoying the show as a different entity.

[lawoftheeast]

Even as a fan and book-read apologist for the TV series, I... have to agree. Wow, you're bringing some of his book characterization back for me.

[RavenStillBeguiling]

No but he threw a kid out a fucking window to save himself. You think he wouldn't do the same thing again because the guy is a Lannister? Really? Since when did Jaime care about honor in Book 2? Ever since he was dubbed Kingslayer, he's spent his whole life looking down at the very notion. It isn't until he is crippled, until his identity as a soldier is taken away, that he begins to open himself to it. Guess what, that hasn't happened in the series yet

[RavenStillBeguiling]

I'm pretty sure he meant that he's a monster at sword fighting. Meaning that he's good. It's slang. Also Jaime IS a killer. That's what he does for a living, he defines himself by how well he fights. It's why him losing his hand changes the way he perceives himself. Also Jaime didn't start showing any "greyness" until we got his POV chapters which wasn't in Book 2 "dumbass"

[Redbullluva]

I'd argue that they had altered the character personalities quite a bit also. I agree with what you said about Dany and Jon. Also, I noticed subtle things the series takes away from which are character building - insignificant to most - but important if you're interested in the inner workings of the 'people' within the stories. Eg. Myrcella crying, when she was supposed to be the strong one of the siblings; shedding no tears - unnecessary to change for the series which I find a shame.

[LOLinflames]

actually what book readers don't understand or seems to forget is that, Jaime at book 2 to early book 3 is still pretty much the same douche as he was from the beginning. The same old other than family. Some readers have developed such a fanbase for him that they forget how he originally was.
Bottom line is, he hasn't changed yet.

[Apocalyptica]

"Intimate awkwardness" .. well said

[Melhendring]

Moreover, at this point of the books, he really is this violent killer. They're right, he enjoys the battlefield and told Tyrion the feeling he gets while fighting is one of the best things he ever had. Jaime becomes a really cool guy when he gets to know Brienne.
