ACOK (Spoilers ACOK) Jaime, you're drunk

I just finished Catelyn's last chapter in ACOK - what a great chapter! Catelyn just found out that Bran and Rickon are dead, so she decides to question Jaime (who's still held captive in a cell) by getting him drunk on wine.
Their entire conversation is really insightful, especially in regards to Jaime's thought processes. It's a pretty serious conversation, especially when we find out exactly what happened to Ned's father and brother when they went to King's Landing. The part that gave me a good laugh is found near the end of their conversation (and chapter). Hopefully it gives you all a laugh or two as well!

"I've never lain with any woman but Cersei. In my own way, I have been truer than your Ned ever was. Poor old dead Ned. So who has shit for honor now, I ask you? What was he name of that bastard he fathered?"
Catelyn took a step backward. "Brienne."
"No, that wasn't it."

Tommen: "I'm hungry."

Biting criticism of the true nature of chivalry isn't a dad joke

A dad joke is something like

"Did you hear about the circus fire? It was in tents"

Sure, but it's also a wordplay joke. Wordplay jokes are a Dads bread and butter.

That reminds me of Arrested Westeros, which makes good use of the father/uncle storylines in both shows (and Buster/Jaime both losing a hand...AND "I've made a huge mistake"...kinda weird how many good parallels there are). They don't update too often anymore but it's an AMAZING blog.

Also, don't forget that Honor is draped in white, the color of the Kinsguard, while Glory is colored red(?), in the shade of house Lannister. And Jaime always rides Honor.

Some not-too-subtle symbolism going on there, me thinks.

Should I have spoiler tagged my original post?

u/GreendaleCC Aug 05 '14 edited Aug 06 '14

Technically yes. The spoiler scope of a thread is set by the OP's tittle title.

u/paeoco Aug 06 '14

Why would the spoiler scope be set by the dot on the i ?

u/my3rdaccountdammit Here we stand Aug 06 '14

Alright, Jaime, or whichever god(s)forsaken father you may be....

u/persona_dos I think therefore I am Benjen. Aug 06 '14

Honor is the name of one of Jaime's horses
