BoldGhost Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Obviously there are a lot of factors to consider with both of their storylines after the Myrcella poisoning and possibility of Stannis still alive and with Brienne. But is it possible now that these strylines are somewhat resolved from how they started this season, that they now somehow return to their book locations and still play out like the book?

Creepyfinger Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Jaime, perhaps. I'm 50/50 on the idea of him sticking around in King's Landing to finish his story there, or leaving Cersei behind to find Brienne. I could see it going either way. On the one hand (seewhatididthere) there is still a lot unresolved between them and there's merit to the theory that he will stop her from committing a Mad-King style burning when Dany turns up and all hell breaks loose. However that could just be wishful thinking on my part, and I could easily see him 'retiring' to the countryside to pursue a future away from Cersei/Lannisters/Knighthood. Brienne, no. IMO she's going to be the one to 'rescue' Sansa from the Boltons in season 6, finally acting as Sansa's fabled 'Knight'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree I think she will be the one to save Sansa but I wasn't sure what kind of timeline we would be looking at for that and didn't think it would be a season long effort. Especially cuz she and Theon jumped over the wall. But I was more unsure of Jaime being in the area to be honest. We haven't heard from Riverrun at all recently in the show and I do think Jaime will kill Cersei so I suppose it makes more sense for him to return to KL and then realize that his hostage isn't safe without him there.

Philpenn Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Jaime says fuck it, has Tommen remove him from the King's Guard, returns to Casterly Rock as the new Lord, raises his banners, and turns them against Cersie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think they Jaime and Brienne will get their stories to some extent (they will make up a new one for them most likely, based on the barest of book plot points), or they wouldn't have had the scene with him gazing at Tarth. It's a really poor way of setting up the story, but there was no reason to include it otherwise. I also think there was no reason to include Sandor mentioning Sansa in seasons 3 and 4 if they weren't going there, too. My guess is somehow or other, they all end up in the same vicinity again.

A Ghost of Someone Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think Briene will be intertwined with Sansa in season 6 but where do they go? futher North would see logical but Littlefinger is bringing Vale men to Winterfell. The Riverlands will be in next year so I think Jaime will head there and we will get the AFFC Jaime with Edmure and the Blackfish. I do not think Briene and Jaime will reunite in Season 6 but 7 maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't see why Brienne and Sansa would go to the Wall, that's as dangerous as anywhere. Brienne wants nothing to do with Stannis, and that's where he came from. The show had Gilly head south because of the rapists at the Wall. And the whole point of the Wall is there is danger on the other side. They redirected Jon's story to NOT involve Sansa, Olly matters more to him than Sansa. And it takes Brienne and Sansa further from their own stories, which is what they don't want to do if they are going to give them their stories back. I think they were all located nearby for a good reason in the books, their plots are intertwined in book 6 (Brienne, Jaime, Sansa, Sandor).

I really hope you're right. It's going to be difficult to steer Jaime's storyline back on track but, nah, who am I kidding? D & D might have him do a complete 180 in the span of a minute. Who knows?

Le Cygne Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yeah, there's always the 180. They said on the Inside the Episode that Cersei would not be happy with Jaime when he gets back. It could be he doesn't even go back. I just can't see with all the cuts that the Tarth moment was something they just added for the hell of it. I think it's signalling he's finally going to make a break from Cersei. That's my guess, anyway. And there was the scene with Bronn, that was also not necessary, where he digs a grave while petting a black horse (like Sandor petted Stranger, another scene that wasn't necessary in season 4), and he calls the horse a Beast (the Hound is the Beast in his story with Sansa) and for that matter, Brienne (the Beast in her story with Jaime), called herself a Beast. So maybe Bronn will go with Jaime (in Ilyn Payne's place) and they will all run into each other at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meera of Tarth Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think they Jaime and Brienne will get their stories to some extent (they will make up a new one for them most likely, based on the barest of book plot points), or they wouldn't have had the scene with him gazing at Tarth.

I also think there was no reason to include Sandor mentioning Sansa in seasons 3 and 4 if they weren't going there, too. My guess is somehow or other, they all end up in the same vicinity again. Yes, agree. I also think they will meet again. But The only think I know for sure is that Jaime will start seeing Cersei differently. i think that what happened to Myrcella can be a reason for them to become more distant; and thus, the story will align with the books. In my opinion, doing that it in two seasons instead of doing that in just one (s5) makes his change of mind more believable; considering, of course the TV medium portrays less moments and thoughts. BTW, I really missed the letter moment. Whatever it happens in s6, related to Brienne, I hope it is more alike with the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbob Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Jaime would be easy to do. Same thing as the books really since he's going back to King's Landing. Brienne would be harder I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The letter moment was so good. The Red Ronnet smack (they could do it with someone else substituting), that's another good moment. "I dreamed of you" - and they didn't have to show the dream to use that line - would have been good, too. It all adds up, these good moments that are lost. They had a really good story, would have been nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
