Seems like he didn't watch all the scouting tapes Hideki Matsui left behind. If he had, he would have known bears always go the other way.

If Kidd was smart he would try to get ahead of this story. His wife will be relieved to hear he'll be beating someone else to the punch.
Look at it from the other side: Cersei does everything she does to protect her kids (an admirable trait). She becomes so pathetic I felt myself feeling bad for her. Jaime does as many fucked up things as anyone, including what I interpreted as raping his sister in the sept, getting Jory killed, Bran out the window,…
Yes!! Totally agree with all of this too!!
Long winded or not, I agree with everything you're saying. I think you're really spot on. You were able to get out a lot of what I was trying to get across.
Yeah, I think he becomes more like able, but I don't really seeing any of these characters as being redeemed. They're all to gray. Just semantics though. What he does doesn't make up for what he did. Like I said above, he leaves Cersei hanging instead of trying to help her at one point.
I would disagree with that. In my opinion, Cersei is equal parts sympathetic and unsympathetic throughout the whole story. I think Jaime waivers too. He ends AFFC leaving the mother of his children, his sister, and his lover in the hands of people wanting to do her harm. Not much of a redemption.
I guess the difference is after re-reading the passage, I don't see it as a huge departure from his character. To me, he doesn't have a redemption arc.
I think if you read the passage again you'd see it's possible within his character. I'd say it's more unlikely he'd have sex, consensual or not, with anyone other than Cersei. That would be a bigger shock.
Yes, totally agree with this.
I was going to reply to this, but it looks like everyone else has done an adequate job.
I've seen that complaint about undoing his character development, but I don't buy that. One of things most people like about this story is that it's unpredictable and doesn't follow normal conventions. Most of the characters are gray. In that episode alone there were three fan favorite characters (Jamie, Hound,…
I'm still kind of baffled by this. Of all the twisted things that have happened on this show (or in the same episode) I still don't see why the internet is melting down following this episode. I've been reading some comment threads and talking to fellow fans and all I can think of is that the circumstances are really…
We can, but I'm surprised anyone remembers what a bunch of sports bloggers said about this in the summer of 2012.
Sorry Mr. Hoffner.
In 2016, at President Ted Cruz's acceptance speech, he'll reflect fondly on the time he saw two pregnant women get a dollar, and cite it as the inspiration for his new American welfare system.
