Not by the hair of my chilly chin chin.
People would riot.
It would be awesome.
Fwiw, I don't think it will happen due to that witch prophecy.
What moves can he possibly make on his own? And he doesn't want to get the hell away from Cersei, so why would he do that in the first place?

That would be for the writers to figure out
He SHOULD want to get the fuck away from Cersei, that's what I said

The real question is it was so dark how can you tell your men from the others with all the kiling.
Dorne still capable of producing the most talked about one liners in the series. Two years out and we're still talking about their earlier classic, "bad pussy".
Yeah he did not look like he was good at eating pussy. Could've been more... eager
Well, you're the one who keeps bringing it up, so I'm asking you.

I mean how much pussy do you think he's eaten in his life time? Give him a break

And do what? Where would he go? Cersei wouldn't let him leave unless he took refuge with her enemies, and they all consider him an enemy. What's he going to do, stroll up to Dragonstone and say, "hello, I'm that dude that killed your father, can I lend a hand... oh, too late!" Or maybe he can go North, and run into Jon or Sansa, and explain how he wasn't that complicit when plotting the imprisonment and eventual execution of their father or the assassination of their brother and mother, or handing over all their land to the Boltons. Maybe he'll bypass them and run into Bran and explain why it was so important for him to push him out of a window. He is universally recognizable and the Lannisters are basically universally hated at this point, with the additional problem of not having all that money they made them so powerful in the first place, nor the ability to fight that meant he could talk shit to anyone without fear of reprisal. Cersei is literally his only option. Well, I guess he could go to Braavos, but without any money to his name, why bother? His enemies would still hear about him, track him down and kill him. So, what, pray tell, do you think his plan would be upon leaving Cersei?

What part of Jaime is not a fundamentally good individual did his speech at the siege not get across? He has some moral but his selfishness overides. He won't abandon her until it truly becomes a lost cause at most. Literally everything he has done so far was for her and the family.

yeah one of the dumbest things in the show so far and we're only 2 episodes in to the new season
combined with his super effective surprise attack on the main ship and his survival of all of the fighting even though he got hit everywhere and the sand snakes weapons magically weren't poisoned anymore
oh and the actual scene itself having terrible editing and takes
yeah I ran in to the full prophecy again when i was looking at the young cersei scene and man there's no way dany doesn't overthrow her
that being said witch-like women on the show have been wrong before

Cheesy lines are a Dornish export, I guess.

I prefer Cersei too but that's purely because of casting.

fine. let's see how his loyalty to cersei pays off this season, then.
I guess I need to go back and watch the episode. There's alot of hyperbole surrounding this one, if it were one of the worst in the series. I didn't see it as better or worse than anything since last season. We're in glorified fan fiction waters now, might as well get used to it.

Euron going full Stannis the Mannis and straight up tanking like entire groups of trash mobs got overlooked by all the other insane shit.
Euron had led a previous rebellion, so he's on that newgame+ shit where his levels and skills carry over.

You're engaging in hypotheticals. Hypothetically, Jaime leaves Cersei. Fine, what then? You can't just disengage because people are pushing back with you to fill in the blanks that hypothetical invariably opens up. Jaime is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He's already made enemies with all of Cersei's enemies; if he makes enemies with her too, that leaves him with absolutely no one on his side. How is that preferable to being on the side of the queen, even if she is potentially crazy and destined to lose the war? He's fucked either way. And if you're going to die regardless, dying in a castle drunk on wine is probably preferable to hiding in squalor because there's a price on your head.

Jaime got into a swordfight with Ned in season 1 and Jaime crippled Bran.
I know episode 1 of the series was a long time ago, but dude c'mon, the entire show hinges on a very specific Stark & Jaime grudge.

The ONLY way I see Jaime turning on Cersei is if all is lost and Cersei goes the, 'if I can't have the throne no one will' route and plans to execute the Mad King's plan. Even still, he's made it clear countless times that no one matters but her. This was the same guy who just last season threatened to catapult Edmure's infant child at a castle just to get back to her sooner.

nah. although, I heard GRRM cares little for prophecies so I don't know if the whole valonqar thing will be shown on screen what people expect. It might be another twist.
Fair enough, I stand corrected. I agree with you on this post. But for me this isn't quite the only show I am watching

Jaime was also imprisoned by the Starks for the entirety of Season 2, so I doubt he's all that friendly with them, either.
And yeah, I'm picking on shit in the episode, but I liked the episode. I only nitpick because I love!

I'm upset Arya decided to immediately go to Winterfell. She could've delivered Cersei's head to Jon instead.

This explains a lot for me about this episode. Thanks.
Oh shit, Jaime has dementia.
You should have been here last week. The Artist was defending on his own that Margaery Tyrell and Daenny Targaryen are less evil then Cersei. But there was quite a big defence force saying that Cersei is less evil
As the person who was arguing on Cersei's behalf, I can tell you that's not even close to what I was arguing.
