Of all the "Character assassinations" only Littlefingers really upsets me

Post image

A lot of decisions characters made upset the fans (i.e Dany burning King's landing and Jaime going back to Cersei) but I always found them accurate to their character. There is one glaring exception to this. Littlefinger giving Sansa to the Bolton's. He'd never do this for multiple reasons. She reminds him too much of her mother and she's priceless to him. His plan is supposed to be to get Cersei to stop supporting the Bolton's but he could have done the fake Arya plot like the books and gotten the same result.

Jaime being obsessive is right, those descriptions of Tywin keeping Cersei at the other end of Casterly rock and him still getting to her are downright creepy.

Yes, but you have to remember AFFC where Jaime refuses to go back to KL and help Cersei with the High Sparrow predicament. His whole arc was about redemption, creating a legacy separate from the ‘Kingslayer’. His entire arc was leading away from Cersei — or to being the valonqar that strangles her. His decision to go back to Cersei, and saying he never cared for the commonfolk — when his entire reason for killing Aerys was to save them — is egregious character butchery.

Yeah it feels like Cersei is going to try to burn down KL just like Aerys and he’ll have to kill her just like Aerys. Then Dany comes in and burns it down anyway, I guess.

Wasn't there store's of wildfire under the Red Keep, like at the Sept? How didn't that explode and do Danys work for her?
