Rose-Papillon Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I made a supercut of all of Jaime and Brienne's scenes together, and it works just fine on it's own: http://youtu.be/4RLVmrGK9og Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Dany since she is the main character of ASOIAF anywaysNo, she's not. Odds are the show will be cancelled before she reaches Westeros, which would make her whole inclusion on the show pointless (as her scenes aren't particularly good drama in and of itself).

The Crow Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Dany since she is the main character of ASOIAF anyways ASOIAF has no main character, and if it did; it would most likely be Jon anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBAluke579 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Starks vs. Lannisters definately. That so far is the Main,Main storyline in my opinion on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeping Sore Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I would read a book that was exclusively from Varys's POV from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose-Papillon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I love this so much, thank you! If only there was "I dreamed of you" in there, sigh.Or "I only rescue maidens". Still, we got the goodbye scene, so that's something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Or "I only rescue maidens". Still, we got the goodbye scene, so that's something?I only rescue maidens, just to hear him say that, he would have nailed that line. I don't know if I'll ever get over that, TBH..But you're right, we have the goodbye scene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 ASOIAF has no main character, and if it did; it would most likely be Jon anyways.In the show he isn't though, they're doing a number on his storyline (even though admittedly it got better in the last few episodes).I'm surprised at the amount of people saying KL would make for a good storyline on its own. It would bore quickly, imo. It would be like The Borgias on Showtime, and that show got canned after 3 seasons.I think the Wall, Dany and Tyrion's storyline could make a series, Jaime/Brienne could make a movie.

I don't know if I'll ever get over that, TBH..But you're right, we have the goodbye scene!I'm not sure why "I only rescue maidens" is such a beloved line. So if Brienne had been gang-raped by the Bloody Mummers (or Locke's men) she wouldn't be worth rescuing? I'm sure it's meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I'm not sure how charming it is to be reminded that in Westeros, a hymen-less woman is basically dog-shit.

Le Cygne Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm not sure why "I only rescue maidens" is such a beloved line.Way to miss the point. That's reducing this fabulous twist on a fairytale to a literal interpretation of one line. The sapphires story, and him rushing back to save her, is because he didn't want this truly horrible thing to happen to her, and he tried to protect her from this, over and over again. And he wants to know, is she all right? And then the thought of Jaime as a white knight from the fairy tales is pretty laughable, even to him. But here she is, and she's even got on a pink dress, and he's doing this dashing thing to rescue her. So when he says, I only rescue maidens, she gets it, he gets it, we all get it. It's funny, but it's also sweet, and caps off the story perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeping Sore Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I got that. You asked why we all loved it.I almost think the line plays better to the modern reader than it really would have played to Brienne at the time.We as readers understand the reference he's making, and I think we assume that if the "Sapphires" ploy hadn't worked, he still would have rescued her.But would Brienne assume that? Or would she think that since she had been raped, she was as good as dead anyway, or possibly no longer worth Jaime risking his life?Anyway, that's the joke. My point is, given the reality of a woman in Westeros, it's a very cutting joke because it hits very close to the truth. I don't think it's sweet. Look at what happened to Lollys. What knight would risk his life to save her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Papillon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I....can't believe what I'm reading. That line is a joke. Jaime uses it to make light of the situation, but also as a way to play off the fact that he was a moment ago genuinely checking to see that Brienne was not raped.If she had have been, I imagine he would have been enraged, but she wasn't so he quickly covers himself by saying "oh good, I only rescue maidens".

I just don't think it's a good one. And I'm a MAJOR Jaime/Brienne shipper in the books and on-screen. I honestly think cutting the line is an improvement, and as GRRM wrote "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", he probably thinks so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Papillon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 GRRM didn't write the bear pit scene. It was originally in episode 8, and it got shifted into episode 7 during editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
